Jim Kelly

Books 1-5 in the Philip Dryden series from CWA Dagger award-winning author Jim Kelly, set beneath the endless skies of the Cambridgeshire Fens.

These unputdownable and atmospheric crime mysteries are laced with dark secrets and a protagonist who is as flawed as he is determined.

The Cambridgeshire Fens are known for their miles of open, remote farmlands and sprawling marshes. The constant threat of flooding and the unpredictable weather make it a difficult terrain to navigate, but the locals wouldn’t wish to be anywhere else. The desolate beauty stretches as far as the eye can see.
