Cold Summer

‘A police procedural so action-packed it reads like a thriller – with a Nepalese twist.’ (Dr Andy Martin, Reacher Said Nothing: Lee Child and the Making of Make Me)

‘It's always a joy to catch up with Rick Castle! Cold Summer is the best book so far in this gripping series. James Ellson's books just keep getting better!’ (Samantha Brownley, UK Crime Book Club)

The third book in the critically acclaimed DCI Castle series.

A race against time as DI Castle hunts for two wanted suspects before they kill each other.

Manchester, England, the European migration crisis rampant . . .

On the site of a disused supermarket, the hidden compartment of an articulated lorry is being unloaded. At the same time, a prisoner escapes from Strangeways.

Are the two things connected?

DI Rick Castle, recently demoted but inspirational, starts to investigate . . .

Nothing will be the same again.
