DCI Jonny Priest

Fresh from his recent promotion, he bids a fond farewell to The Metropolitan Police and heads northwest for a new challenge with the Greater Manchester Police Force.

He is immediately thrown into a murder investigation; a teenager brutally murdered in a nightclub. Priest soon comes to realise that this is not the first murder of its kind in the area, and with a truly sinister pattern emerging, DCI Priest and his team have a race against time to prevent further deaths.

Fresh starts never quite deliver the promises they hold; DCI Priest is met with two elements from his past - one very much welcome, the other tragic and long forgotten.

Has he got what it takes to lead and inspire a new team? Can he keep his personal challenges separate from his work life? Can he catch a killer before he strikes again, and again?
