Ely North is the bestselling author of the DCI Finnegan Yorkshire Crime Thriller series—gritty, gripping British police procedurals set against the haunting beauty of Whitby, the North York Moors, and surrounding coastal villages. Leading the charge is DCI Frank Finnegan—a sharp-witted, old-school detective with Irish-Welsh roots and a Yorkshire tongue. With his dry humour and “never back down” attitude, Finnegan is a fan favourite: “a good policeman and a great character.” He’s flanked by DS Zac Stoker, known for his blunt honesty and dogged loyalty, and DI Prisha Kumar, a smart, modern counterbalance to Finnegan’s old-fashioned methods. Their camaraderie—and the occasional clash—gives the series heart as well as edge. Since its 2022 debut, Ely North’s series has captivated readers worldwide, earning over 29 million Kindle Unlimited page reads, with Black Nab alone topping 3.3 million. North’s storytelling blends “twists and turns that keep you guessing” with authentic characters and a strong sense of place. One reviewer called it “as addictive as anything by Ann Cleeves,” while another said, “Ely North is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.” Perfect for fans of Dervla McTiernan, Peter Robinson, and Joy Ellis, Ely North’s novels offer crime fiction with atmosphere, dark secrets, and the occasional laugh in the face of murder. The DCI Finnegan series is set to continue for many more books to come.
