As the death count grows, old records, and bodies, go missing. Caught in a turf war between the police and the coroner’s office, Ridpath is in a race against time. A race to save his career, his marriage, and innocent lives.
When a detective disappears everything is on the line. Can Ridpath save his colleague?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Police procedural meets medical intrigue in this absorbing crime novel set in atmospheric Manchester. Where the Truth Lies marks the debut of DI Thomas Ridpath, who’s torn between his roles in the local police and the coroner’s office while pursuing a serial killer who might just have ties to his very first case. There’s even more at stake, too, as Ridpath tries to save both his rocky marriage and his missing colleague. This protagonist was an immediate hit with readers and inspired quite a long string of subsequent outings. It’s easy to see why: he’s dedicated yet sensitive, with plenty on the line at all times. Author M.J. Lee brings this world to life with a dark sense of humour and short, sharp chapters that encourage propulsive page-turning.
Customer Reviews
Where The Truth Lies
Great character! Ridpath is all too human and that is what makes him so interesting. Loved it!
Twists and Turns
I could hardly put this book down. Suspenseful throughout and new twist sand turns around every corner.
Too gruesome
The parts with the murderer were too much. It was kind of disturbing to read.
