DCI Liam Doyle is haunted by the demons from his past and the challenges of the present: a broken marriage, a tarnished reputation, and a troubled young son who needs him. He’s newly moved out of south London – and out of his comfort zone.
When a murdered woman is found at a Lancashire beauty spot in his new patch. Doyle is tasked with finding her killer, along with his new detective sergeant, Anna Morgan.
As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that things are not as they seem. A clever killer has created a complex web of deceit and is always one step ahead of Doyle … and the bodies are mounting up. Is the past the key to unlocking the present? When the stakes get higher, Doyle’s need to find the killer becomes personal and the detective is plunged into a desperate race against time.
Will Doyle succeed before he has another dead body on his conscience?
Played out across the rugged Lancashire landscape, Cut Shortis a gripping crime thriller layered with plot twists and sprinkled with humour. This fast-paced novel, the first in a series featuring DCI Liam Doyle, will have readers on the edge of their seats.
If you have enjoyed books by authors such as Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk and Alex Smith, you won’t want to miss Cut Short.

About the author

Fast approaching fifty; without enough money for a sports car, BD Spargo decided to express his mid-life crises by turning to crime ...
thankfully, for pretty much everyone, this meant writing crime fiction rather than anything more nefarious.
Originally from London, he spent his early career working on television and theatre productions including the Ruth Rendall Mysteries broadcast on ITV.
A life changing accident necessitated retraining and a change of direction going on to work in mental health services. This culminated in ten years managing a ground breaking forensic psychiatric service.
He now lives in Lancashire with his family and is getting acclimatised to the rain.
