Detectives Calladine & Bayliss Books 1–10 (Calladine & Bayliss #1-10)

Meet two of Britain’s favourite detectives
Tom Calladine is an experienced detective inspector who is devoted to his job. His personal life, however, is a disaster zone. Having been married and divorced before the age of twenty-one has set a pattern that he finds difficult to escape. Fortunately he has better instincts for detecting than he has for managing his private life.

Ruth Bayliss is in her mid-thirties, plain-speaking but loyal. A single mother, she is balancing her professional life with looking after a small child. She loves her job, but sometimes she wishes it would leave her more time to hit the gym. She uses her demanding workload as an excuse for not trying too hard with the guys she meets.

The books are set in the fictional village of Leesdon on the outskirts of an industrial northern English city (think Manchester!). There is little work and a lot of crime. The bane of Calladine’s life is the Hobfield housing estate, breeding ground to all that is wrong with the area that he calls home.
