The first three crime thrillers in the Detective Sebastian Clifford series together in a single collection for the first time.

Web of Lies, Book 1

A trail of secrets. A dangerous discovery. A deadly turn.

Police officer Sebastian Clifford never planned on becoming a private investigator. But when a scandal leads to the disbandment of his London-based special squad, he finds himself out of a job. That is until his cousin calls on him to investigate her husband's high-profile death and prove that it wasn't a suicide.

Clifford's reluctant to get involved, but the more he digs, the more evidence he finds. With his ability to remember everything he's ever seen, he's the perfect person to untangle the layers of deceit.

He meets Detective Constable Bird, an underutilized detective at Market Harborough's police force, who refuses to give him access to the records he's requested unless he allows her to help with the investigation. Clifford isn't thrilled. The last time he worked as part of a team it ended his career. But with time running out, Clifford is out of options. Together they must wade through the web of lies in the hope that they'll find the truth before it kills them.

Speak No Evil, Book 2

What happens when someone's too scared to speak?

Ex-police officer Sebastian Clifford had decided to limit his work as a private investigator, until Detective Constable Bird, aka Birdie, asks for his help.

Twelve months ago a young girl was abandoned on the streets of Market Harborough in shocking circumstances. Since then the child has barely spoken. With the police unable to trace her identity, they've given up. The social services team in charge of the case worries that the child has an intellectual disability, but Birdie and her aunt—who's fostering the little girl—disagree. They believe she's gifted and intelligent, but something bad happened and she's living in constant fear.

Clifford trusts Birdie's instinct, and together they work to find out who the girl is so she can be freed from the past. But as secrets are uncovered, the pair realize it's not just the child who's in danger...

Never Too Late, Book 3

A vicious attack. A dirty secret... and a chance for justice.

Ex-police officer Sebastian Clifford is quickly finding that life as a private investigator is never quiet. His doors have only been open a few weeks when DCI Whitney Walker approaches him to investigate the brutal attack that left her older brother, Rob, with irreversible brain damage.

For nearly twenty-five years, Rob had no memory of that night, but lately, things are coming back to him. Whitney's worried that her brother might–once again–be in danger.

Clifford knows only too well what it's like to be haunted by the past, so he agrees to help. But the deeper he digs, the more secrets he uncovers, and soon he discovers that Rob's not the only one in danger.

I absolutely loved this book bundle. I binged this in three days. The characters are fantastic I love them and their relationships, which is made all the better by the performance of Jonathan Keeble as the narrator. He is wonderful, and a joy to listen to! I have bought the next two books and binged these too. can't wait for book six.

Sally Rigby is my new favourite author!

I was initially hesitant to listen to this book, but am so pleased I did. Absolutely brilliant detective stories and likeable characters. My only niggle was the narrator; most of the female characters sounded like drag queens and his interpretation of some of the older characters and more senior police officers sounded like they had 60-a-day smoking habits, a bit too gravely and very irritating. However this didn’t put me off the actual storylines, which I found riveting.

Brilliantly written

Really enjoyed all three books and getting 3 for the price of 1 is brilliant value! Love Birdy and Seb as character so looking forward to more books about them.

Great value for money getting 3 books in 1

I quite enjoyed these books. Three good stories with a decent plot. The narration was good but the female characters all sounded the same. There are two things which actually annoyed me a little. Very simplistic language was used to explain things and it just didn’t need it. Secondly, some of the childish behaviour and language actually spoiled parts of it for me! It was very annoying.
If I hadn’t got all three at once I wouldn’t have gone past book one! Still, it’s an easy listen to wile away some time.

Enjoyable although………

Really enjoyed this series. The cases are gripping and well written, but what really makes it stand out is the relationship between Seb and Birdie - their dynamic adds humour, warmth and a lot of heart to the story.

Sally Rigby has a great way of pulling you into the investigation and keeping the pace moving, and before you know it you’re hooked. I also loved the narration, which really brings the characters to life.

I’m quickly becoming a big fan of Sally Rigby and can’t get enough of her books at the moment. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a good British crime thriller.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Couldn’t Stop Listening - loved Seb and Birdie
