A BODY RECLAIMED BY WATER.

A LANDSCAPE SHAPED BY SECRETS.

A CASE THAT REFUSES TO STAY BURIED.

FROM AN AMAZON #1 BESTSELLING KINDLE SERIES.

Over 185,000 copies sold worldwide.

Including an Audible #1 audiobook. "Viscerally gripping and methodically plotted." — SPR Editorial Review.

When a man is found dead in the wetlands of rural Lancashire, DCI Jonathan Walker is called to what appears to be a tragic accident.

It isn’t.

As more bodies surface, Walker and DC Shelly Briggs uncover a chilling possibility: someone is using the landscape itself — the floods, the isolation, the treacherous terrain — to conceal murder.

But the deeper they dig, the more the case turns inward.

Evidence vanishes.

Assumptions fracture.

Nothing is as it seems.

Then the investigation takes a devastating turn.

With lives at risk and the truth slipping further out of reach, Walker faces a case that will test not only his judgement — but his will to survive.

Bleaker and more intense than ever, this investigation strips away comfort and certainty, revealing how easily safety can disappear — and how quickly good intentions can turn dangerous.

Dark, atmospheric, and psychologically charged, The Wetlands is one of the most demanding cases of Walker’s career — a gripping British police procedural exploring obsession, isolation, and buried trauma.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy Ann Cleeves, Peter James, LJ Ross, Rachel McLean, and Wes Markin.

The Wetlands is the sixth book in the DCI Walker Crime Thrillers series. Each audiobook can be enjoyed as a standalone, but the full experience is best in order.
