After the Bridge, a crime novel that starts and ends on the Humber bridge and spends the rest of the time in Manchester, will be published by Hit the North on Friday, 22nd November, 2024.

Two suicidal lost souls — failing actor Owen and traumatised Ukrainian refugee Becky — bump into each other by accident on the Humber bridge. They postpone death to honey-trap men, but they find themselves drowning in a cesspit of cynicism, corruption and criminality after a blackmailer dies on them in a Manchester hotel. They can only rescue each other if they rediscover their humanity.
