Forgotten Souls

Whitby's Forgotten Victims, Book 3

By: Wes Markin

Narrated by: Aubrey Parsons

Continue to discover the dark truths of Whitby's Forgotten Victims in this gripping new thriller by bestselling British crime author Wes Markin.

No soul is quiet, yet the cry of the forgotten soul is impossible to ignore.

When the sea yields a grim discovery on Whitby's coast, DCI Frank Black hears the haunting cry of Greg Lyle - a vulnerable 13-year-old boy fascinated by sea creatures, last seen walking his beloved dog, Buddy, twenty-six years ago.

Alongside his autistic companion, DI Gerry Carver, Frank pursues this cry through a labyrinth of shattered homes, hidden identities, and religious obsessions.

In Greg, Frank recognises Gerry's vulnerability. In Simon Lyle, he sees reflections of his own failings as a father.

As buried truths surface, Frank's resolve only strengthens.

He will answer the cry of this forgotten soul.

Even if it costs him his own.

Bestselling Wes Markin is back with the start of an exciting new series, perfect for fans of David Gatward, JD Kirk, Rachel McLean, JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave.

Critic reviews

'Take shelter! There’s a storm brewing over Whitby. Compelling, atmospheric, characters to root for – this book has everything!' TG Reid, Dark is the Grave

A Lot of Heart

By this third installment, the characters, Frank Black, Gerry Carver, and other supporting characters are well-developed and real, with all their strengths and weaknesses. The storyline was intricate with details leading to the solving of the cold case, as well as other details with outcomes separate from the main investigation. This story exhibited a lot of heart as Frank realizes his affection for Gerry, and, while she doesn’t admit it, Gerry’s concern for Frank’s health displays her affection for him. When the chips are down, I’d want Frank Black in my corner every time!

Aubrey Parsons is a great narrator

I like the series and would like to see more. Please keep DCI Frank going

Instant Favorite
