On a cold Manchester night, Victor Mitchum and his loyal-ish dog witness something they were never meant to see. Living on the streets has made Victor good at watching people—which is exactly why private investigator Kasper Dabrowski recruits him to help find a missing woman.   But as Victor watches from the shadows, he realises he has stumbled into something far more dangerous. Working alongside Kasper and his sister, Victor discovers he’s not just tracking kidnappers—he’s watching killers. And now they know someone is watching them.   With time running out for their victims, Victor must rally his unlikely allies—the forgotten people of Manchester’s streets—in a desperate fight for survival. But in a city where the powerful prey on the vulnerable, can a man society has chosen to ignore become the hero these families need?© 2026 by D. E.

And now an old friend is dead.    When a homeless man's body is found in a derelict school, appearing to have died of an overdose, Victor Mitchum knows it wasn't an accident. He knew Sawney from his own days on the streets. Sawney was clean, scared, and being hunted by dangerous people.    Working with private investigators Kasper and Zofia Dabrowski, and aided by his dog, Oscar, Victor traces the events that led to Sawney's death. His search leads him into Manchester's hidden places—disused buildings, private security firms, and communities forced to live in the margins.    But as he closes in on the truth, Victor finds himself caught between powerful interests, a grieving crime family, and a city willing to look the other way.    Someone wanted his old friend silenced. Can Victor find out why before he meets a similar fate?© 2026 by D. E.

Someone is targeting Manchester’s most vulnerable—and they’re just getting started.   Harry Sanders is found dead in a derelict pub. The authorities call it a tragic accident, but Victor recognises the signs of something far more sinister. He knew Harry from his own days on the streets—and Harry had been scared, convinced someone was following him.    Working with private investigators Kasper and Zofia Dabrowski, Victor inherits Harry’s dog, Cleo, causing friction with Oscar, his own wilful dog, and uncovers a disturbing pattern. Homeless men with dogs are disappearing across the city. But as Victor closes in on answers, the detective agency itself comes under attack from a corrupt police officer with a vendetta.   Caught between loyalty to his friends and an offer that could finally give him stability, Victor must navigate Manchester’s criminal underworld to unmask a killer. And when the investigation explodes into a deadly confrontation, Victor will have to decide how far he’s willing to go—and who he’s willing to become—to save the people he cares about.   © 2026 by D.
