These three emotionally-charged books follow the journey of two families bereaved by the actions of a gang of drug-dealers. Gavin and Chrissie mourn their police officer son, crushed while attempting to make an arrest. The only witness who might reveal the identity of the killers is teenager Harry Whittle. His parents struggle to cope after finding him dead in their own home a few days later. But that is only the beginning ...

Weed Killers, subtitled Christmas Mourning, is set in December 2019 as both families prepare for Christmas. The police work tirelessly to bring the killers to justice. Eventually they take the gang into custody.

But before they can be tried and convicted, the COVID-19 pandemic intervenes. Crown Courts are closed. Jury Trials are suspended. As the months drag on, it seems that the killers are getting away with murder. In Lost in Lockdown (May Mourning) we see how the two families face up to the news that the suspects are to be released on bail, as part of a scheme to prevent the spread of cornavirus in prisons, and how being confined by the national lockdown affects each person differently.

The final part fo this trilogy, Victim Statements (Cold and Frosty Mourning) focuses on preparing for the trial when, after many delays and cancellations, it does eventually come. Young police constable Stella Gilbert worries about giving evidence for the first time. The Whittles worry about what to say in court about the impact of Harry's death. Chrissie worries that her work as a Special Needs teacher is suffering. Gavin ... well Gavin has a mysterous corpse in the woods to worry about, but that's another story!
