The sleepy fishing village of Cruden Bay hides a centuries old dark secret deep beneath its bewitched surface.

After solving the case of the Black Widow, Detective George Reynolds and forensic pathologist Ellena Walker are off to Cruden Bay, Scotland. But what they think will be a romantic getaway soon turns into a mission to save the village from an ancient and deadly enemy. Forced to investigate a string of unexplainable occurrences and find out the truth. One steeped in the supernatural that leaves George struggling to know the best path to take.

With the help of Ellena Walker, George must discover the connection between the ancient village, Ellena's own family history and why ADI Locke would steer them to danger. While also trying to stop centuries-old vampires from roaming the streets. George's awakening to the world in the shadows has been a baptism of fire, but this battle will set him on the path to hell, tormented by sin.

As George and Ellena uncover more secrets, facing the danger of a hidden past, their burgeoning relationship is threatened by something so sinister, so dark it scares George to his core. But he won't go down without a fight especially after being given a second chance at love.

About the author

Ryan Holden

My journey as a writer began years ago, kindled by an early fascination with English literature and language, a passion ignited during my GCSE studies. It was the timeless narrative of ‘Of Mice and Men’ that first captured my imagination, leading me down a path forever intertwined with storytelling.
As life unfolded, I explored various passions and embracing the responsibilities of adulthood. I navigated through life’s complexities, finding joy and fulfilment in raising two wonderful sons. Now, as they step into their own journeys, I’ve been graced with the opportunity to revisit my first love: writing.
My ambition is to craft immersive worlds that readers can lose themselves in, worlds where the lines between the supernatural, crime thrillers, and horror blur into an irresistible tapestry of intrigue and character-driven narratives. “Secrets in the Bones,” my fourth novel, marks a significant milestone in my writing career. It represents not just another story but a venture outside my comfort zone, being the first work I’ve presented to agents and publishers.
With a treasure trove of stories waiting to be told, my journey as an author is far from over. I am currently immersed in writing “The Cursed Knights - the Book of the Dead,” a foray deeper into the horror genre. Each new story is an adventure, an opportunity to explore the uncharted realms of imagination, and a chance to connect with readers who share my love for the mysterious and the macabre.
