Publisher's summary

You can bury the bodies, but you can’t hide the truth.

When a landslip on Pembrokeshire’s stunning coastal path reveals the harrowing remains of two bodies, ex-DCI Evan Warlow’s quiet retirement is shattered.

As the original investigator for the two missing persons eight years before, Evan is recalled to help with what is now a murder inquiry. But as the killer scrambles to cover up the truth, the body count rises.

Working with a new young team, Warlow peels away the layers to reveal the dark and rotten heart that beats beneath the chocolate box tranquillity of an area renowned for its quiet beauty.

But does he still have what it takes to root out the monstrous truth before all hell lets loose?

The Engine House is the gripping debut crime thriller set in the heart of wild Wales from author Rhys Dylan. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk. JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave. Celtic noir with a spatter of dark humour.

I love the Wale’s coastline and spirit of the Welsh people, plus an excellent, unanticipated story & ending.

Captivating!

This was such an exciting book! I can’t wait for the next one. The narrators voice was on point. He was one of the best I’ve heard to date on Audible. I really enjoyed this one.

Quite a surprise

I wasn’t sure what to expect. The story was interesting, the characters were developing well, and the Welsh narration was an added plus. I look forward to the next book.
