The Ben Cooper & Diane Fry series consists of 19 British crime novels published between 2000 and 2018. The series follows two contrasting police detectives working cases in the Derbyshire Peak District. Black Dog (2000) launched the series, with Dancing with the Virgins (2001), Blood on the Tongue (2002), and Blind to the Bones (2003) establishing the characters and rural setting.
The series maintained a steady publication pace for nearly two decades, with titles like The Dead Place (2005), The Kill Call (2009), The Devil’s Edge (2011), and The Murder Road (2015). The final entries, Secrets of Death (2017), Dead in the Dark (2017), and Fall Down Dead (2018), brought the series to a close after 19 books.
