The Jimmy Mullen trilogy by Trevor Wood follows a homeless former Navy veteran living rough in Newcastle who becomes an accidental detective. The Man on the Street (2020) starts when Jimmy witnesses what may be a murder by the River Tyne and decides to investigate despite having no resources, no home, and a shaky grip on reality due to PTSD.
One Way Street (2021) and Dead End Street (2022) continue Jimmy’s story as he gets pulled into more cases while struggling with life on the streets. The trilogy has been praised for its authentic depiction of homelessness and its deeply human protagonist.
