The Manchester series consists of two books published in 2017 and 2018. Born Bad and The Cover Up are set in the criminal networks of Manchester, featuring characters navigating a world where family ties and criminal connections are often the same thing.
Riches captures the grittier side of Manchester with authenticity, writing crime fiction that feels rooted in a real place rather than a generic urban backdrop. The duology offers readers a raw, street-level perspective on organized crime in northern England.
