Steve Flynn is Nick Oldham’s other crime fiction protagonist — an ex-Lancashire detective who traded police work for running boats. The three novels published in 2016 and 2017 follow Flynn as his maritime career keeps intersecting with serious criminal activity. He has the investigative instincts of a former cop but none of the institutional support, which raises the stakes.

The trilogy moves from Onslaught through Ambush to Headhunter at a brisk pace. Flynn exists in the same world as Henry Christie, and readers of both series will notice connections between the two characters’ orbits in Lancashire’s criminal landscape.
