The Manchester Thrillers is Heather Burnside’s most recent crime series, published across 2022 and 2023. The three books — Guilt, Blackmail, and Redemption — each explore a different facet of criminal life in Manchester, with plots driven by moral dilemmas and the pressure that comes from living on the wrong side of the law.
The series shows Burnside’s continued commitment to the Manchester crime fiction she has been writing since her debut. The titles signal the thematic concerns — characters dealing with conscience, coercion, and the possibility of change within a world that doesn’t easily forgive or forget.
