​CJ  NICKS

Author  of  the  Barrington  Bay  Series

Remy Lane trades in Hollywood's phony film industry for the weathered ruins of England, unearthing the sale of stolen antiquities hidden beneath homicide. 

The Barrington Bay series features mysteries and murders surrounding a harbor village in northern Cumbria. Join Remy Lane as she strives to solve cozy conundrums and heinous whodunits alongside Inspector Wm. Tremaine, PC Albright, and members of a tight-knit community set against rural pastures, historical ruins, and the unforgiving sea.

The first book of this series, The Stars Prevail​, unveils a mystery set along the precipitous northwestern edge of England. An amateur American sleuth, a vested detective inspector, and a cast of curious residents take us on a coastal tour—past the Solway Firth, along Hadrian’s Wall, and down the twisted lanes of a village—that somehow lands us among smugglers of illicit antiquities.

The second novel, The Tide Turns, expands upon the villagers' relationships when one of their own is murdered on a nearby island. Throughout both novels, people are bound together by their history and a new need to adapt in an ever-changing world as tourists discover and devour their quaint countryside.

The third book, The Sheltering Stones, continues the Barrington Bay book series when a murder is linked to cultural antiquities taken by missionaries in the 1950s and '60s to be housed in a seminary museum. While the number of seminarians has dwindled over time, the value of the illicit antiquities has only increased. Are they worth killing for?
