We are a virtual collective of six crime writers from the North of England whose work has been highly praised by both readers and reviewers. To date we’ve gained 23 prizes – including CWA Daggers (we have TWO Diamond Dagger winners among our members!), Edgars, Macavitys, Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, RTS and Agatha Awards as well as honorary degrees.

Many Deadly Returns
To mark our 21st anniversary, we published a new anthology, MANY DEADLY RETURNS: 21 stories celebrating 21 years of Murder Squad. To showcase the release, all six members of Murder Squad were interviewed by Barbara Peters at The Poisoned Pen Bookstore
The Audible version of MANY DEADLY RETURNS was released in December 2021, and there are plans for co-narrator, Janine Birkett, together with fellow actors at Border Readers, to bring dramatic readings of the stories to libraries in 2022. Watch this space!
