Baltimore Blood — The Wells & Riley Crime Thriller Series (Book 1) A gritty, atmospheric crime thriller where two detectives uncover the darkness that Baltimore hides — and makes.

Baltimore doesn’t sleep. It waits. In the alleys where streetlights flicker like dying stars, a young woman is found dead — unnamed, brutalised, and left as a message.
Captain Dirk Wells, instinct‑driven and relentless, and Detective Shelley Riley, methodical and precise, are pulled into a case that tears open the city’s underbelly. A killer has vanished into the cracks of Baltimore’s darkest corners, leaving nothing but blood and questions behind.
As the investigation deepens, Wells and Riley uncover a web of organised crime, corruption, and secrets that stretch far beyond one murder. Every lead drags them closer to a truth that could destroy them both — because Baltimore doesn’t just hide its monsters. It makes them.
Baltimore Blood is the first book in The Wells & Riley Crime Thriller Series — a tense, character‑driven story of loyalty, obsession, and justice in a city that never forgives.
