Step Inside the Inner Circle - A New Chapter Begins

Today marks the launch of something I’ve been quietly building behind the scenes. A space where readers can go deeper into the world of DI Matthew Goodwin. Not just the books, but the emotional fallout, the redacted files, and the cases that never made it to print.

Case file delivered when you sign up

When you sign up to my newsletter, you’re not just joining a mailing list. You’re stepping into Goodwin’s personal archive.

The first drop? A classified case file from just before he went to Thailand, why he went to Thailand. Complete with deleted chapters, a fatal crash report and internal annotations that hint at the emotional fractures behind the badge. It’s immersive, raw, and designed to feel like something you weren’t meant to see.

This file isn’t in Thai Die. It’s what came before.

And it’s just the beginning.

Over time, subscribers will receive exclusive short stories from Goodwin's archives and from colleagues around the world, recovered voice notes and reader-only mysteries that expand the world of Goodwin in unexpected ways. You’ll be part of the inner circle, invited to crack codes, submit theories, and uncover the threads that connect past and present.

If you love crime fiction with emotional depth, fractured loyalties and slow-burning suspense, this is for you.
