Dark British crime thrillers
Flesch & Stone
Two damaged investigators. One increasingly dangerous partnership.
Sarah Stone and Richard Flesch hunt killers who turn murder into obsession, spectacle and control. Each case stands on its own while their volatile partnership develops across the series.
The partnership
Dark cases. Difficult people.
Sarah Stone and Richard Flesch investigate some of the country’s most disturbing killers.
Stone brings discipline, resilience and a soldier’s instinct for danger. Flesch brings an extraordinary understanding of criminal behaviour — along with a past that makes him almost as unsettling as the people they hunt.
Together they form an effective, uncomfortable partnership built for cases that ordinary investigators struggle to understand.
