Twenty Five Modern Day Mysteries from Whitby and the North Yorkshire Moors, is an atmospheric collection of mystery stories inspired by the landscapes, history and communities of North Yorkshire.
Set in and around Whitby, Rosedale, Chop Gate and the surrounding moorland, the collection explores contemporary crimes, disappearances, unexplained events and long-hidden secrets. Each mystery draws upon the region's rich heritage, including its mining communities, coastal smuggling traditions, isolated villages and enduring local legends.
The stories honour the men and women who lived and worked in difficult conditions, particularly those connected to the mines, while also reflecting the danger and ingenuity of the smugglers who once travelled across the coast and moors.
