About this listen

A hated outsider. A shocking death. And everyone has a reason for murder....

DCI Harry Grimm is settling into the rhythms of Yorkshire. Though he knows the idyllic rural landscape can hide dark deeds, the methodical investigator trusts his colleagues to guard his back. And it’s easy to keep dodging discussions about the future when he’s called to a crime scene with a body that’s missing both hands.

Identifying the victim as a city property developer who moved to the countryside, Grimm links him to a recent meeting about the affordable housing crisis. And learning the deceased man had angered too many locals to count, the determined detective and his team labor to eliminate an endless list of suspects.

Can Grimm bring the case home, or will the clever killer slip through his fingers?

Dead Man's Hands is the enthralling 15th book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like imposing heroes, fast-paced mysteries, and gruesome theatrics, then you’ll adore David J. Gatward’s grisly clues. Buy Dead Man's Hands to grasp at the truth today!

Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, J. D. Kirk, Adam Croft, Simon McCleave, Alex Smith, J. M. Dalgliesh, J. E. Mayhew, and J. R. Ellis.

I feel like part of the family! I love the characters, the stories and their surroundings!

I've 'read' all the books and love them! If Mr Gatward decides to write 100 Grimm novels, it'll be good by me!

I just love the team!

Another brilliant story, not as gory as some, but written showing the warmth and humour of the Dales people. David brings the characters to life, making them feel like close friends. Aubrey Parsons adds sparkle to those characters, so much that I'm sure I know one or two of the locals.
I can't wait to be transported to Hawes, to walk through the marketplace from the community centre to Cocketts, or up to Pennygarth, admiring a few bikes on the way. I'm just concerned that Wensleydale has become the murder capital of Yorkshire. 😅

Another smasher from David J Gatward

I love this series, it’s like a return to check in with old friends every time a new one is released. Love the narration and the writing in equal measure. Thank you!

Another great addition to the series!

Another great!

Once again an amazing book that had me gripped from the beginning. I love these characters more and more each book. Aubrey does an amazing job on the narration as always, couldn’t imaging anyone else voicing Harry and the gang. David’s ability to describe the scenery is second to none made me fall more in love with the dales. Fabulous book.

No disappointment here.

Binged another one

Love this series and each book tells us more about the lives of the protagonists. On top of this, a strong central storyline.
Brilliantly read as always.

Another strong book

I can't remember how I came across Book 1 - Grimm Up North - but I'm so glad I did, and I've just finished listening to Book 15! You're a fantastic storyteller, Dave - and nobody could narrate them better than Aubrey, who brings every character to life. I'm sure the local businesses in Hawes are enjoying the influx of visitors too - especially the Fountain and Cockett's butchers! Hopefully, Grimmfest will be repeated next year, as I can't make the inaugural event next month. I'm now waiting (im)patiently for Book 16....... I might just have to start over from the beginning!

A superb listen, as always!

The fantastic Harry Grimm I have loved and listened to the whole series which is wonderfully narrated. Just listened to book 15 can’t find another in the series but hope it won’t be the last

Brilliant
