Charley Mann left Yorkshire for the Met and a fast-track career - but now she’s back,
she’s in charge and the area’s first young, female DI.
Her hometown, the Yorkshire countryside, and her old friends all seem unchanged but
appearances can be deceptive.
When a brutal murder is discovered, Charley is forced to question everything, and the
interest of her ex - reporter Danny Ray - doesn’t make it easier.
R.C. Bridgestock is the name that husband and wife co-authors Robert (Bob) and Carol Bridgestock write
under.
Between them they have nearly 50 years of police experience, offering an authentic edge to their
stories.
The writing duo created the character DI Jack Dylan, a down-to-earth detective, written with
warmth and humour.
The ninth book in the series will be published by The Dome Press in 2019, along
with their backlist.
A further crime series is presently being scripted by the pair, which has a strong
Yorkshire female character - Charley Mann - at the helm.
Bob was a highly commended career detective of 30 years, retiring at the rank of Detective Superintendent.
During his last three years, he took charge of 26 murders, 23 major incidents, over 50 suspicious deaths and
numerous sexual assaults.
He was also a trained hostage negotiator with suicide interventions, kidnap,
terrorism and extortion.
As a Detective Inspector he spent three years at the internationally acclaimed West Yorkshire Police Force
Training School where he taught Detectives from all over the world in the whole spectrum of investigative
skills and the law.
On promotion to Detective Superintendent, Bob was seconded to a protracted enquiry
investigating alleged police corruption in another force.
He worked on the Yorkshire Ripper and Sarah
Harper murder, and received praise from Crown Court Judges and Chief Constables alike for outstanding
work at all ranks, including winning the much-coveted Dennis Hoban Trophy.
As a police civilian supervisor, Carol also received a Chief Constable’s commendation for outstanding
work.
The couple are the storyline consultants / police procedural on BAFTA-winning BBC1 police drama Happy
Valley and series 3 of ITV’s Scott and Bailey, and are presently working with Scott Free Production
scriptwriters on two commissioned TV drama series.
Carol started and chaired the Wight Fair Writers’ Circle in 2008, along with Bob, where she created an
annual charitable community writing competition to inspire others of all ages.
This event has raised over
£10,000 for Island charities.
The couple pride themselves on being up-to-date on past and present day UK police procedures, and as a
result, Bob is regularly sought by UK television, radio and national and local newspapers for comment on
developing major crime incidents etc.
They have also taken part in BBC Radio 4 (Steve) PUNT P.I.
Together they can regularly be seen as speakers at a variety of events in the literary world and work with
colleges in schools in providing writing seminars and workshops, and they also work with International TV
/ Film make-up artist Pamela Clare, to help inspire her students at the White Rose Colleges.
Eight annual R.C. Bridgestock trophies are annually awarded to students.
Carol and Bob are also patrons and ambassadors for several charities.
