From RR Haywood, the author of the worldwide bestselling Extracted, and The Code trilogies, and the phenomenal Undead Series - DELIO PHASE ONE is a heart-pounding, relentless, often laugh-out-loud blockbuster adventure.

When nearly every person on the planet becomes frozen a small group of survivors must navigate the darkest sides of human behaviour while learning about the creation of the world's first fully self-aware Artificial Intelligence.

In London, Yelena is trapped in a room after being sex-trafficked from Romania, and Alfie has one more drop to make then he's free of drug dealing forever.
In New York, Detective Joe Stephens is working a case. Life has worn him down. He's ready to end it. Poppy is a film-maker desperate to never go back to the UK, and Tripal is a clerk in a 7-Eleven that has a secret.
A secret that might be connected to why every human being on the planet just froze.

Former police officer and international bestselling indie author RR Haywood has crafted one of the most authentic and compelling voices in British crime writing, with an awareness of procedure that is second to none. His unforgettable characters and razor-sharp dialogue bring a raw immediacy to every page, while his use of statements, body-worn video, and interview transcripts in Murder Crime on Gallymay -- drawn from more than two decades of frontline policing -- delivers a realism seldom seen in the genre. Long established as a global name in sci-fi with blockbusters including the ExtractedTrilogy, The Code Trilogy and the acclaimed Delio series, not to mention the UK's bestselling horror-comedy phenomenon The Undead, Haywood now brings that same blistering energy to gritty, grounded British thrillers with Gaslit, Triggered and Murder Crime on Gallymay.
