If you like fast-paced UK police procedurals, compelling characters, and shocking twists, then you'll love LAST TAKE. Perfect for fans of JM Dalgleish, LJ Ross and J.D. Kirk.

A celebrity missing. A film set full of secrets. A detective with everything to lose.

DI Ryan Hale thought trading the mean streets of London for Derbyshire would mean straightforward cases and quieter nights. After all, he's got his own secret case to solve.

But he was wrong.

When a problematic A-list actor, goes missing from the studio lot of a prestige fantasy TV show filming in the Peak District, Ryan and his team are thrust into the cut-throat world of Hollywood egos, studio politics, and artfully constructed lies.

Everyone has a motive. The co-star he wanted fired, the women he harassed, the costume designer with a secret, and the producer losing millions due to his toxic behaviour.

But before Ryan can separate fact from fiction, the bodies start to drop.

There's someone on set who'll kill to keep their secret.

As the studio obstructs his investigation and pressure mounts from above, Ryan must navigate a maze of hidden agendas and false truths. Meanwhile, a new unauthorised investigation into a decade-old cold case threatens to derail everything, and cost him his career.

With his team in the line of fire and time running out, Ryan faces an impossible choice. Follow the rules, or catch a killer before they strike again.
