Detective Paul Rigby's role in his girlfriend's death has haunted him since that tragic event almost one year ago. With his dreams of marriage and a family destroyed, Rigby's guilt now threatens to sabotage the one thing left to him: his once-promising career.

That career would already be in ruins without the intervention of Chief of Police Jim Pearson, but as the anniversary approaches Rigby finds himself increasingly at odds with his mentor.

Demoted to desk duty following a violent confrontation with a colleague, Rigby must prove he is still worthy of Pearson's trust. A manpower crisis within the department offers him a chance of redemption but as repercussions from his punch-up spiral out of control, it seems not everyone wants him to succeed.

The Anniversary is a gripping emotional drama that will keep you turning the pages. If you like flawed characters who don't always get it right, then you'll love Detective Rigby.

A missing pregnant woman. A distraught father-to-be. A desperate plea for help.

Days away from becoming a father, Detective Paul Rigby is already on edge about the birth. The last thing he needs is to be involved in an investigation into a missing pregnant woman. But with the woman being a friend of his girlfriend and a personal plea for help from the woman’s husband, it’s not a case he can turn down–despite the warning from his boss.

But as the initial investigation raises more questions than answers and the case takes an unexpected twist, the lines between personal and professional start to blur and Rigby’s determination to bring the case to a close becomes almost an obsession.

An obsession that could cost him dearly.

Dark-haired and medium-build. That's all the police have to go on in their hunt for the perpetrator of a brutal attack at one of Lewisville County's popular recreational spots.

Joggers on the trail at the time offer them more detail about a solitary runner who fit that description but none knew his name. And the police want to keep it that way. Because the man they're describing appears to be one of their own, Detective Paul Rigby.

Forced to step aside, Rigby is supposed to let his colleagues clear him from suspicion. But Rigby's never been good at stepping aside, especially when it's his future on the line. And now, with a pregnant girlfriend and impending fatherhood, the stakes are higher than ever and he can't be sure all his colleagues believe in his innocence.

A boss near death's door. A rash of serious cases. Can Detective Rigby rise to the challenge?

Never the most popular person in the Lewisville Police Department, he finds himself in charge after his mentor, Police Chief Jim Pearson, is involved in an accident.

All Rigby wants to do is track down the hit-and-run driver, but when Lewisville is rocked by two other major cases in one day, he discovers running the department is a lot more complicated than Pearson makes it look.

Now he has to put aside his go-it-alone attitude and trust his colleagues - many of whom he fears would be happy to see him fail - or risk letting down the one person who's always had his back.

But old habits die hard.

A missing woman. A businessman who knows more than he is prepared to admit. But keeping secrets can be as dangerous as telling a lie.

Relocation to small-town Leyton was supposed to help heal the wounds in Cal Miller's marriage but when detectives turn up at his home investigating the whereabouts of his young assistant Katy the fall-out threatens to tear them open again.

With not only his marriage but also his business reputation at stake, Cal has good reason to keep quiet, or so he thinks until he discovers the depth of Katy's deceptions and the police focus in on him as their prime suspect. With the whole town seemingly turning against him he has to find some way of proving his innocence, but how can he persuade them he's telling the truth when he's already been caught out in a lie?

For over three years kidnap victim Jake Cornish has struggled to put the memories of his ordeal in the Philippines behind him. Not even his wife Beth knows the full truth and he wants to keep it that way.

However, on their first family vacation since returning to the US, a chance sighting of one of his kidnappers inflames his need for closure. But when attempts to learn more about his kidnappers' new lives coincide with a brutal attack on their family, Jake becomes entangled in the ensuing police investigation.

Now, not only have his actions jeopardized his marriage but if his secret is revealed, the police will believe they have the one piece of information they are missing – a motive for revenge.
