They found what was hidden. Now they have to get out alive.
Hale isn’t the kind of man who lets loose ends walk away. Chapter 5 is where it all comes to a head — fists, shadows, and one very well-timed revolver.
Chapter 5 drops Tuesday 22nd September. Or SUBSCRIBE get it earlier!!! Don’t look away.
You’re standing in a city that never really sleeps—it smolders. Streetlights blur in the fog, jazz leaks from half-shuttered doors, and somewhere a lie is about to crack wide open.
In the Leila Voss detective series, a sharp-eyed private investigator threads her way through smoke-filled bars and backroom deals, where every whispered name and crumpled matchbook could change everything.
If you like your mysteries laced with jazz, danger, and a heroine who never looks away from the dark, you’re in the right place. As the author, I’d like to invite you to step into her world from the very first spark—start with the Prologue and let that first cigarette ember pull you into the shadows… just don’t expect to come back out the same.
Lock your doors and press play—our new detective mystery podcast is about to pull you into a world of shadowy clues, double-crosses, and twists you won’t see coming. The first case drops soon, and every Thursday after that a new episode will have you suspecting everyone and trusting no one. Are you ready to solve what others can’t?
If you’re staring at a blinking cursor and wondering where your words went, you’re not alone—and there’s nothing “wrong” with you as a writer. Writer’s block usually means your creative brain is asking for a gentler approach, not giving up on you. Try lowering the pressure: write a messy sentence on purpose, talk your ideas out loud into a voice note, or give yourself permission to write badly for five minutes and stop. Often, once you’ve broken the ice, your words will quietly start to follow. Be kind to yourself in the in-between; your voice hasn’t disappeared, it’s just catching its breath—and it will come back when it’s ready, especially if you meet it with patience instead of judgment.
On this quiet Sunday, consider this your gentle permission slip to step away from the page for a while. Your writing doesn’t disappear when you close the notebook or shut the laptop; it simply moves underground, where ideas can breathe and connect in ways they can’t when you’re pushing so hard. Rest isn’t you “falling behind” — it’s part of the work, the soft place where your creative voice recovers its warmth and curiosity. So make some tea, take a walk, let your mind wander. The words will be there when you come back, often clearer and kinder than before.
Leila, Josh and Pete are deeper underground than they should be — and they’re not alone.
Chapter 4 brings the tension to breaking point. Secrets buried beneath the city are about to surface, whether anyone is ready or not.
Chapter 4 drops Tuesday 16th September. Or SUBSCRIBE to get early access, which will be Saturday 12th September!!
Be ready.
Tomorrow night, when the clock hits Thursday and the city slips into shadows, a brand-new episode drops—packed with fresh clues, whispered confessions, and twists you won’t see coming; keep your headphones close, because this mystery is about to get loud.
Victorian Glasgow doesn’t sleep. Neither does Leila Voss. Every alleyway whispers, every gas lamp hides a face you shouldn’t trust, and somewhere in the fog another case is about to break.

Chapter 3 drops Tuesday 8th September. Don’t miss it.
Every writer knows the feeling — the blank page staring back, the cursor blinking like it’s judging you. But here’s the truth nobody tells you enough: you don’t have to write perfectly today, you just have to write something.
The best chapters, the best stories, the best sentences you’ll ever put down didn’t arrive fully formed — they started messy, uncertain, and a little bit brave.
So make the tea, open the notebook, write the bad first draft. It’s not wasted time, it’s the work. You’ve got a story worth telling. Don’t let the blank page convince you otherwise.
