Rob writes full time, attends various author events across the UK, and boxes regularly for charity.
He spends a lot of time in schools across the North, encouraging literacy, story-telling and creative-writing, and somehow squeezes in time to co-host the For Your Reconsideration film podcast, appear regularly on The Blood Brothers Crime Podcast, and is a member of the Northern Crime Syndicate.

Summary
Two cities, two ruthless criminals, three of the force’s best. One night to end it all.
An Audible exclusive, The only Truly Dead is the ultimate fight against corruption from one of our greatest Northern crime authors, Rob Parker.
The criminal underworld’s power has been gathering, with gangs from two cities that threaten to compromise everything Foley and Madison have fought for. Can these two detective masterminds take on the best of the best? Facing a highly illegal transport plan called The Twilight Express, our partners-in-arms must perform as never before.
The stakes become higher when Foley’s son is kidnapped, and he realises that his corrupt brother is involved. Along with their old colleague, Salix, and an IT whizz kid, they set out to crack this final case against the world’s most vulnerable. Everyone’s careers and families are on the line, after all. But it’s more than that – this is an ultimate fight for justice, played out between Manchester and Liverpool, that will have unpredictable and tragic consequences.
A dramatic Northern story for fans of Happy Valley, narrated by the inimitable Warren Brown.
Critic reviews
"The cherry on top of an immensely satisfying and epic trilogy. Across the three books, Rob Parker has built and broken so many lives that nobody is safe. Superb, sublime and slick action from the first line to the very last." (Robert Rutherford)
"Gritty, real and packing a killer punch. A shocking conclusion to a series that will leave reeling!" (L.C. North)

The finale we deserve
I love everything about this series, and The Only Truly Dead is the finale that readers deserve. Rob Parker has somehow made the final book in the trilogy more hard hitting and brutal than the previous two, with Warren Brown’s narration bringing it to life beautifully. The locations, the characters, and the plot draw you into the story, while the end leaves you feeling as though you were very much a part of the action. An absolutely phenomenal tale!

Brilliant
Rob has done it again. I was addicted after the first, obsessed by the 2nd and infatuated with this book. Helps Warren brown being the narrator. He brings the characters to life. Brilliantly done and the imagination runs wild when listening
