The term “Hit Point” refers to a pulse-pounding mix of gripping crime suspense and smoldering romance, where the characters, thirty-something detectives Leo and Bella, find themselves immersed in a perilous criminal network lurking within modern West London.

Delving deeper into mysteries that entwine my personal and work life, I find each unexpected turn bringing more deceit and treachery. With an edge-of-your-seat blend of side-splitting humor and pulse-pounding action, the Hit Point series keeps me on the edge – testing friendships, uncovering shocking secrets, and love proving to be the riskiest game ever played.

Helen Perry, the head of drama commissioning for UKTV, labeled Hit Point as “an exceptional cop show,” and further explained: “Through his unique storytelling, Howard has created a suspenseful crime drama that revolves around an intriguing will-they-won’t they romantic subplot.
