‘Well-calibrated crime, with textbook plotting and execution. Unmistakably authentic.’ Literary Review

Fans of Peter Robinson, Ian Rankin and Peter James will relish these cunning British police procedurals.

IN THIS EIGHT-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: LEAD ME TO THE SLAUGHTER
Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox is pursuing five villains and their loot from a van heist. They find the loot . . . and a body in a shallow grave. The disappearance of a reverend, a trail of closed bank accounts and a host of stolen identities further muddy the investigations. Fox’s Flying Squad must untangle the web to find the truth.

BOOK 2: THE LAUNDRY MAN
A policeman is shot in a bank robbery. Fox is convinced it’s the work of money launderer, Danny Horsfall. But Horsfall is careful to cover his tracks. Fox and his team must crack through a trail of drug pushers, crooked art dealers and prostitutes to bring the laundry man to justice.

BOOK 3: TOMFOOLERY
A cache of priceless jewellery is stolen from an upmarket London hotel. All Fox’s leads are dead ends until his team find a link with a missing person enquiry. A man with multiple identities and relationships is the likely villain. The Flying Squad must hunt through a maze of dodgy characters to get to the truth.

BOOK 4: SNOWDROP
Two mutilated corpses are discovered in a car on the motorway hard shoulder. White powder is found in the boot. Fox knows a drug smuggling ring when he sees one. A large and organised one at that — but this time, something clearly went very wrong . . .

BOOK 5: THE TAMING OF TANGO HARRIS
A prostitute is murdered in a fashionable London hotel. Hours later a lorry is hijacked, and then the body of a criminal is found in a car boot nearby. Fox believes the crimes bear the hallmarks of gang leader Tango Harris, but Harris is always one step ahead him. He must find the link to solve the crimes.

BOOK 6: UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES
Thieves find a strangled woman on the floor of their lock-up. The Flying Squad’s simple robbery case is now a murder investigation. Fox’s unorthodox way of working is put under internal scrutiny as he seeks the link between robbery and murder. Can he overcome false leads to uncover the murderer?

BOOK 7: ROUGH DIAMONDS
A diamond thief is shot dead in a taxi. Days later, another diamond thief is murdered. Fox’s investigations reveal a link with an unsolved murder five years ago. But his attempts to trap the killer by using his new girlfriend as bait go disastrously wrong.

BOOK 8: BLUE MURDER
Tommy Fox is promoted to commander of the International and Organised Crime branch at London’s CID. A scandalous case lands on his desk within seconds — a British businessman and two female companions have been shot dead in Cyprus. It looks like a drug deal gone wrong, but the male victim had a sideline in pornography. Fox must wade through the murky world of vice to get answers.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Thomas Fox is not your usual Detective Chief Superintendent. Happier in the field than stuck behind a desk, Tommy Fox is a hard-nosed, old-school detective, with a dry wit and sharp eye. His snappy dress and rich cockney accent lead colleagues and criminals to underestimate him. They’re making a big mistake.

He spent most of his service with the CID at Scotland Yard and was Personal Protection Officer to Prime Ministers Harold Wilson and Edward Heath.

The highly acclaimed ‘Cruel Sea’ is one of the all time great naval and war thrillers. The film was a smash hit when released and both it and the book continue to enjoy undiminshed popularity. It covers not just the details of the battle, but deals with the people who fought it – their domestic triumphs, tragedies, worries and ambitions. Nicholas Monsarrat wrote:’This is the story – the long and true story – of one ocean, two ships, and about a hundred and fifty men. It is a long story because it deals with a long and brutal battle, the worst of any war. It has two ships because one was sunk, and had to be replaced. It has a hundred and fifty men because that is a manageable number of people to tell a story about. Above all, it is a true story because that is the only kind worth telling.First, the ocean, the steep Atlantic stream. The map will tell you what that looks like: three-cornered, three thousand miles across and a thousand fathoms deep, bounded by the European coastline and half of Africa, and the vast American continent on the other side: open at the top, like a champagne glass, and at the bottom, like a municipal rubbish dumper. What the map will not tell you is the strength and fury of that ocean, its moods, its violence, its gentle balm, its treachery: what men can do with it, and what it can do with men. But this story will tell you all that.Then the ship, the first of the two, the doomed one. At the moment she seems far from doomed: she is new, untried, lying in a river that lacks the tang of salt water, waiting for the men to man her. She is a corvette, a new type of escort ship, an experiment designed to meet a desperate situation still over the horizon. She is brand new; the time is November 1939; her name is HMS Compass Rose.Lastly, the men, the hundred and fifty men. They come on the stage in twos and threes: some are early, some are late, some, like this pretty ship, are doomed. When they are all assembled, they are a company of sailors. They have women, at least a hundred and fifty women, loving them, or tied to them, or glad to see the last of them as they go to war.But the men are the stars of this story. The only heroines are the ships: and the only villain the cruel sea itself.’
