Improving the Silence
Peter Turnbull
A brilliant stand-alone novel - dark, gritty, and compelling - marking a new departure for the author.
When a body is discovered in a rough grave, deep in the woods, the police find that it is of one of their young undercover officers - who died nearly thirty years ago. As their inquiries from slender clues progress, it becomes clear that they are also uncovering a sordid tale of corruption and murder within their own ranks.

DCI Hennessey and DS Yellich are soon on the hunt for a ruthless killer.

A Hennessey and Yellich Mystery.
When a woman's body is found frozen on a bench one winter's morning, it looks like a simple case of death by misadventure.

Deep Cover
A Harry Vicary Mystery - the second novel in a brand-new crime series set in London - from the author of the Hennessey and Yellich mysteries.
When the snow thaws on London's Hampstead Heath after a harsh winter, a ghoulish discovery is made that marks the start of a very dangerous case for Detective Inspector Harry Vicary and his team. A body of a man is found on top of a shallow grave containing the battered remains of a young woman. He appears to have frozen to death - but what is his connection to the remains below?
Aftermath
The latest Hennessey and Yellich mystery.
When five corpses in various states of decomposition are found chained to the walls of a kitchen garden, Hennessey and Yellich quickly begin their investigation. The recently deceased owner of the house was housebound for the last twenty-five years, and so would have had no idea of the appalling crimes taking place yards away. At first, there doesn't seem to be much to go on - the victims appear to have little in common - but Hennessey and Yellich know that the dead must hold the clues they need.
