BOOK 1: DEVIL’S CHIMNEY
On a wild and stormy night on England’s south coast, ambitious young police constables Rutherford Barnes and Harriet Holden are doing the rounds when they see a burglar fleeing the scene of the crime — the location is Harriet’s house. The ground floor is ransacked. Scrawled in red across one wall are the words: DEAD COPS SLEEP LONG. A few days later, Harriet’s battered body is discovered in a shabby seafront hotel. Newly promoted to detective, Barnes vows to discover who killed his partner, and why.
BOOK 2: BEACHY HEAD
Detective Barnes is offered a case no one else wants — a one-punch homicide. The accused is James, a young firefighter. The victim is his girlfriend’s ex, an aggressive alcoholic. James’s acquittal is a sure thing. No jury will convict this good man defending his girlfriend. Then James suddenly disappears just before the jury reach their verdict. The following day a body is found at the foot of Beachy Head. But this was no suicide. Barnes’s case has become something deeper and darker than anyone imagined.
BOOK 3: BURNT OUT SECRETS
For five long years, Detective Barnes has been hunting the killer of the person he loved the most. Now, the one man who could have revealed the truth is dead. His charred and blackened body is all that remains in his burnt-out flat. A week later, a desperate young woman hammers on the door of a late-night convenience store. She’s clearly terrified — and running for her life. Barnes is convinced the two events are connected. But his investigation will stir up dark secrets from his own past.”
