NON-SUSPICIOUS

A DETECTIVE BROOK DEELMAN MYSTERY

Someone is killing British war veterans. Homicide can’t see anything suspicious. In fact, the only person asking questions is a jaded Met detective with breakfast beers on his mind. Shame for the killer… You shouldn’t underestimate Brook Deelman.

Standing between Brook and the truth: a police cover-up, a professional hitman, and a dark secret going back to the final throes of WW2. But what exactly happened in those last days at Stalag IV-B? And why is the past catching up with people now?

In a web of loyalty and betrayal, revenge and redemption, an old police saying has never been truer: Assume nothing. The closer Brook gets to the heart of the conspiracy… the more seismic the twists will become.

PROBABLY DEAD

A DETECTIVE BROOK DEELMAN MYSTERY

Mick Morley has spent nearly three decades searching for his missing daughter. His obsession has cost him his UK police career, and now the South African bar that was his ‘fresh start’ is being robbed at gunpoint… How’s your luck, Mick?

But what if someone else is in the bar that night? A London cop on a career break – name of Brook Deelman. Well, then maybe that changes the odds.

Maybe that could change everything.

Ahead of Brook, a missing person case from the last days of ‘old school’ policing – an age of bloody riots, swinging batons and undercover sources. Those wishing the truth to stay buried will use the full force of the law to keep it that way… Or even just plain force.

A JONBOY FILE IN THE BROOK DEELMAN SERIES

Kosovo. 2004. When five years of fragile peace collapses, a Royal Military Police investigator is sent to explore the unrest. The fact-finding mission should be straightforward, but Corporal ‘Jonboy’ Davies soon senses something else going on beneath the surface. Something that has got one of his UN overseers very twitchy about what he might find.

Assisted by interpreter Anna and a team of Gurkhas, the Redcap must decide how much he is willing to risk. For the truth will be lurking in the darkest of places – both of a war-torn land and the human psyche.

And its repercussions will stretch all the way to the present…

UNAUTHORISED

A DETECTIVE BROOK DEELMAN MYSTERY

Justice… Such a subjective thing.

A UN worker intent on revolution, a serial killer bent on revenge, and, between the two, an increasingly disillusioned Met detective. All have their own ideas of what justice should look like – even if DC Brook Deelman was only hoping for a quiet pint when events intervened.

Now, three people with very different goals are on a collision course in London. A situation that will hit closer to home than anything Brook has ever known.

When the stakes are high enough, people will go to great lengths to see their version of justice triumph.

Within the law or outside it.

Authorised… or unauthorised.

OPERATION ECHO

A DETECTIVE BROOK DEELMAN MYSTERY

And when a certain ex-deputy commissioner doubts the backstory of a member of his London club, it’s Brook’s new detective agency he turns to.

Now, seven years after the events of Non-Suspicious, Brook and some old friends must dig into the past once again – answers lurking in a Cold War era of secrets and shadows, patriots and traitors…

The truth is always out there somewhere.

But finding it could be the very last thing you do.
