Simon Beckett recommends
Last Stop Tokyo (2017)
James Buckler
"A vivid and noirish tale of an Englishman abroad discovering that you can run from everything but yourself. James Buckler is one to watch."
Blue Light Yokohama (2017)
(Inspector Iwata, book 1)
Nicolás Obregón
"With its Japanese setting and characters, Blue Light Yokohama offers up a bold and refreshingly different take on the serial killer tale."
Kill and Tell (2013)
(D.I. Staffe, book 5)
Adam Creed
"Creed writes with a gritty realism that doesn't let go."
Control (2010)
(Reuben Maitland, book 4)
John Macken
"Cutting-edge forensics, an all-too human hero and a nightmarish scenario: Control is one you won't put down."
