The Surgeon (2001)

"'Once you've started reading this book, putting it down and saving it till later is not an option. What a ride!"

Darkness Falls (2002)
(Clara Pascal, book 1)
Margaret Murphy
"Just what British crime writing is crying out for - a compassionate, grass roots British novel with the pace, energy and impeccable research of an American thriller."

Blood Eagle (2005)
(Jan Fabel, book 1)
Craig Russell
"A distinctive and exciting new voice in crime fiction... this is gritty, authentic and disturbing stuff."

Everyone Lies (2013)
(DI Kate Simms, book 1)
A D Garrett
"Awesome...What A. D. Garrett doesn't understand about forensic science and its applications isn't worth knowing. Ditto characterisation, plot and pace. A sterling debut."

(Carver and Lake, book 1)
Ashley Dyer
"Compelling, clever. Packed with macabre and fascinating forensic details. A stunning debut."
