The DCI Robert Kett Crime Thrillers: Books 1-3
(2020)(A book in the DCI Kett Crime Thrillers series)
An omnibus of novels by Alex Smith
Fast paced, gripping and truly unputdownable, the internationally bestselling British crime series is available for the first time as a great value box set.
PAPER GIRLS
The one case he couldn't crack was the one that finally broke him.
Haunted by his inability to track down and save his missing wife, DCI Robert Kett leaves the Metropolitan Police behind and moves to Norwich with his three young children, hoping to heal their broken family.
But his newfound peace doesn’t last. Two newspaper delivery girls have gone missing in the city, and the clues point to a serial kidnapper.
Kett is dragged into the centre of one of the darkest cases of his career — a case that pits him head to head against a horrifying evil.
And a case that might uncover the terrible truth of what happened to his wife.
BAD DOG
Some legends can kill you.
When a young woman is brutally murdered in the Norfolk countryside, the locals blame Black Shuck—a legendary wild dog.
There’s only one problem: the wounds weren’t made by an animal.
DCI Robert Kett is battling a black dog of his own. With his wife still missing, and the injuries from his last case leaving him in constant pain, everything seems impossible—not least looking after his three young children.
But when a second body appears, even bloodier than the last, Kett finds himself on a hunt for one of the most ruthless serial killers the country has ever seen.
A killer who may be hunting him too.
THREE LITTLE PIGS
He will find the truth. Even if it kills him.
Five months ago, DCI Robert Kett’s wife Billie was snatched from a London street.
Five months of no leads, no evidence, and no suspects.
Until now.
When a routine police search uncovers a chamber of horrors beneath one of the city’s most expensive houses, detectives find a clue that points to Billie’s fate, and to the identity of her kidnapper—an enigmatic killer known as the Pig Man.
Desperate for closure, and still reeling from his last investigation, Kett returns to London for his most personal and most dangerous case yet—a case that pits him against a terrifying evil.
He doesn’t know if Billie is alive or dead. He doesn’t know if he’s too late to save her. All he knows is that he swore he’d go to hell and back to find out what happened.
And now, he's about to.
Grab the first three novels in this action packed mystery series, and begin your journey into one of the most entertaining and exciting worlds in UK crime fiction.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The perfect mix of blisteringly fast action, gripping mystery, warm and welcome humour and immense satisfaction at the climax. Kett is unlike any fictional detective we've met before: part Jack Reacher, part John Rebus, and simply unforgettable." Thrilling Fiction
Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest books, the DCI Robert Kett thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between he has published twelve other novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the number one bestselling series Escape From Furnace, which is loved by millions of readers worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.
