The DCI Isaac Cook Thriller Series: Books 7-12
(2020)(A book in the DCI Cook Thriller series)
An omnibus of novels by Phillip Strang
The DCI Cook Thriller Series - Books 7 to 12 - Six Powerful Stories. Six Edge of Your Seat Thrillers. Six Books at a Discounted Price.
Murder in Room 346 (Book 7) - A Downmarket Hotel. A Moral Campaigner. A woman who had killed her husband. Both Dead. Both Compromised.
On the bed, the naked bodies of a man and a woman. ‘Bullet in the head’s not the way to go,’ Larry Hill, Isaac Cook’s detective inspector, said.
‘Do you recognise him?’ Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook said.
‘James Holden, a proponent of the sanctity of the marital bed, man and wife.’
Murder of a Silent Man (Book 8) - A murdered recluse. A property empire. A disinherited family. All the ingredients for murder.
No one gave much credence to the man when he was alive. In fact, most people never knew who he was, although those who had lived in the area for many years recognised the tired-looking and shabbily-dressed man as he shuffled along, regular as clockwork on Thursday's at seven in the evening to the local off-licence.
Just a harmless eccentric, until the morning when he was found dead in his front garden.
Murder has no Guilt (Book 9) - A mass shooting. An amoral Romanian gangster. A Russian oligarch who claims to be an honest businessman, but isn’t.
No one knows who was the target or why, but there are eight dead. The men seem the most likely, or could have it been one of the two women, the attractive Gillian Dickenson, or even the celebrity-obsessed Sal Maynard?
There’s a gang war brewing, and if there are deaths, they don’t care as long as it’s not one of them. But to Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook, it's his area of London, and he needs to find out who killed the eight.
Murder in Hyde Park (Book 10) - An early-morning jogger is murdered in Hyde Park. It's the centre of London, but no one saw him enter the park, no one saw him die.
He carries no identification, only a water-logged phone. As the pieces unravel, it's clear that the dead man had a history of deception.
Is the murderer one of those that loved him? Or was it someone with a vengeance?
It's proving difficult for DCI Isaac Cook and his team at Challis Street Homicide to find the guilty person - not that they'll cease to search for the truth, not even after one suspect confesses.
Six Years Too Late (Book 11) - Always the same questions for Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook — Why was Marcus Matthews in that room? And why did he share a bottle of wine with his killer?
It wasn’t as if the man had amounted to much in life, apart from the fact that he was the son-in-law of a notorious gangster, the father of the man’s grandchildren.
Yet, one thing that Hamish McIntyre, feared in London for his violence, rated above anything else, it was his family, especially Samantha, his daughter; although he had never cared for Marcus, her husband.
And then Marcus disappears, only for his body to be found six years later by a couple of young boys who decide that exploring an abandoned house is preferable to school.
Grave Passion (Book 12) - Two young lovers out for a night of romance. A short cut through a cemetery. They witness a murder, but there has been no struggle, only a knife to the heart.
It has all the hallmarks of an assassination, but who is the woman?
And why was she alongside a grave at night?
Genre: Mystery
