Police detectives form the bedrock of the crime novel. Meet four of the best.
In Acts of Malice, the latest in Alex Gray’s hugely popular Lorimer series, rivalries and ambition lead to the death of a wealthy actor. DS Max Craigie hunts the killer who’s committed the perfect crime in Neil Lancaster’s bone-chilling When Shadows Fall. Hostage negotiators must use all their skills to keep guests and themselves alive in the edge-of-your-seat thriller The Castle by John Sutherland. A Case of Matricide is the concluding part of Graeme Macrae Burnet’s wonderful Chief Inspector Gorski trilogy set in smalltown France.
