Books Included in This Collection:
Close to Home
Eight-year-old Daisy Mason vanishes at a family party on a quiet street, and the case forces DI Adam Fawley to question how well a suburban world can hide danger. As investigators sift through family dynamics, neighbor surveillance, and long-buried secrets, the truth feels increasingly personal—and elusive. The tension builds with each new lead, painting a portrait of how communities cope with suspicion, fear, and the fragility of trust. This opening novel establishes the series’ signature blend of procedural acuity and intimate human drama, keeping readers turning pages to uncover what really happened that night.

In The Dark
A woman and a child are found locked in a basement room, barely conscious and unable to speak. Without clear identification or a matching missing-person report, the case stumbles through speculation and dead ends. In the face of uncertainty, DI Fawley presses for truth while confronting the unsettling possibility that someone close may be concealing a dangerous secret. The atmosphere is tense and claustrophobic, and the narrative tightens as the clues begin to align—and threaten confidences within a quiet Oxford street.

No Way Out
During the Christmas holidays, two children are rescued from a house fire in North Oxford. The toddler has died, and his sibling fights for life, while the mother and father remain silent. What happened inside that home, and why is the family otherwise unreachable? The investigation probes family history, accountability, and the moral costs of truth-telling. With multiple viewpoints, the pace accelerates as investigators connect fragments of evidence, revealing a disturbing cascade of choices that haunt the case long after the flames die down.

All the Rage
A distressing account from a teenage survivor unfolds—a story she tells that rocks the foundation of trust. A bag over her head, an assault, and a stubborn reluctance to press charges push DI Fawley to weigh evidence, memory, and motive with care. The case echoes past experiences in the detective’s career, while the investigation navigates the complexities of adolescence, trauma, and truth. This fourth installment sharpens the emotional register of the collection and deepens the moral stakes of seeking justice.
