Overview:
Discover the complete six-part DC Jake Tanner investigation, crafted entirely by Jack Probyn. This paperback series follows a determined detective thrust into the dangerous criminal networks of Surrey and East London. Each instalment delivers a focused police procedural filled with tense interrogations, hidden evidence, and shifting allegiances. Buying the full set ensures you experience the entire escalating arc without waiting for separate deliveries. You gain a seamless reading journey that tracks how corruption spreads, how shortcuts create chaos, and how one officer refuses to look away when the truth gets complicated.
What Makes This Collection Special:
These novels are tightly threaded through a single investigation thread rather than feeling like standalone cases you must jump into cold. Every book builds upon the last while keeping the action firmly locked on modern policing, local gang dynamics, and administrative failures. The pacing never drags, and the plot holes remain scarce because each mystery feeds directly into the next. You get a rewarding binge-read experience where every solved clue opens a wider door, pushing you straight back to the page for another chapter.
Books Included in This Collection:
Toe the Line
Tanner races against time to rescue a shop owner while exposing deep deceit within his own force. He must choose between rigid duty and the messy reality of betrayal. The confrontation forces him to weigh personal safety against the integrity of an organisation he swore to protect.
Walk the Line
A brutal gallery murder leaves a chilling message carved into the victim. Still recovering from previous trauma, Tanner pieces together gruesome clues that point toward a targeted revenge killing. The next disappearance quickly proves this was just the opening strike.
Under the Line
Tanner targets a known suspect early, only to watch the case fracture under massive financial pressure. He soon realises the conspirators operate far beyond street level. The money trail pulls him deeper into a system built on silent transactions and guarded records.
Cross the Line
East London’s dominant drug kingpin sits atop an untouchable empire until a rival’s scorched remains send a bloody warning. Tanner knows he cannot dismantle this network alone. He faces a shadowy cabal of compromised officers who actively hunt him and his loved ones.
Over the Line
Months after locking away the major distributor, Tanner’s life collapses when a devastating fraud wipes his savings. Cut off from official support and suddenly broke, he dives into a ruthless human trafficking ring hidden across the borough. Survival demands digging where no badge will follow.
Past the Line
With the corrupt syndicate supposedly dismantled, a high-profile lawyer murders surface anyway. Tanner watches the same old strings pull the same old ropes. He recognises that destruction was only temporary, forcing him to prepare for a final, exhausting showdown.
