These best-selling, character-driven detective mysteries are perfect for fans of Reginald Hill, J.R. Ellis, Stuart Pawson, Roger Silverwood and J M Dalgliesh. MEET YOUR DETECTIVES DS David Slater is a youngish (not quite forty, thank you!) copper who knows his quiet corner of Hampshire like the back of his hand. With a brooding charm and a penchant for breaking the rules, Slater’s quick with a quip and quicker with a punch, and he’s never met a problem he couldn’t confront head-on . . . even if it means stepping on a few toes. A botched police operation and subsequent suspension haven’t slowed him down — he's itching to get back in the game. But when he's handed a cold case, he quickly realizes that things aren’t as straightforward as they seem. Enter DS Norman Norman — so good they named him twice. A bit shabby and not one for the gym, Norman is no one’s idea of a ‘top cop’. But what he lacks in fitness, he more than makes up for with hard-won experience and crime-solving nous. Norman is assigned to Slater to give them both a fresh start. He's the brains to Slater’s brawn, the calm to his storm, and the steady hand that keeps their investigations on track. Always thinking three moves ahead, if anyone can drag Slater from the edge, it’s Norman. It’s a partnership Slater never saw coming — but weirdly, it works. Prepare for a crime-fighting duo who dive headfirst into chaotic cases full of shocking twists, where every clue could blow up in their faces, and the truth is just as messy as Slater’s hair.
