The Crew

Thrillers Written by a CSI

“Sometimes our prayers are not only ignored, but you can hear someone laughing in the background.”

It’s his last shift of the week, but CSI Eddie Collins is examining the scene of an armed robbery at a Post Office. Everything is going well until he finds one startling piece of evidence that turns him into a target. 

Nelson is part of a professional gang of violent armed robbers who work their way around the country stealing large sums of cash. The gang arrives in Leeds, and Nelson decides to make changes to their successful formula. His plan is falling into place until he leaves behind a vital piece of evidence at their latest job. 

DI Wilbourne is tasked by New Scotland Yard to pursue the gang, to collect and collate the evidence they leave behind. But there’s something strange about him, and it has nothing to do with his dress sense or his nasal hair. 

Shannon is an observer, out with Eddie at a Post Office robbery. She’s about to discover that making the wrong decision can be fatal. 

This is one job where Eddie regrets having a keen eye. 

What people are saying about The Crew

“The Crew - a snapshot of the criminal underclass.”

Michael Wood, best-selling author of the DCI Matilda Darke series

~ I stayed up until 4:00 in the morning reading this because I could not stop.

~ Do yourself a favour and discover why The Crew is a definite "must read."

~ Brilliant and well-crafted as ever.

~ This book has it all, pace, characters, plot and humour. It’s a gem.

~ As usual I thought I knew the ending that was coming along. As usual I was wrong!

~ If you could represent “attitude” by a “thing”, his would be Colombo's old raincoat.

~ I feel like it’s Christmas every time I receive a book from this author. What a treat!

~ If you have not read Barrett’s Eddie Collins series, you will be hooked after reading this short story. If you are already a fan, you will not be disappointed.

~ Another great Eddie Collins story by Andrew Barrett! I can always expect a laugh, an excellent twist and sometimes a cry. I love his stories.

~ I really enjoyed Andy Barrett’s latest fast paced novella, as it drew me in from the very first sentence when Eddie hinted things were not going to be easy.

~ There’s quite a sting in the tail to this book; it’s all about facing the consequences of any decision we make.

~ A very clever read incorporating many CSI procedures with a great story.

~ Andrew skilfully intertwines Eddie, his work, and an attention-grabbing story! A must read.
