The Dead Trilogy
(2020)(A book in the SOCO Roger Conniston series)
An omnibus of novels by Andrew Barrett
The complete best-selling collection of The Dead Trilogy, featuring SOCO Roger Conniston. 1500 pages of killer action and suspense that lead to a 'fast-paced and thrilling climax'.
A Long Time Dead. Everyone trusts Roger. He's got an honest face... for a killer.
Two dead women. All the evidence points to Scenes of Crime Officer, Roger Conniston. The real killer uses Roger's sordid secrets against him until no one believes he is innocent. He's about to lose his job, his wife, and his freedom. But the killer wants it all; the killer wants Roger's life too, and time is running out.
Stealing Elgar.
No one can question Roger's loyalty. Except those he won't give it to.
Scenes of Crime Officer, Roger Conniston, ventures out alone to find his wife. He doesn't trust the police anymore, and he despises the man who kidnapped her.
Hades is a brutal killer who is planning Britain's largest robbery, and needs Roger's compliance.
When he found out that she was literally sitting on a bomb, Roger's compliance turns to fury.
But will his fury get him there in time?
No More Tears.
Roger is about to pull the trigger. And then decides to forgive himself.
SOCO Roger Conniston's fury hasn't subsided, and he selects a name from a list of Hades' ex-gang members. That name is Jess.
A few miles away, a killer reads a name on a letter. That name is Roger Conniston, and that killer is Jess.
But someone even closer has a mind for vengeance, and he wants them both dead.
When fighting a killer becomes a battle for revenge - this is No More Tears

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE DEAD TRILOGY:
A Long Time Dead:
The ending was nerve racking
So real that I was holding my breath
I loved this book - so different from a normal police detective thriller
Be warned, they are so well written and pacey that you will be burning the midnight oil
I skipped a party to stay home and finish this book
An intoxicating mix that floods over the reader
Stealing Elgar:
The writing is powerful, the dialogue gritty and uncompromising
He seems to have the complete package - the expertise in his field, the great imagination to weave a story together and the ability to write it all in a compelling and enthralling way
You know how some books have slow parts while the author builds up to something happening? Well, you won't get that in this book. There is no let-up in the pace. It's an emotional roller coaster and I was exhausted by the time I finished reading it
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. In fact, I thought it was brilliant
I found it a real page turner and spent many nights reading until 2 or 3am because I didn't want to put it down.
No More tears:
Dark and relentless, a thrilling climax to the series
I have seldom read such an exciting and fast paced trilogy.
This trilogy had it all; emotion, excitement, blood and gore, humour (just a little), great characters and a brilliant plot
Andrew Barrett's writing weaves fiction with elements of reality that make for an immersive read in a world that feels very alive and real
Genre: Mystery
