IN THIS BOX SET:
BOOK 1: SHATTERED CLUES
1868, England. A man’s body is found outside a notorious gambling den — his skull smashed in. Nobody knows who he is. Inspector Drewes knows this isn’t the work of the gamblers inside, but the killer has covered his tracks well. With no possible leads, the case is going nowhere. But then one of his friend’s brothers is found murdered, his head battered in the same way. Has Drewes got a serial killer to catch?
BOOK 2: DEAD ENDS
Inspector Drewes is put in charge of a fraud case at the County’s railway company. He expects a dull financial crime. But when the company’s foreman is discovered stabbed in the throat, Drewes is thrown into a complex web of murder and deceit. The dead man was widely disliked, but who hated him enough to kill? Drewes must work fast to solve the case. But as he gets closer to the truth, he realises the killer might be the most dangerous he’s ever encountered . . .
BOOK 3: HIS LAST CONFESSION
Petty thief, Harry Parkes, makes a shocking death-bed claim. A prominent figure has confessed to a killing, but Parkes won’t name him. Inspector Drewes dismisses it at first. But then finds three murders and a flurry of thefts that are still unsolved. With just Parkes’ testimony to go on, the case is at a dead end. But when Drewes finds himself the target of the criminal, he unearths the lead he’s been waiting for. And will stop at nothing to uncover the killer.
MEET INSPECTOR DREWES
Inspector Drewes is a clever man with a slightly offbeat approach to crime-fighting. He prefers to engage his mind in a perplexing crime rather than simple open-and-shut case. Drewes uses his quick wit and logic to analyse to ensure that justice always triumphs.
