Bringing Out the Dead
(2018)(A book in the Detective Inspector Paul Amos series)
An omnibus of novels by Rodney Hobson
Rodney Hobson's bestselling Detective Paul Amos novels Dead Money, Unlikely Graves, Holy Murder, Kith and Kill and The Hanging Tree are collected together in a single volume.
"Kept me guessing to the last page - and still surprised me. A gripping read." - Robert Foster, best-selling author of The Lunar Code.
Dead Money
Killiney Court is a secure, heavily-guarded and recently refurbished block of luxury flats, home to a host of quiet and respectable tenants in the midst of peaceful Lincolnshire.
But one day the security of the community is shattered.
Ray Jones is horrifically murdered in the middle of the night.
Who killed him? And how?
The block has round-the-clock security, and there are no signs of forced entry.
Detective Inspector Paul Amos believes that can only mean one thing. The murderer must be a resident of Killiney Court.
Unlikely Graves
In the wolds of rural Lincolnshire, a corpse is discovered in a rubbish heap.
It is fifteen years since the man was killed.
Who is he?
And why has the body been found in such an unlikely grave?
Within the space of a few days another brutal murder is committed.
As Detective Paul Amos starts to dig into the case, he quickly discovers that the people of this small Lincolnshire community are not what they seem.
A web of complex family relationships, revenge and dark secrets connect the cases.
Holy Murder
Detective Inspector Paul Amos is just about to head off on his annual holiday when he gets an urgent phone call from Sir Robert Fletcher, the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire police.
A man has been killed in what appears to be an abseiling accident at St Botolph's Church in Lincolnshire.
When Amos arrives on the scene it quickly becomes clear that this was no accident - Simeon's ropes had been cut on purpose.
Simeon was a local hero, rescuing the farmers from ruin, and loved by all.
So why would anyone want him dead?
Was Simeon really the benevolent philanthropist he claimed to be?
Or was he more of a sinner than a saint?
Kith and Kill
Following the death of their father Joseph, the Wilson family gather together to read his will.
But one of the children has been left out.
And then, three days later, eldest son Matthew dies - poisoned at Joseph's wake.
With no-one else in the room at the time of Matthew's poisoning, Detective Paul Amos is convinced that the killer must be one of the family, and discovers that the ties that bind families together can also tear them apart...
The Hanging Tree
It comes as a complete shock when exclusive, middle-aged Duncan Watson is brutally murdered - and then strung up from a tree in his garden...
Detective Inspector Paul Amos is soon on the scene.
He's in luck as the murder victim was the leader of a gang of Sixties eco-warriors who are about to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their siege of threatened Wykeham Hall.
Surprise, surprise, that nothing is what it appears at first sight; that stories conflict.
The Hanging Treeis a gritty murder mystery perfect for fans of Peter James, Peter Robinson and Ian Rankin.
