The DCI Isaac Cook Thriller Series: Books 7-9
(2019)(A book in the DCI Cook Thriller series)
An omnibus of novels by Phillip Strang
Three Powerful Stories. Three Edge of Your Seat Thrillers. Three Books at a Discounted Price.
Murder in Room 346 (Book 7) - A Downmarket Hotel. A Moral Campaigner. A woman who had killed her husband. Both Dead. Both Compromised.
On the bed, the naked bodies of a man and a woman. 'Bullet in the head's not the way to go,' Larry Hill, Isaac Cook's detective inspector, said.
'You know this will be all over the media within the hour,' Isaac Cook said.
'James Holden, a proponent of the sanctity of the marital bed, man and wife. It's bound to be.'
Murder of a Silent Man (Book 8) - A murdered recluse. A property empire. A disinherited family. All the ingredients for murder.
No one gave much credence to the man when he was alive. In fact, most people never knew who he was, although those who had lived in the area for many years recognised the tired-looking and shabbily-dressed man as he shuffled along, regular as clockwork on Thursday's at seven in the evening to the local off-licence.
It was always the same: a bottle of whisky, premium brand, and a packet of cigarettes. He paid his money over the counter, took hold of his plastic bag containing his purchases, and then walked back down the road with the same rhythmic shuffle. He said not one word to anyone on the street or in the shop.
Apart from the three-storey mansion where he lived, one of the best residences on one of the best streets in London, with its windows permanently shuttered, no one would have regarded him as any other than homeless and destitute. Just a harmless eccentric, until the morning when he was found dead in his front garden.
Murder has no Guilt (Book 9) - A mass shooting. An amoral Romanian gangster. A Russian oligarch who claims to be an honest businessman, but isn't.
No one knows who was the target or why, but there are eight dead. The men seem the most likely, or could have it been one of the two women, the attractive Gillian Dickenson, or even the celebrity-obsessed Sal Maynard?
There's a gang war brewing, and if there are deaths, they don't care as long as it's not one of them. But to Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook, it's his area of London, and he needs to find out who killed the eight.
Genre: Mystery
