The Natalie Campbell Series: Books 1-3
(2023)(A book in the Sergeant Natalie Campbell series)
An omnibus of novels by Phillip Strang
Dark Streets (Book 1) - A homeless man, Old Joe's death was not unexpected. Not until it was found to be murder.
This was Darlinghurst Road, Kings Cross, once a hub of inequity, of strip joints and gentleman's clubs, of licensed premises and restaurants. But now, the area is changing, going upmarket, another enclave for those that can afford it, not a place for the homeless, nor is it a place of murder, but then, another murder in Point Piper, upmarket and exclusive, a woman, her throat cut.
Detective Gary Haddock's a seasoned hand in Homicide, but he's baffled by the murders. Statistically, Sydney's Eastern Suburbs rarely has a murder, but after four, are they serial or random, and if they are, why?
Sergeant Natalie Campbell from Kings Cross Police Station is wet behind the ears when she pairs with Haddock, but she soon learns that she is more astute than the man, although she's a risk taker. He has to protect her, but she will take the investigations forward.
Pinchgut (Book 2) - An Old Fort in Sydney Harbour – The body of a woman missing for seventeen years. It’s murder, but after so long, can it be solved?
Sergeant Natalie Campbell and Inspector Haddock are resolute that it can. But then, there’s the complication of the murdered woman’s father, the bombastic, bullying Bernie Cornell. One of Australia’s richest men, but he’s closing in on death due to old age and ill health.
There’s no shortage of intrigue, no shortage of potential murderers.
Another gripping thriller, Natalie Campbell and Inspector Haddock at their very best.
Island Shadows (Book 3) - Sixty-eight million pounds and DEAD!
Was the murderer the woman he had just made love to or a jealous paramour, or was the motive more obscure?
It was an island prison in colonial days, then a shipbuilding facility, and now a venue for concerts and tourists, with some camping overnight and others wandering around the engineering workshops or the ruins of the prison.
Death wasn't uncommon in its earlier, more violent days, but not in the present, and not at a concert, but Alan Greenworthy had died. Would others?
Another gripping thriller based in the idyllic surroundings of Sydney Harbour.
Genre: Mystery
