How do you investigate a murder when the victim seems to have no past? A puzzling new crime thriller by the author of A Fatal Move.

 When Oliver Upton is shot dead on a golf course, DCI Fleming and his team look for details about the man’s life, but they aren’t easy to find. All they know is that he showed up in Oxford and started working as a taxi driver. Not even the victim’s new partner, Jamila Kazan, knows much about him—and the mystery deepens when Kazan is also shot.

 Grasping for clues, Fleming investigates Kazan’s ex, who joined a rifle club after their breakup—and Upton’s ex, who may have been abused by him.

 But after Fleming heads to Edinburgh to follow a lead, he soon learns that Upton had a good reason for leaving his past behind, and that far more lies at the heart of these crimes . . .

The DCI Alex Fleming Series

No Hiding Place: A gripping crime thriller full of twists

Three crime thrillers in one volume: In England’s Thames Valley, a police detective takes on murder, corruption, and department politics . . .

 These novels featuring DCI Fleming of the Major Crime Unit include:

The Fifth Suspect
 A body is found on a boat on the River Thames—and newly promoted DCI Alex Fleming, a man with a troubled past, is keen to prove his worth with his first murder case. But a belligerent fellow DCI gives Fleming a hostile reception, and as internal politics come into play, Fleming finds himself up against both a difficult case and his own colleagues.

The Last Man
 The assistant chief constable wants DCI Fleming to review the cold case of an activist shot dead five years ago after a strike at the Atomic Weapons Establishment. Fleming soon finds out that MI5 have an interest in the case, and learns that another activist was the main suspect. But as the body count rises and he uncovers an extramarital affair, he suspects the answers may lie in a very different place . . .

A Fatal Move
 The normally tranquil village of Darmont is in an uproar over a plan for new housing and a shopping center—but the angry demonstrations are not the only thing disturbing the peace. The assistant to the millionaire property developer behind the controversy has been murdered—and the son of an investor has been kidnapped. Has a protester taken things too far—or is something more complex going on among the rich and powerful?

Money may make the world go round, but it turns a village upside down, in this tense British crime thriller by the author of The Last Man.

The assistant to the millionaire property developer behind the controversy has been murdered and the son of a Saudi investor in the plan has been kidnapped.

 Has a protester taken things too far—or is something more sinister going on behind the scenes among the rich and powerful? As rumors and accusations of blackmail, bribery, and corruption fly, DCI Alex Fleming must dig up the truth in a pursuit that will lead him all the way to London . . .

A Fatal Move

A DCI deals with a homicide on a boat in the Thames—and hostility from his own colleagues—in the debut of this police thriller series.

A shady London nightclub owner is found dead on his boat on the River Thames—and newly promoted DCI Alex Fleming, a man with a troubled past, is keen to prove his worth with his first murder case after joining the Major Crime Unit of Thames Valley Police.

But Bill Watson, a belligerent fellow DCI, gives Fleming a hostile reception and, as internal politics come into play, Fleming finds himself up against both a difficult case and his own colleagues. During the course of the investigation, Fleming and his sergeant identify five suspects. Now they need to eliminate them one by one—or figure out whether they should be looking somewhere else entirely—in this first book in an electrifying new crime series.

The Fifth Suspect: A Gripping Crime Thriller You Don't Want to Miss

A cold case heats up as a British police detective investigates the murder of a union activist—while MI5 puts the pressure on . . . 

DCI Alex Fleming has returned to work after convalescent leave to find that the Assistant Chief Constable wants him to review an old cold case. William Stroud, a union activist, was shot dead five years ago after a strike at the Atomic Weapons Establishment organised by union leader Bill Kauffman. No one had ever been arrested for the crime.

When Fleming later finds out that MI5 have an interest in the case and in what’s going on at the AWE, he realises how deep he’s going to have to dig. After speaking to the officer who originally investigated the case, he learns that another activist was the main suspect. But as the body count rises and Fleming uncovers an extramarital affair, he suspects the answers may lie in a very different place . . .
