All four books in 'Alex Warren Murder Mysteries', a tartan noir crime fiction series by Zach Abrams, now in one volume!

Made A Killing: Nobody sheds a tear when the body of Scott Stevenson, a local troublemaker, turns up with an ivory tusk driven through his torso. D.C.I. Alex Warren is tasked with bringing the killer to justice, but the case turns out to be more complicated than they expected. With the body count rising and clues few and far between, can Alex and his team close the case before more lives are lost?

A Measure of Trouble: A cold February morning in central Scotland commences with the discovery of a body, as Chief Executive Hector Mathewson is found dead within the cask room of his own distillery. With suspects aplenty and motives ranging from greed and nationalism to adultery and revenge, D.C.I. Alex Warren will need to balance his own turbulent personal life while directing the hunt for the murderer.

Written To Death: It was scarcely the first time that bestselling author Sheila Armstrong had died on stage, but it would most certainly be the last. Sheila, a member of Eastfarm Writers, has been stabbed to death on stage in a school, during a rehearsal of a play she’d written. While DCI Alex Warren works the case, his partner, DI Sandra McKinnon, is roped into investigating a series of crimes which appear to be mob-related. As the enquiries run in parallel, can they support each other and bring the perpetrators to justice?

Offender of the Faith: Just as his partner is due to give birth, DCI Alex Warren is sent to lead a difficult and sensitive investigation. After a young Asian girl is found assaulted and murdered in her home, families are brought under intense scrutiny, as Alex and his team look for answers. But can they find the killer in time?

A Measure of Trouble

Did you believe writing was a safe pastime?

It was not the first time bestselling author Sheila Armstrong had died on stage, but it would most certainly be the last.

DCI Alex Warren and his girlfriend, D. I. Sandra McKinnon, return from a short holiday, but hardly manage to step from the plane before they're called to investigate the suspicious death.

Sheila, a member of Eastfarm Writers, has been stabbed to death on stage during a rehearsal of a play she'd written. Her death mimics the plot.

Within hours, Sandra is roped into investigating a separate series of crimes, which appears to be mob-related. As the enquiries run parallel, they struggle to make progress while supporting each other.

But can there be a connection?

This is a standalone mystery, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.

Written To Death

Just as his partner Sandra is due to give birth, D.C.I. Alex Warren is sent to lead a difficult and sensitive investigation.

Why has a young Asian girl been sexually assaulted and murdered in the home she shares with her Scottish boyfriend? Families are brought under intense scrutiny as Alex and his team look for answers.

Potential motives of racism, islamophobia, hate, jealousy and honor killing all have to be considered. But who is behind the killing... and what is the real reason?

Offender Of The Faith is a standalone novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.
