Jeff Gulvin

The complete police-procedural trilogy featuring maverick London Inspector Aden Vanner: Sleep No More, Sorted, and Close Quarters.
 
Sleep No More: London’s Detective Chief Inspector Aden Vanner, former member of the Irish Army, has never tracked a serial killer as elusive as the Watchman. The victims are all ordinary citizens in need of some twisted retribution, shot execution-style. But when Vanner is shut out of the case by his superintendent, it could cost him more than his career, because Vanner has suddenly become the prime suspect.
 
Sorted: Aden Vanner, demoted from the rank of London’s Detective Chief Inspector, is beaten outside a pub by unknown assailants. Vanner knows the difference between a garden-variety robbery and something else. This felt like payback. Considering how many people Vanner has crossed, it could be anyone. Now it’s Vanner’s turn to get even—and where better than as new Detective Inspector of the Drug Squad.
 
Close Quarters: Aden Vanner is investigating drug dealers in the Harlesden district of London when the shooting death of a suburban wife captures his attention. As Vanner digs into the case, he begins to make connections between her murder and the Harlesden gang, between her husband and the IRA, and between himself and a vengeful old acquaintance. When all the pieces collide, even Vanner isn’t prepared for the explosion.
 
 Informed by his research with the Metropolitan Police Department, Jeff Gulvin’s thrilling trilogy brings readers into criminal London with frightening authenticity.

The Aden Vanner Novels: Sleep No More, Sorted, and Close Quarters

Inspector Aden Vanner’s investigation into vigilante killings in London takes a bizarre twist when the inspector himself becomes the prime suspect.
 
 London’s Det. Chief Inspector Aden Vanner, former member of the Irish army, has never tracked a serial killer as haunting or as elusive as the Watchman. The victims: seemingly ordinary citizens in need of retribution, shot execution-style, and left with the Watchman’s calling cards—a photograph of the crime scene, and the same cryptic message sent to authorities: All my pretty ones.
 
 After four years on the case, Vanner snaps and beats a suspect senseless—an incident that could cost him more than his career. Because Superintendent Morrison has been following the Watchman case closely. He’s convinced the vigilante is one of his own. And everything now points to Aden Vanner.
 
Sleep No More begins Gulvin’s gritty police-procedural trilogy, followed by Sorted and Close Quarters.

But his low gets even lower when he’s beaten outside a local pub by a couple of unknown assailants. It felt like payback for something. And with all the people Vanner has crossed, there’s plenty of motive in the streets. Now it’s his turn to get even—and where better than as new Detective Inspector of the Drug Squad.
 
 Superintendent Morrison doesn’t like the idea of a detective like Vanner back on the force. Especially when he’s got a grudge. But Vanner’s already got a lead on the gang that nearly slammed the life out of him, and it’s taking him into the underground of a drug cartel. Trouble is, it might not be so much a break in the case, as it is a trap.

Sorted

Chief Inspector Aden Vanner hunts down a cold-blooded assassin in London’s drug underworld in this page-turning thriller from the author of Sorted.
 
 Drug Squad Chief Inspector Vanner is investigating a group of crack dealers in Harlesden, London’s Caribbean district, when a bizarre murder captures his attention. Jessica Turner, a seemingly unremarkable suburban woman, was gunned down in her home with a TT-33 Tokarev—a make of gun now obsolete in its native Russia, but still common among terrorists in the Irish Republican Army. Unless it’s a case of mistaken identity, Jessica Turner clearly had a secret.
 
 As Vanner digs deeper into the case, he begins to make connections between Jessica’s murder and the Harlesden gang, between her cagey husband and the IRA, and between himself and a vengeful old acquaintance. When all the pieces collide, even a seasoned pro like Vanner isn’t prepared for the explosion.
 
Close Quarters is the final book in Jeff Gulvin’s gritty and authentic police-procedural trilogy set in the dark streets of London, which includes Sleep No More and Sorted.
