Time to Kill (David Mallin #1):
When Detective Sergeant Dave Mallin is invited for a few frames of snooker, he wasn’t expecting to be playing Eldon Kyle.
Kyle was the man who had threatened Both Mallin and his colleague Geoff Forbes with murder.
But his opponent is more deadly than even Mallin could have guessed.
And when Geoff is killed in the very same building, it seems Mallin has given Kyle a firm alibi.
Soon Geoff’s wife Elsa is under threat as well.
And Mallin himself may be implicated.
Mallin must fight to prove his innocence and to find the real killer in this atmospheric crime thriller, which is perfect for fans of Peter James and Peter Robinson.
The Silence of the Night (David Mallin #2):
While on suspension from Birmingham CID, police sergeant David Mallin is brought to Killington Towers by his friend Elsa to oversee security for Hilary Keane’s valuable art collection.
In an attempt to raise funds to preserve his stately home, Keane has decided to open the Grand Hall of Killington Towers as an art exhibition.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is Keane’s prized possession — a Chinese porcelain vase from the T’ang Dynasty.
But during David’s first nightshift at Killington Towers, he is knocked unconscious in the Grand Hall by a mystery attacker.
He awakens to find Keane’s prized T’ang vase smashed to pieces — and fellow guest Cameron Frazer murdered.
Was the vase broken during the murder?
Or was the murder an offshoot of an attempted robbery?
David soon learns that several of the guests staying at Killington Towers had motives to kill the victim …
A the motive for muder may have been lost in ‘The Silence of the Night’.
A Spoonful of Luger (David Mallin #4):
Private Eye George Coe is staring at the end of his career.
He’s getting older, moving slower, and his bank account has seen better days.
But when nine year-old Dulcie Randall is reported missing, Coe can’t help but take the case – even though it will take him back to a town riddled with memories – memories he’d much rather forget.
Just as Coe starts looking for answers, he loses his biggest clue.
One of the main kidnapping suspects, Dennis Cleave, ends up murdered.
Soon Coe finds himself deep in the shady dealings of a car-breaking yard, sifting through false alibis and lies.
Can Coe use all of his cunning to extract the truth, in a town that’s filled with lies?
To find the answer, he must look to his own past…
Sealed with a Loving Kill (David Mallin #5):
It seemed a simple case for David Mallin — to find a businessman’s wife who had been missing for 3 years… and with all the clues handed to him – even her last location.
He’d had more challenging tasks, but this case unsettled him.
It was the second part of the assignment that would prove difficult — to find out why she went missing.
However, the case soon crumbles into tragedy with the woman’s untimely death, but this was only the beginning of the mystery.
Why did she die, and how could she come between David and his brand-new wife, Elsa?
The Colour of Fear (David Mallin #6):
The need for justice…
When Inspector Flagg’s wife is murdered in a brutal hit and run, art student Toni Brent’s witness statement proves integral to the case.
But someone desperately wants her to change her story, and is willing to take very drastic measures…
David Mallin’s expert detective skills are called for in a case that proves increasingly complex as his investigations proceed.
He quickly discovers that there might be more than just one person eager to revise the evidence surrounding the murder.
Are Arturo Petrucchi and his band of merry criminals behind it all?
Flagg’s bereaved anger verging on hysterical would appear to show this, as he doggedly pursues the criminal boss.
Mallin clashes with both the police and the criminals, until it seems like he has nowhere to turn – except to a plan that’s crazy enough to just maybe work, enlisting the help of his artist friend Ruby Streiss… even if it means putting his relationship with his beloved wife Elsa on the line.
Will Mallin be able to remain concentrated on the case as it turns personal and he is targeted from all sides?
Too Late For The Funeral (David Mallin #8):
Mallin’s back…
Approaching the same case from entirely different directions, David Mallin and George Coe remain completely unaware of the other’s interest. But not for long.
Seventeen-year-old Carol Turner is somehow involved with a murder case, and she has a weapon in her possession that could solve the case. David looks into it, but doesn’t get very far. George takes a different approach, simply allowing matters to develop.
But is it David’s wife, Elsa Mallin, who’s destined to suffer the most? And is Carol Turner the key to releasing her from her pain?
This Murder Come to Mind (David Mallin #9):
A deadly pact, with terrifying consequences…
It was two years since Alan Crosby had survived from the suicide pact. Felicity had died, but Alan had suffered, and now he knew he was being watched. He felt himself being edged nearer and nearer to the cliff where Felicity had plunged to her death. Impelled to return to the place, it was uncanny to see Betty standing there, as Felicity had stood two years before.
Who was driving Alan once more to the brink? Was it Betty’s husband Conrad, or Felicity’s widower Grayson? Or was it one of the sinister watchers in that car that was forever shadowing him? Or was it indeed Betty herself? One of them had the scene for the final curtain so well set up, so very nearly perfectly planned. Very nearly, but not quite perfectly.
A Dip Into Murder (David Mallin #10):
A body dipped in paint with his nose rubbed clean, thirty-seven tons of stolen steel, and a notorious assassin in town…
Elsa Mallin is a long way from her husband and she has something to prove when faced with this strange set of circumstances.
To her, the ageing assassin with an eye for the ladies is pathetic — but when his eye falls on Elsa herself, it is time to run.
But there are mysteries to solves here, and Elsa knows she has a part to play.
Too many people are relying on Elsa, including both the kidnap gang and the victims.
To get to the bottom of what’s going on, she’ll have to deal with a set of wild characters and the result becomes a question of survival….
The Weight of Evidence (David Mallin #11):
Fred Wallach had been shut away in a bare shed.
He had no means of escape.
Yet by morning, he had disappeared.
When the private detectives David Mallin and George Coe are hired to recover the missing builder, what initially appears as a harmless joke, played by Fred’s colleagues, turns out to be something far more elaborate than first thought.
As they begin searching for clues to locate Wallach, Mallin and Coe quickly unveil some dark secrets about their victim.
Wallach, a callous and devious man, was disliked by a wide range of people.
With nothing about the disappearance making sense, the mystery of the vanishing man appears an impossible case to solve.
When the missing person case becomes a murder investigation, Mallin and Coe find themselves under mounting pressure to deliver a result…
Amnesia Trap (David Mallin #13):
Investigator David Mallin is faced with a new challenge he’s not likely to forget any time soon…
When actress Karen Dale comes to him with a problem, he is immediately sucked into her world of film sets and directors. But it’s her case that captures his interest. She can’t recall her whereabouts for an entire day. And last time this happened, someone ended up dead.
It’s Mallin’s job to retrace her steps and figure out why she can’t remember. He also takes it upon himself to look at what happened last time, and try to figure out the truth. But it won’t be easy when everyone Karen is associated with seems to be hiding something. Especially the burly stuntmen who seem to prefer violence as a form of preservation.
With the help of George Coe and a ‘borrowed’ Lexus, will Mallin be able to solve this case before she loses time again? Or is there more to this story than first meets the eye?
Cart Before the Hearse (David Mallin #14):
When Ernest Connolly admits to having killed, this leads to a great deal of questions…
Who was the victim? Where was the body? And what then happened to Ernest?
Ernest’s last words haunt the investigation and policemen Dave Mallin and George Coe find themselves attempting to discover a body to fit the crime.
Fortunately, they have a lead: a rather unusual car.
This leads them straight into trouble, and although the victim is soon discovered, it is not at all certain where the blame really lies.
Was Ernest really the culprit?
Five men were intimately involved that fatal Saturday. Five men and one girl.
George becomes obsessed with the loaded pistol which was not fired, but Dave is more interested in the phone call that was not made.
But which is the key to unlock this investigation?
Neither is quite certain, until the end, exactly whose murder they are investigating…
One Deathless Hour (David Mallin #16):
Victor Abbott is seeking an alibi for a murder it seems only he could have committed…
A man is deal: his rival in love, shot expertly with a bullet that also appears to give the exact time of the murder: 8.59.
But is this the time the murder was committed, or is Victor being set up…?
Matters are further confused with the discovery of another murder, miles apart at the end of an hour’s drive, but carried out with the same revolver within minutes of the other crime.
Is it even possible for both homicides to have been perpetrated by the same person?
Because that’s exactly what the evidence points to…
It seems David Mallin and George Coe, never averse to a little blackmail, will have to employ all the unorthodox methods in their arsenal.
While their client’s interests must be the priority, trying to keep ahead of the police investigation becomes increasingly difficult.
Co-operation with Detectives Miller, Messingham and Rogerson appears to be inevitable, however reluctant.
When it emerges Mallin and Coe must seek out other involved parties, a split occurs.
Can the double act work separately to discover the truth?
