2. Comes the Dark (2006)
1941
London is suffering under the bombardment of the German blitzkrieg.
A desperate murderer is using the blackout to his advantage, leaving a string of strangled prostitutes littered around London’s streets.
One-eyed self-employed detective Johnny Hawke is drawn into a complex web of darkness, drama and death.
He takes it upon himself to infiltrate the Britannia Club, a dangerous underground fascist organisation hell-bent on a Nazi invasion of Britain, and bring them down, single-handedly, from within.
As the strands of his investigations come together, Johnny is faced with the greatest challenge of his life, and an ugly accusation: the murderer may be closer than he had ever imagined.
3. Without Conscience (2008)
1942
Forests of the Night introduced the intrepid John Hawke, an exciting new detective operating in London during the Blitz. Now Johnny Hawke is back in this atmospheric, thrilling sequel.
Set in 1942, Without Conscience finds Rachel Howells in London for the first time, trapped in a web of violence. Her companion, army deserter Harryboy Jenkins, will stop at nothing–not even murder–to enjoy his illicit freedom. Meanwhile, private detective Johnny Hawke is involved in the bizarre murder of one of his clients. At the same time he is trying to find Peter, the runaway boy he had befriended in an earlier case.
Inexorably the paths of Harryboy and Johnny grow closer together until they collide with frightening consequences.
This is a stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Forests of the Night and is sure to win Davies a whole new set of fans

The wartime private detective Johnny ‘One-Eye’ Hawke is dealing with a strange client.
He swears he’s seen a ghost – his wife, dead for years, appeared out of nowhere on a tube station platform.
Meanwhile, a sinister new protection racket has set itself up on Johnny’s patch, operated by the mysteriously re-invigorated Bernstein gang.
Their violence is getting a little too close for comfort…
Jonny must solve the strange case of the platform ghost, under fire from the Bernstein gang.
But as Johnny searches through the blackout for the elusive Beryl, he also has to deal with the realisation that for the first time in his life he is in love – with Maxine, a costume designer who, thankfully, has been called away from London on work.
At least she’s out of harm’s way.
Or so Johnny thinks…

As the case unfolds, so does the web of lies in which Hawke becomes entangled. But who can be trusted? Who is telling the truth?
