Genre: Mystery
3-The Flesh is Weak:A grave containing the skeleton of ten year-old Amy Linton – missing for eight years – is found in Galleyhill Wood in Essex, and then Head of Forensics, Paul Toadstone, finds more skeletons in the same grave, and more graves in the woods. A reporter, who might have known something about the dead children, is gruesomely murdered, and the newspaper where he worked is destroyed by fire. Parish and Richards slowly begin to collect the evidence and put the pieces of the puzzle together, but there are other players in this game. John Linton wants revenge on the person who killed his daughter and destroyed his life; Alex Knight wants to escape from an unwanted life with MI6, but to do that she must kill Parish; and a shadowy organisation will do anything to remain a secret. As the body count rises, the Chief brings in two additional detectives to help them; Richards’ love life goes from bad to worse; Parish begins the search for his parents; and the detectives must mourn the death of two friends.
4-The Shadow of Death: If you’ve read Chapter 1 you’ll know that DCI Marshall has taken the place of Chief Walter Day, transferred Kowalski to Traffic Analysis, and is taking an active role in running the investigations… But what you don’t know is that DCI Marshall has an agenda! Toadstone finds a body in a trunk at the landfill site, which isn’t connected to the Bin Bags Case, and between him and Parish they decide to investigate the body in the trunk themselves. Parish is then suspended from active duty – now, (you know and I know) that he should really hand over the case, but the trouble is Toadstone’s done an illegal post-mortem, so they decide to carry on investigating the murder using the backroom of Parish’s house as a base. Richards is not happy because Marshall is using her as a driver and not involving her in the Bin Bag Case, but she realises that the trunk murder is a copycat of a murder from the 1950s, and there are more to come… Also, the Chief Constable goes to Klosters skiing with his family, and Sir Charles Lathbury from MI6 decides that it would be better all round if he had an accident and didn’t come back until Parish’s career was ruined, but there’s an ex-Stasi killer tracking the assassins and Sir Charles, who thinks he’s incognito, but isn’t. The reporter, Catherine Cox from the Chigwell Herald, becomes involved when the killer contacts her wanting publicity, but because Parish is running an illegal investigation, she has to hide the vague report on page 5 of the paper. The killer contacts her and tells her she’s on his list, which means that Parish has to look after her. Not only does she move into Parish’s spare room, much to the chagrin of both Angie and Richards, but she also tries to tempt him away from Angie. What am I doing? I’ve nearly told you the whole story, but not quite… There’s more twists and turns in this book than a game of Twister! And I haven’t even mentioned the wedding, a clue coming from a friend about Parish’s parents, or St. John – the killer!
5-His Wrath is Come: PC Lola Laveque in Missing Persons identifies a pattern. Murders are thin on the ground, so Parish and Richards decide to investigate. Their investigations lead them all over Essex, and eventually to Maldon where they discover one man’s obsession for his family. Also, Sergeant Ed Gorman has a different problem with his family. After the death of an investigative journalist, Parish decides to stop looking for his parents.
6-The Breath of Life: Parish and Richards investigate a case involving recently pregnant headless bodies disposed of in the sewers. Not only do they struggle to discover the identity of the victims, but they can’t find the babies either. Kowalski and Nash investigate the death of the landlady of The Smutty Pig who has been bludgeoned to death and a withered flower left on the body. Also, Parish finds out who his father is, somebody wants Angie’s baby, and Richards has another relationship disaster. Oh, and a favourite comes back… for a while!
7-The Dead Know Not: Parish & Richards have two cases to solve. One turns out to be unfinished business, the other is very close to home. Angie struggles to come to terms with her new baby. Kowalski is promoted, but someone is out to ruin him. Two detectives join the team, and are allocated the case of five bodies discovered in the grounds of a house.
8-Be Not Afraid:This next book in the series is packed with story and very few ‘F’ words: Parish and Richards travel to Quantica, Virginia to give a presentation at an FBI conference on serial killers in different cultures, but they stumble over an American serial Killer called "The Painter". Chief Kowalski and his wife Jerry are accused of Satanic Ritual Abuse of their children, who are taken away by Social Services – Kowalski has another heart attack and ends up in hospital, which leaves Jerry in a fight to get her children back. Much to Xena’s disgust, her and Stick are given two cases to investigate due to Parish & Richards’ absence. One, in which a group called Mothers Against Paedophiles (MAPs) are abducting paedophiles from their own homes, torturing confessions out of them, killing them, and then publishing the video-confessions on a website. The second case concerns a man called John Smith who is discovered in a house that resembles a necropolis because it has so many female bodies inside. The trouble is, he’s not John Smith, he’s not talking, and they don’t know who he is. And I haven’t told you about the hacker called Cookie, Charlie Baxter the solicitor, Alicia Mae’s past, the undercover operative from the DGIFC following Parish… Oh yes, and there’s an addition to Parish’s family!
9-The House of Mourning:Parish & Richards must find a killer who is carving broken hearts on women’s abdomens and then murdering them. Stick & Xena have the case of a severed hand, which was found by a bag lady in a waste bin outside the local fish & chip shop, but Xena has her own problems. Jerry gets involved with a woman who thinks someone is trying to kill her, so she asks for Cookie’s help who gets herself into serious trouble in doing so. Also, Oscar Gamboa, a lieutenant in the Los Cambios drug cartel, has been tasked by Esteben Garcia to get his money back and kill whoever has it. Parish & Richards finally get the chance to visit the Excess Bagage depot in Wembley and find out what’s contained in the briefcase.
10-Through a Glass Darkly:Parish & Richards are sent to Cyprus to discover if a British Army officer being held by the Cypriot police is responsible for murdering a local woman and the disappearance of three other women, or whether he is being made a scapegoat by the anti-British elements of the Cypriot government. Jerry gets involved in a simple restraining order and then disappears. Kowalski oversteps the mark trying to find her, but all is not what it seems. Stick and Koll have two cases to solve: Viktor likes performing surgical procedures on people using his collection of antique medical instruments; and a sniper is shooting drivers on the A406 in Essex. The dirty cops at Shrub End send a killer after Koll, and Stick must race to save her. Xena wakes up and asks her old flame – DI Tom Dougall – to help her protect Stick. Cookie gives the files (including details of the Epsilon experiments) that she stole from Basement 7 to Group 323, who pass them onto WikiUK in Iceland. The security services send a black ops team to Iceland to prevent publication of the top secret files, which they fear could bring down the British Government.
