First book in The Dead Trilogy. A Long Time Dead asks is forensic evidence incontrovertible? How would you feel if forensic evidence incorrectly incriminated you? In the world of crime scene investigation, Roger Conniston is one of West Yorkshire Police's finest. But his chequered past catches up with him when forensic evidence implicates him in the death of a young woman. Arrested for murder, Conniston must prove the evidence was planted and manipulated. But how can he do that from inside a cell, especially when his prime suspect is a high-ranking police officer, and not even his friends believe him?

Second book in The Dead Trilogy. Roger Conniston is a newly promoted Senior Scenes of Crime Officer with a lot to prove and a lot to protect. He’s up against an ex-bare-knuckle fighter called Hades who is planning the most audacious robbery in England’s history. For Hades, the success of this job is paramount; and he’s planned it in meticulous detail, from the explosive diversions to the selection of his team and the weapons they’ll use. Roger is faced with a decision: continue working with the police and put faith in the flawed investigative skills of DCI Chamberlain, or cut the ties and venture out alone to stop Hades and secure everything he cares about. Stealing Elgar shows how two opposites approach the same problem, and how they carve their way through conflicting interests to reach – or destroy – their goal.

“It’ll screw you up into a tiny ball of hatred and spit you out into a cell.” SOCO Roger Conniston stares at the Glock and makes a list of names. On his list is Jess, second in command to the late Hades. Hades set Jess one last job: kill Roger Conniston. Who lives and who dies? A man is murdered, his face pulverised and his body set alight. Did Roger take his revenge? Detective Superintendent Chamberlain sees his chance to bury his own corrupt past, and begins to hunt Roger down. And if Roger should die in the chase... well, accidents happen. On the run from underworld gang members, from an unexpected stranger, and from the police too, the time has come for Roger to stand his ground and face them all. Will his fear win? Or will his anger? Malicious coppers, violent gangsters, and a fight for survival that’ll test Roger’s own mind. No More Tears will crush your sympathy and shatter your compassion.
