AFTER THE FIRE

Arson, accident or murder? After a fire rips through a North London tower block, two bodies are found locked in an eleventh-floor flat. But it is the third victim - the MP Geoff Armstrong - that requires the presence of detective Maeve Kerrigan and the murder squad. It appears that Armstrong, trapped by the fire, chose to jump to his death rather than wait for rescue. But why? And what was the controversial right-wing politician doing there in the first place? As Maeve picks through the wreckage, she will uncover a secret world where everyone has something to hide . . .

THE BURNING

The media call him The Burning Man, a brutal murderer who has beaten four young women to death, before setting their bodies ablaze in secluded areas of London's parks. Maeve Kerrigan is an ambitious detective constable, keen to make her mark on the murder task force. But how do you catch a killer no one has seen? And when so much of the evidence they leave behind has gone up in smoke?

THE LAST GIRL

The teenage girl was the first victim. Her throat cut to the bone, she didn’t stand a chance. Her mother, at least, had time to fight back. Briefly. Called to the crime scene in leafy Wimbledon, Maeve Kerrigan’s first thought is that this is a domestic dispute gone badly. But the husband is found lying bleeding and unconscious in an upstairs room. He insists he’s the third victim rather than their prime suspect. The only other surviving family member is 15-year-old Lydia - and the only witness Maeve has. But she isn’t talking....

THE MISSING

Jenny Shephard is twelve years old and missing. Her teacher, Sarah Finch, knows better than most that the chances of finding her alive are diminishing every day. As a little girl Sarah's older brother went out to play and never come home. The strain of not knowing what happened to him tore her family apart. When Sarah finds Jenny's body, beaten and abandoned in the woods near her home, she is drawn into the heart of the investigation and a media storm. Her presence at the scene arouses suspicions. But it is not just the police that are watching her...

THE RECKONING

To the public, he's a hero: a killer who targets convicted paedophiles. Two men are already dead and even the police don't regard the cases as a priority. But to DC Maeve Kerrigan, no one should be allowed to take the law into their own hands. When the killer's violence begins to escalate, she is forced to confront exactly how far she's prepared to go to ensure justice is served...

THE STRANGER YOU KNOW

He meets women. He gains their trust. He kills them. That's all Maeve Kerrigan knows about the man she is hunting. Three women have been targeted in their homes by the same sadistic killer. With no sign of a break-in, every indication shows that they let him in. But the evidence is pointing at a shocking suspect: DI Josh Derwent, Maeve's colleague. Maeve refuses to believe he could be involved, but how well does she really know him? Because this isn't the first time Derwent's been accused of murder...
