Fallen Angels by Kevin Lewis

DI Stacey Collins has seen the darker side of humanity all too often. A single mum and former child
from the grim Blenheim estate, she knows only too well what terrors the world can hold. But even her
jaded eyes have never witnessed a crime of such unspeakable horror.

A body, broken and lifeless, is found in the gloom of a London church. Kidnapped and horrifically
murdered, young Daniel Wright never knew his tormentor. And it is only the beginning. Soon Collins
finds herself both haunted by the demons of her past and battling in the name of innocence itself.

Some angels never find their path to heaven...

Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler
Derace Kingsley's wife ran away to Mexico to get a quickie divorce and marry a Casanova-wannabe
named Chris Lavery. Or so the note she left her husband insisted. Trouble is, when Philip Marlowe
asks Lavery about it he denies everything and sends the private investigator packing with a flea
lodged firmly in his ear. But when Marlowe next encounters Lavery, he's denying nothing - on account
of the two bullet holes in his heart. Now Marlowe's on the trail of a killer, who leads him out of
smoggy LA all the way to a murky mountain lake … 
 

Tiger in the Smoke by Margery Allingham
Jack Havoc, jail-breaker and knife artist, is on the loose on the streets of London once again. In
the faded squares of shabby houses, in the furtive alleys and darkened pubs, the word is out that
the Tiger is back in town, more vicious and cunning than ever. It falls to Albert Campion to pit his
wits against the killer and hunt him down through the city's November smog before it is too late.

The Alienist by Caleb Carr
Some things never change. New York City, 1896. Hypocrisy in high places is rife, police corruption
commonplace, and a brutal killer is terrorising young male prostitutes. Unfortunately for Police
Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt, the psychological profiling of murderers is a practice still in its
infancy, struggling to make headway against the prejudices of those who prefer the mentally ill -
and the 'alienists' who treat them - to be out of sight as well as out of mind. But as the body c
ount rises, Roosevelt swallows his doubts and turns to the eminent alienist Dr Laszlo Kreizler to
put a stop to the bloody murders - giving Kreizler a chance to take him further into the dark heart
of criminality, and one step closer to death.


Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell
Dr Kay Scarpetta has left Virginia in quest of peace but instead finds herself drawn into baffling,
horrific murders in Florida, where she becomes entangled in an international conspiracy that
confronts her with the shock of her life.

When the Dead Cry Out by Hilary Bonner
From a former Fleet Street journalist and an accomplished British suspense writer comes a complex
puzzle wrapped in a plot that could almost be ripped from contemporary U.S. headlines. Imagine what
would happen if a vanished woman's body lay underwater for almost three decades, the police unable
to charge her guilty-as-sin husband until her remains are finally discovered by pure chance... 27
years ago, Clara Marshall and her two young children vanished without a trace. In the face of
intense scrutiny, her estranged husband claimed she was having an affair and had left him, taking
the children and destroying the family forever. Though police and the community remain suspicious,
no evidence ever surfaces to prove he's lying, and his wife and children are never found--alive or
dead. Until now, that is--when some unidentified skeletal remains are discovered wrapped in a tarp
on the bottom of the ocean, reporter John Kelly and Detective Inspector Karen Meadows, each
intimately connected to the events of so long ago, suspect that the final resting place of Clara
Marshall has finally been found. But many questions are left to be answered--just what happened to
the children?--and the decades-old evidence trail is growing colder by the minute.
