Unpleasant as it might be, this is very definitely Brock’s business.

Drumfire

The new and unusual case for Detectives Brock and Poole – One Saturday night, a masked gunman walks into a jazz club and murders the drummer. Very soon, Detective Chief Inspector Brock and Detective Sergeant Poole find themselves taking an interest in the guests at a party in Surrey’s stockbroker belt, which leads them to look again at a five-year-old robbery and to interview a dozen or so armed robbers. The killer is eventually arrested, but not before numerous extra-marital affairs come to light and a bullion van is attacked…

Although Blakemore was exonerated, Brock is convinced that underworld characters have exacted revenge…

Hardcastle’s Airmen

In February 1915, the Great War is still raging on the Western Front, but in Westminster, at the centre of Hardcastle’s bailiwick, a policeman is shot dead. At first, Hardcastle believes the murderer to have been a disturbed burglar.

Hardcastle’s Burglar
