Story
A victim. A mutilated body. A single word. A young woman is found dead on the streets of London. Her throat slashed, her body mutilated, and one word carved into her flesh: “DON’T.” Detective Superintendent Ray Paterson is assigned to the case. Young, handsome and from a wealthy background, he’s tipped for the top. He joins a team based out of Bermondsey, South London. It’s meant to be a stepping stone to his next promotion, but this case will threaten to bring down his career and everything he thought he knew about policing.

Albert Tanner, vicious psychopath and burner of men, is in the USA with unfinished business. Detective Superintendent Ray Paterson and Detective Inspector Johnny Clocks must find him first. Their task is straightforward: hunt Tanner down and bring him home. But a few explosions, an assassin and a dead child change everything. Dragged into a sordid world of high-class sex parties, they discover an Albert Tanner they never knew existed. Then a child is snatched from her own bed and Tanner wants to do a deal.

Story
The body of a blonde young man found in the canal is discovered to be that of a journalist who had been claiming he was onto the story of a lifetime. The area where he was murdered turns out to be subject to a land dispute. A young woman is adamant she remembers a childhood twin brother, but her father swears she’s an only child. And now a second young blonde is missing. Rachel King and her East Manchester CID team must determine what links this all together - or are they being led to draw connections which aren’t there? And if so, who is pulling their strings?

When two young girls disappear from their primary school, the village of Heighington is put on high alert - and not for the first time.

When decomposed human remains are discovered in a suitcase behind a locked door in the home of an elderly man, Detective Karen Hart thinks the facts speak for themselves. That is, until she finds the warning: It’s time to pay for your crime. The body belongs to a former teacher, Oliver Fox, who vanished from the village thirty years earlier. Hart’s instincts tell her there is something untoward about this rural Lincolnshire community - especially when she uncovers evidence suggesting that, although Fox was a victim, he certainly wasn’t innocent.

Publisher's Summary
A man shot dead in the street. But what the police find nearby is far worse.
An elderly African man is found dead in the street, shot through the head. The killing has the hallmarks of a professional assassin. Dumped in a waste bin next to the dead man is the dismembered torso of a child.
On his first day back at work, disgraced Detective Superintendent Ray Paterson finds himself teamed up again with newly promoted Detective Inspector Johnny Clocks.
They must hunt down a ruthless killer with connections that go far beyond anything they’ve ever encountered before.
Within days they know who committed the murders and why but are left reeling when they are ordered by the government to release the child’s killers.
Finding the killers wasn’t the hard part. Bringing them to justice is.
This is the second in a series of action-packed edge-of-your-seat crime thrillers, with an ending that will have your heart in your mouth.
Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Damien Boyd, Rachel Abbott, Patricia Gibney or Martina Cole.

Really enjoyed the 1st book and the 2nd just as good. Patterson and Clocks made an interesting team. Maybe not for the faint hearted with gruesome crimes but Clocks brings some light relief with his banter. Overall I would highly recommend , going to downloadthe next in the series.
