About this series
A woman steps off the platform into the path of the oncoming train. On a lonely road at night, a young man steers his sports car into a tree, at speed. Tragic suicides, clearly. Or are they? When enquiries show neither victim had reason to kill themselves, DCI Jamie Carver faces a conundrum. Can someone be programmed to take their own life? And if so, can they also be programmed to murder? These are the questions the detective must answer, and quickly, before more die. But how do you do that when the person pulling the strings may also be pulling yours? And how do you stay safe when someone is targeting you for murder, and even they don't know it?
"A fantastic page turner with a hugely sinister and disturbing villain at its heart" – Reviewer for FAMILY REUNION

The last time DCI Jamie Carver involved a would-be victim in his hunt for a serial killer, it ended badly. Now they want him to do it again, only this time the 'victim' is a Dominatrix. As if he hasn't enough on his plate - a brutal killer poised to strike again; shadows of the past that still haunt his dreams; an investigation under mounting pressure to succeed; a beautiful woman whose bizzare lifestyle may be the key to finding the killer. And that's not counting the young girl whose life he's trying to save from ruin, or the ambitious colleague scheming to bring him down. As the kill-count mounts, signs point to a link with Carver's first serial killer case - that of the notorious Escort Killer, Edmund Hart. But Hart is dead, having hung himself in prison, so how can that be? This is just one of the mysteries Carver must solve in this gripping first outing for the detective who knows his reputation as, "The UK's Foremost Serial Sex Crime Investigator" is built on sand. And when the killer strikes at the heart of the investigation, he knows that in order to protect those closest, he must confront what he most fears - his own failings.

Eighteen months on from the case that nearly cost him his life, only DCI Jamie Carver knows the incredible extent of the Worshipper Killer's network of depravity – and the storm that will hit when others learn of it. They include those who walk Whitehall's corridors of power, as well as others in high office, and even, maybe, the upper echelons of the Police Service itself. When former members of that network start dying, Carver suspects that someone is out to make sure that their involvement at least, remains hidden -and will stop at nothing to do so. Needing information, fast , but right now chained to a desk, his only recourse is the person who, after last time, he vowed to never have contact with again – the extraordinary and dangerously-seductive dominatrix, Megan Crane.

Family Reunion is a race-against-time thriller in which Jamie Carver must break through the wall of silence surrounding the illegal-immigrant community to save a family who don't even know they need saving. But can he succeed against an adversary as warped as any he has faced before? In eastern Europe, The Monster of Yereven has escaped the asylum, and is heading here to arrange his long-planned, Family Reunion. It won't be a joyous affair. During his years in solitary, the country's most brutal mass-murderer had plenty of time to plot his vengeance against the family that gave him up to the authorities, before fleeing for a new life, elsewhere. Still haunted by past events, Detective Jamie Carver's task is to find The Monster's family before he does. Two problems. One, no one knows who they are. Two, he's barred from operational duties. But when a trail of bodies points to the killer closing in on his prey, Carver has no choice but to go rogue, even if it risks destroying everything he holds dear!
