Book-by-Book Guide:
The Burning
A serial killer who wants to watch you burn haunts the city’s parks, and the media christens him The Burning Man as the fifth victim is discovered. Maeve Kerrigan, driven and sharp, leads the investigation through a maze of clues, red herrings, and the harrowing reality that some wounds run deeper than fire. The tension builds as suspects surface and the pace never lets up, pulling readers into a tense chase through London’s underbelly and the motives that drive a killer to such extremes.\n

The Reckoning
It’s a thin line between revenge and murder. To the public, he’s a hero: a killer who targets convicted paedophiles. Two men have already been tortured to death, and the police find themselves sidelined as public opinion sways toward vigilantism. Maeve refuses to abandon due process, insisting that justice must be unwavering and rooted in evidence. The case probes ethics, fear, and the cost of defining justice by sensational headlines, all while Maeve navigates departmental politics and personal risk.

The Last Girl
A woman and her teenage daughter are found murdered in a South London home. The girl’s throat has been cut; her mother stabbed to death. When Maeve arrives, her first instinct is that this is domestic violence, yet the investigation uncovers layered secrets and a web of possible motive. As the truth emerges, Maeve confronts the chilling realization that danger can hide behind familiar doors—and that domestic shadows can mask a far more deadly threat.

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 fallen to a sadistic killer, and with no sign of a break-in, the evidence points to deception, manipulation, and a dangerous familiarity. As Maeve closes in, the killer’s calculated control becomes personal, testing not only her professional skills but her resolve to protect the vulnerable and bring a predator to justice.

The Kill
Their job is to fight crime. Now they are the targets. A killer is terrorising London and the police find themselves in the crosshairs. Urgently reassigned to protect fellow officers while pursuing a ruthless assailant, Maeve and her colleagues race to uncover who is orchestrating the violence and why. The tension intensifies as loyalties are tested, teamwork is strained, and the line between duty and danger blurs in a race against time.
