A Yorkshire cop's reunion with old friends is marred by murder in this mystery by "the finest male English contemporary crime writer" (Val McDermid). With his longtime girlfriend, Ellie, detective Peter Pascoe is off to Thornton Lacey for an exciting weekend reunion with a few of his college friends. However, upon arrival, he finds no cause for celebration. Instead, there's been a triple homicide, and one of his friends—the chief suspect—is missing. Pascoe is eager to assist with the case, but the local constabulary doesn't seem to welcome outside help. Meanwhile, Pascoe's superior, the incorrigibly rude Andy Dalziel, needs him back home to find the culprit behind a series of burglaries. Torn between two cases and two jurisdictions, Pascoe knows he must solve these cases quickly—if not for a sense of loyalty to his friends or duty to his job, then at least for his own sanity. Ruling Passion is the 3rd book in the Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Praise for Ruling Passion "Recipe for a winner: combine the best elements of the gritty procedural with a protagonist reminiscent of Dick Francis, then add a gallery of three-dimensional town-and-country characters and repartee worthy of Rex Stout." —Kirkus Reviews

When his latest case takes him to Norfolk, he’s finally found a place he can call home. Although impatient with paperwork and dismissive of inter-agency politics, he’s a natural leader, hardworking, insightful and above all, willing to listen. His only weak spot is his adored wife, Isabelle, who seems to value her touring career more than her husband.THE SETTINGNorfolk, as Geldard often observes, seems to have more water than land. Bordered by vast, empty beaches, it is home to the unique environment of the Broads; a network of navigable rivers and man-made lakes which date from medieval times. This wetland landscape is known for its open skies, vast waterways, and diverse wildlife. Norfolk also has some of the richest farming land in the UK, growing everything from cereals to asparagus. But this idyllic environment, as Geldard knows to his cost, can hide dark secrets.

Greg Adams puts away serial killers. But now a grand-master has Greg in his sights...“An extremely gripping and fast-paced crime thriller . . . will draw you in from the very start and blindside you with disturbing twists and turns.” —The Eclectic ReviewCriminal psychologist Greg Adams once stood at the pinnacle of Scotland Yard, a hunter of serial killers whose insight turned the darkest minds inside out. Then his wife, Kate, was slaughtered by a predator known only as the Dreamer—and Greg’s world shattered. A year later, on the brink of ending everything, a stranger calls to say the Dreamer is dead—and innocent of Kate’s murder. This single doubt drags Greg back to the Yard, to Superintendent Chief Detective Donaldson and a new team, to reopen the case that destroyed him.Haunted by grief and driven by a need that borders on obsession, Greg peels back layers of lies to find a different kind of nightmare lurking beneath the Dreamer’s legend. Every new lead twists into a trap, every profile fractures into contradictions, and the line between intuition and delusion blurs as he chases a killer who understands him too well. But as time runs out and bodies begin to echo the past, Greg must confront a chilling possibility: the person who butchered Kate has been hiding in plain sight, feeding on his grief, and waiting for him to step into the dark. To solve the one case he cannot let go, he’ll have to enter a maze built from his own fears—and he might not make it out alive.“Packed full of action and there is never a dull moment. It’s easy to pick up but impossible to put down once you are in the thick of the narrative and dying to know what happens next.” —ReviewsFeedTop Amazon Reviews?????
