THE MCDEAD
A man's been found battered to death in a seedy room in
Stockwell. Nothing unusual about that, except that the
victim is Chief Inspector Roberts's brother, Tony. They've
not spoken for a decade, but still, family's family, and
revenge is something Roberts can relate to. Across the
patch, Detective Sergeant Brant visits his snitch, Spiros,
on the trail of merciless Irish gangster Tommy Logan, a
ruthless low-life with 'no respect for the police or for
anybody.' Meanwhile, WPC Falls - black and pretty - is
staked out as decoy for the Clapham Rapist, a serial
attacker with the hots for Afro-Carribean women.
TAMING THE ALIEN
Detective Sergeant Brant and his boss, Inspector Roberts
are the R&B of the Metropolitan police - and as sleazy and
ruthless as the villains they are out to get. They take us
on a trawl through the streets of London, Dublin and New
York.
A WHITE ARREST
A ground-breaking novel in police-procedural, but this is
no well-ordered 57th Precinct romp. Centred around the
corrupt and seedy worlds of Detective Sergeant Brandt and
Chief Inspector Roberts, A White Arrest concerns itself
with the search for The Umpire, a cricket-obsessed serial
killer that is wiping out the England team. And to add
insult to injury a group of vigilantes appear to to doing
the police's job for them by stringing up drug-dealers.
and the police like it even less than the victims.
