All the Rage
History doesn't repeat itself. Does it? A distressed teenage girl is found on the outskirts of Oxford. The story she tells is terrifying: grabbed off the street, a plastic bag forced over her head, then driven somewhere remote and subjected to an assault. DI Adam Fawley is doing the best he can to investigate, but the teenager refuses to press charges. All he can do is try to ignore the sickening feeling he's seen something like this before...
No Way Out
It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked. The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life. Why were they left in the house alone? Where is their mother, and why is their father not answering his phone?
Close to Home
HOW CAN A CHILD GO MISSING WITHOUT A TRACE? Last night, eight-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a family party. No one in the quiet suburban street saw anything - or at least that's what they're saying. DI Adam Fawley is trying to keep an open mind.
In The Dark
A woman and child are found locked in a basement room, barely alive. No one knows who they are - the woman can't speak, and there are no missing persons reports that match their profile. The elderly man who owns the house claims he has never seen them before. The inhabitants of the quiet Oxford street are in shock. How could this happen right under their noses?

This is book 4 of the DI Adam Fawley series but can be read as a standalone.
Set in Oxford, Faith Appleyard is found wandering along the roadside by a taxi driver after being kidnapped and looking in a terrible state. She refuses to see a doctor or go to the police so he takes her home and then phones the police himself.
Why does she not want to go to the police, what is she hiding?
DI Adam Fawley then takes the investigation visits Miss Appleyard who brushes it off as an April Fools prank that got out of hand, while her mother and others that are questioned are equally dismissive.
Another girl has gone missing, will this one come home, Adam must work fast if there is any chance of it.
This is the first book in the DI Adam Fawley series I have read and it was thoroughly gripping. It was disturbing, suspenseful and had me work through a multitude of emotions.
What I liked about this book is that it highlights the difficulties a transgender person has when trying to live their life and how horrible some small-minded people can be due to it. Having seen this prejudice by people in real life who don’t understand or do not want to understand this book is a good eye-opener for those that haven’t experienced it from either side. But there is so much more to the story than that. It was captivating.

I loved the other three books in the DI Fawley series and was excited for book 4 and it didn't disappoint. I couldn't put it down. Brilliant story which is pacy and twisty with strong characters who have become like old friends. I'm already so excited for book number 5.
