|title=So Nude, So Dead
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=What's in a name? A lot if you decide to call your book ''So Nude, So Dead''. This is a title to conjure with, what on Earth is it about? As this is a ''Hard Case'' title it is likely to be hardboiled and not adverse to a little violence and titillation. However, consider that the book was once call ''The Evil Sleep!'' and has since been renamed; is this more a case of the title selling the book rather than accurately portraying its content?

|summary=Bill Hodges is a retired cop, spiralling down into a seemingly inescapable depression. Stuck at home each day watching dreadful American daytime TV, toying with the idea of shooting himself, it is only with the sudden arrival of a letter claiming to be from someone who committed an unsolved multiple murder, one of Hodges’ old cases, that he finds a new interest in staying alive. Is this actually the murderer? Why is he crawling out of the woodwork now? And can Hodges stop him from killing again?

|title=The Detective's Secret
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=Two 'hurricanes' link this story. There was the one in October 1987 which wasn't going to happen, but did and as it happened a man lay dying, locked inside an old water tower in west London. He had no identification, no one of his description was registered as missing and the body was never claimed. When the body was discovered there was a single, black glove on his back. In October 2103 there was the St Jude's storm. Late one night on the Piccadilly line a man seemed to jump beneath an oncoming train. Jack Harmon saw what happened and was sure that it was suicide, but the man's brother was convinced that it was murder.
