Detective Inspector Ryan Wilkins has never fit in. Raised in a trailer park, he has little patience for privilege or the Oxford elites who protect their own. His partner, DI Ray Wilkins, is everything he’s not—polished, smooth-talking, and a Balliol College graduate. They don’t get along, but when a woman is found strangled in a prestigious college, they have no choice but to work together.
The case pulls them into a web of secrets involving a Syrian refugee, a priceless Koran, and a powerful Gulf ruler with blood on his hands. As tensions rise and disciplinary measures loom, the two detectives must unravel the truth before it’s buried forever.
Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger, A Killing in November (4.3 stars on Amazon) is a razor-sharp Oxford mystery perfect for fans of Mick Herron and Tana French.
