Charlie Pegg was a wanted man.

A skilled joiner, he had full access to the homes of many wealthy figures, including Old Mead Park, a luxury block of flats that is home to the notorious gangster, Jim Berridge.

With his insider’s access and personable charm, Pegg made the ideal informant.

Listening to voicemails and inspecting the houses, he supplied valuable tip-offs to the police.

But the police can’t offer him any protection from the criminals he uncovered.

A ‘snout’ has plenty of enemies – enemies who know how to kill, and how to cover their tracks.

When Pegg’s body is found stabbed in a gutter on his way to deliver his latest intel, it quickly becomes clear that this was a professional job by trained killers.

For Superintendent Lambert and Sergeant Hook, this will not be a straight-forward case. There will be no cooperation from the criminal underworld.

What secret was Pegg about to reveal? And which of his enemies would go so far as to kill to protect it?

Starting with Pegg’s tip-off, Lambert and Hook must pick up his trail and follow his leads to find the killer.

But when their chief suspect is shot dead in his car, the trail runs cold...

Death of a Nobody’ is a gripping crime thriller featuring the popular detective duo, Lambert and Hook.

A body is found in Broughton Ash churchyard.

Male, middle-aged, well-dressed, but with no identification.

Only one fact is certain — he was murdered.

Superintendent John Lambert and Detective Sergeant Bert Hook must set about identifying their un-named victim.

To their surprise, they find he is Ted Giles – a well liked chemistry teacher at the local school.

Beginning their questioning, the pair find that Giles had a secret life, one that he was desperate to hide.

A wealth of female visitors, and an influx of tens of thousands of pounds, lead them to the Rendezvous club.

An escort service that provided Giles with a string of new women - and the police with a wealth of new suspects.

Sue Giles, his ex-wife, from whom he had refused to divorce.

Constance Elson, a divorcée who frequently employed Giles’s services.

And Zoe Ross, the lover who he promised to give up his sideline work for.

Each woman has their own motive, but who committed the crime?

Malice Aforethought’ is another Lambert and Hook thriller from a master of British crime writing.

The lurid news of ‘The Sacristan’ had plagued the headlines for months.

Victims' bodies were deposited in quiet churches or graveyards.

When the body of a beautiful young woman is found in Hereford Cathedral, it appears he has struck again.

Appointed to the case, DSI Lambert and DS Hook soon come to realise however that nothing about this case — or indeed its victim — is as straightforward as it first appears…

Delving into the history of the victim - Tamsin Rennie - they discover a number of sinister characters, each with their own dark motives.

But what’s more disturbing is that this murder bears little resemblance to The Sacristan Murders.

They suspect that a resourceful new killer is within their midst.

With little known about this new assailant, and a number of potential suspects, Lambert and Hook have to solve one of the most puzzling cases they have ever encountered.

'An Unsuitable Death' is a gripping crime thriller that promises to surprise readers at every turn.
