We've now had the fifth, sixth and seventh in the series go free in the not too distant past - I wonder if I missed the first through fourth? And fingers crossed that maybe they'll start over again from the beginning. Although I do have most of the series from when Endeavour Press was putting them free from time to time...

The seventh, and final, tale in Keating’s ‘Hard Detective’ series sees Harriet battle self-doubt as she pursues a would-be killer.
Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens resolves to resign when a new assistant chief constable makes her feel inferior. However, her thoughts of resignation cease abruptly when pro-hunting politician Robert Roughouse is struck down at an anti-hunting demonstration. Harriet sees this as a murder attempt, and seeing an opportunity to prove her worth to the ACC, takes charge of the investigation.
Unsure what lies behind the attempted assassination, Harriet goes to interview Roughouse in hospital. But he's not there. Overnight, somebody has moved him to the privately-owned Masterton Clinic.
When Harriet is also denied access to Roughouse at the Masterson, she begins to wonder just who is behind the case, and how they are managing to stay so very well hidden …
Rules, Regs and Rotten Eggs is a fascinating police procedural that looks beyond the standard elements to explore Harriet’s inner psyche as she seeks to prove her value within a male-dominated environment. It’s a good choice for readers familiar with the ‘Hard Detective’ series, but works equally well as a stand-alone novel.
