Days earlier, the victim had clashed violently with Sam, Gillard's pregnant partner, turning a routine murder enquiry into something altogether more personal for the detective. As the investigation deepens, whispers begin circulating through London's criminal underworld about a \"big job\" reaching the Met's Flying Squad: something worth an estimated £500 million is about to be stolen. Gillard must untangle how the theft, the body under the overpass, and a web of deceit and old grudges are connected, all while safeguarding those he loves most. Nick Louth writes in brisk, punchy prose, delivering gritty realism, credible police procedure, and a morally grey cast where every lead could prove a trap. Readers will feel the tension mount as Gillard's team chases shadows through the capital, following threads from petty criminals to something far more sinister. The emotional heart of the novel lies in Sam's safety and Gillard's unwavering determination, making this both a relentless page-turner and a study in resilience under pressure. Whether a long-time follower of the series or a newcomer to DCI Gillard, you'll relish the precision plotting, layered antagonists, and the way loyalty, guilt, and truth collide until the final pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEleventh book in the acclaimed DCI Craig Gillard crime thriller series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced police procedural with a high-stakes underworld heist plot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic London setting with credible, detailed investigative work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonal stakes raise the tension as Gillard's own family is threatened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect gift for fans of British crime fiction and detective mysteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNick Louth is a million-selling thriller author and award-winning financial journalist.

From a body dredged out of a marsh to a corpse discovered in a stairwell, each instalment plunges the dogged detective into a fresh mystery layered with buried secrets, small-town tension, and razor-sharp procedural detail. Ideal for crime fans wanting an entire series to devour in order, this brand-new paperback set delivers eleven complete standalone mysteries bound together by one unforgettable investigator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDCI Craig Gillard first appears investigating the disappearance of a criminologist's wife in The Body in the Marsh, and from there Nick Louth builds an addictive run of Surrey-set mysteries that never loses momentum. Each book stands alone as a complete case, yet Gillard's personal life and growing reputation thread quietly through the series, rewarding readers who work through the collection in order. Settings shift constantly: tidal shorelines, snowbound woodland, a tide-cut island, a crumbling country estate, a riverside beneath overhanging willows, and finally a quiet housing block stairwell, each location becoming as much a character as the victims and suspects themselves. Louth writes with the pace and authority of a former Reuters foreign correspondent, layering forensic accuracy and plausible police process beneath twisty, compulsively readable plots. Gillard is a classic modern detective: methodical, quietly stubborn, and prone to bending the rules when instinct overrides procedure, which puts him at odds with senior officers even as he closes in on the truth. Fans of Robert Bryndza and Patricia Gibney will recognise the same blend of dark subject matter and page-turning pace here. This complete run gives readers the full arc of Gillard's career to date in one brand-new paperback set, perfect for a long reading project or a gift for a devoted crime fiction fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete eleven-book run of the bestselling DCI Craig Gillard Crime Thrillers, in series order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new paperback set, ideal for starting the series from book one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtmospheric Surrey settings paired with authentic, well-researched police procedure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of Robert Bryndza and Patricia Gibney.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNick Louth is a bestselling British thriller writer and award-winning financial journalist from Lincolnshire.
