It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked. 
 
The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life. 
 
Why were they left in the house alone? Where is their mother, and why is their father not answering his phone? 
 
Then new evidence is discovered, and DI Fawley's worst nightmare comes true. 
 
Because this fire wasn't an accident. 
 
It was murder.

No Way Out

HOW CAN A CHILD VANISH WITHOUT A TRACE? 
 
Last night, eight-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a family party. No one in the quiet suburban street saw anything - or at least that's what they're saying. 
 
DI Adam Fawley is trying to keep an open mind. But he knows the nine times out of ten, it's someone the victim knew. 
 
That means someone is lying... 
And that Daisy's time is running out.

Close to Home

A woman and child are found locked in a basement room, barely alive ... 
 
No one knows who they are - the woman can't speak, and there are no missing persons reports that match their profile. The elderly man who owns the house claims he has never seen them before. 
 
The inhabitants of the quiet Oxford street are in shock - how could this happen right under their noses? But DI Adam Fawley knows that nothing is impossible. 
 
And that no one is as innocent as they seem . . .

In The Dark

She has everything at stake; he has everything to lose. But one of them is lying, all the same. 
 
When an Oxford student accuses one of the university's professors of sexual assault, DI Adam Fawley's team think they've heard it all before. But they couldn't be more wrong. 
 
Because this time, the predator is a woman and the shining star of the department, and the student a six-foot male rugby player. 
 
Soon DI Fawley and his team are up against the clock to figure out the truth. What they don't realise is that someone is watching. 
 
And they have a plan to put Fawley out of action for good...
