Book 1 Murder is a Tricky Business by Phillip Strang 3.41 · 502 Ratings · 49 Reviews · published 2016 · 2 editions
There’s a secret, that much is certain, but who knows? The missing actress? The executive producer, his eavesdropping assistant? Or the actor who portrayed her fictional brother on the Soap Opera? DCI Isaac Cook of the Murder Investigation Team at Challis Street Police Station in London is searching for the missing woman. Why has he been taken away from more important crimes to search for the woman? It’s not the first time she’s gone missing, and why does everyone assume she’s been murdered?

Book 2 Murder House by Phillip Strang 4.00 · 299 Ratings · 23 Reviews · 2 editions
A corpse in the fireplace of an old house. It’s been there for thirty years, but who is it?

It’s clearly murder, but who is the murdered person and what connection does the body have to the previous owners of the house.

And then why a fireplace? It was bound to be discovered eventually but was that what the murderer wanted?

The main suspects are all old and dying, or already dead. Yet again, there’s a motive, but what is it?

Isaac Cook and his team have their work cut out trying to put the pieces together. Those who know are not talking out of an old-fashioned belief in that a family’s dirty laundry is not to be aired in public, and certainly not to a policeman - even if that means the murderer is never brought to justice!

Book 3 Murder is Only a Number by Phillip Strang 4.25 · 232 Ratings · 19 Reviews · 2 editions
Before she left she carved a number in blood on his chest. But why the number 2, if this was her first murder?

A woman stalks London. She kills at will. Her targets are men who have wronged her, or have they?

What is behind her hatred and why is she keeping count?

DCI Cook and his team know who she is, at least after she has killed the first four, but the woman disappears in plain sight. The pressure’s on to stop her, but she’s always one step ahead.

And this time, DCS Goddard can’t protect his protégé, Isaac Cook, from the wrath of the new commissioner at the Met.

Book 4 Murder in Little Venice by Phillip Strang 4.12 · 238 Ratings · 19 Reviews · 2 editions
A dismembered corpse floats in the canal in Little Venice, an upmarket tourist haven in London. The identity is unknown, but what is the significance?

DCI Isaac Cook is baffled as to why it’s there. Is it gang-related, or is it something more?

Whatever the reason, it’s clearly a warning, and Isaac and his team are sure it’s not the last body that they’ll have to deal with.

Book 5 Murder is the Only Option by Phillip Strang 4.16 · 191 Ratings · 17 Reviews · 2 editions
He was thought to be dead, until he returns to exact revenge against those who had blighted his life. His only concern is to protect his wife and daughter. He will stop at nothing to achieve his aim..

‘Big Greg, I never expected to see you around here at this time of night.’

‘I’ve told you enough times.’

‘I’ve no idea what you’re talking about,’ Robertson replied. He looked up at the man, only to see a metal pole coming down at him. Robertson fell down, cracking his head against a concrete kerb.

The two vagrants, no more than twenty feet away, did not stir and did not even look in the direction of the noise. If they had, they would have seen a dead body, another man walking away.
