DI Ryan Wilkins Mysteries

Mason Simon: The Broken Afternoon / B

The Broken Afternoon

The gripping fourth book in the DI Ryan Wilkins Mysteries, which started with A Killing in November.

the razor-sharp fourth book in the DI Ryan Wilkins Mysteries

A Voice in the Night

The dynamic duo of Simon Mason's acclaimed Ryan Wilkins Mysteries return in an explosive oxford-set mystery. At 3:35 am, Greta Emmett wakes to a call from the Emergency Centre. Her husband's fall alarm had been activated five minutes ago and since then he's been unresponsive. He isn't in bed beside her and on further inspection she realises he's not even in the house. By 6:00am at St Aldates police station DCS Rebecca Wainwright, multi-decorated hero of celebrated investigations, is reading notes on her new team. On DI Ryan Wilkins she reads:&nbsp;Trailer Park boy. Mother of his infant son deceased. OD. Sees things. Do not, repeat not, give him responsibility.&nbsp;On his partner DI Ray Wilkins she reads:&nbsp;Posh boy. Lucky cop. Thinks too highly of himself. More experience needed at the wet end. Wainwright has assigned her first high profile case since arriving - the murder of a security guard at the Pelzer Institute of Egyptology - to the reliable DI Hare. Now she must deal with the death of an Elderly gentleman at a hotel in Sandford. Likely cardiac. One for the lower ranks, a perfect case for the Wilkinses. On top of these cases, there is also the spate of organised shoplifting at the Co-Op where Ryan's sister Jade works. A low priority. Until Jade, her daughter and little Ryan are threatened by the gang. How will Ray and Ryan prove themselves to their new DCS? How will Wainwright navigate the personalities that threaten to disrupt? In this fourth book in the DI Ryan Wilkins Mysteries, shocking truths and twisty turns of fate shatter the foundations of the force, only to determine new routes into Oxford's shadowy corners. PRAISE FOR SIMON MASON 'Terrific' Mick Herron 'This moody, atmospheric novel is full of surprises'&nbsp;Sunday Times&nbsp;(Crime Book of the Month) '[W]ell plotted and very funny'&nbsp;Sun 'This has a TV series written all over it'&nbsp;Daily Mail

A Killing in November is an Oxford-set crime series of surprising twists, troubled pasts and a dynamic duo who are brought together by a mysterious murder investigation.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER 2023 'As great a contribution to the noble British genre of detective fiction as any writer for decades' Stephen Fry 'This moody, atmospheric novel is full of surprises' Sunday Times (Crime Book of the Month) ---------------------------------------------------------- Ryan Wilkins grew up on a trailer park, a member of what many people would call the criminal classes. As a young Detective Inspector, he's lost none of his disgust with privileged elites - or his objectionable manners. But he notices things; they stick to his eyes. His professional partner, DI Ray Wilkins, of affluent Nigerian-London heritage, is an impeccably groomed, smooth-talking graduate of Balliol College, Oxford. You wouldn't think they would get on. They don't. But when a young woman is found strangled at Barnabas Hall, they're forced to. Rich Oxford is not Ryan's natural habitat. St Barnabas's irascible Provost does not appreciate his forceful line of questioning. But what was the dead woman doing in the Provost's study? Is it just a coincidence that on the night of her murder the college was entertaining Sheik al-Medina, a Gulf state ruler linked to human-rights abuses in his own country and acts of atrocity in others? As tensions rise, things aren't going well. Ray is in despair. Ryan is in disciplinary measures. But their investigation gradually disentangles the links between a Syrian refugee lawyer now working in the college kitchens, a priceless copy of the Koran in the college collection and the identity of the dead woman. A Killing in November introduces an unlikely duo from different sides of the tracks in Oxford in a deftly plotted murder story full of dangerous turns, troubled pasts and unconventional detective work.

a razor-sharp Oxford mystery

A Killing in November

Lost and Never Found is a novel that shows Simon Mason taking his Oxford crime series to a new level of accomplishment.

Oxford, city of rich and poor, where the homeless camp out in the shadows of the gorgeous buildings and monuments. A city of lost things - and buried crimes. At three o'clock in the morning, Emergency receives a call. 'This is Zara Fanshawe. Always lost and never found.' An hour later, the wayward celebrity's Rolls Royce Phantom is found abandoned in dingy Becket Street. The paparazzi go wild. For some reason, news of Zara's disappearance prompts homeless woman Lena Wójcik to search the camps, nervously, for the bad-tempered vagrant known as 'Waitrose', a familiar sight in Oxford pushing his trolley of possessions. But he's nowhere to be found either. Who will lead the investigation and cope with the media frenzy? Suave, prize-winning, Oxford-educated DI Ray Wilkins is passed over in favour of his partner, gobby, trailer-park educated DI Ryan Wilkins (no relation). You wouldn't think Ray would be happy. He isn't. You wouldn't think Ryan would be any good at national press presentations. He isn't. And when legendary cop Chester Lynch (Black female Deputy Chief Constable from the wrong side of the tracks) takes a shine to Ray - and takes against Ryan - things are only going to get even messier.

Lost and Never Found

"A four-year-old girl goes missing in plain sight outside her nursery in Oxford, a middle-class, affluent area, her mother only a stones-throw away. Ryan Wilkins, one of the youngest ever Detective Inspectors in the Thames Valley force, dishonourably discharged three months ago, watches his former partner DI Ray Wilkins deliver a press conference, confirming a lead. Ray begins to delve deeper, unearthing an underground network of criminal forces in the local area. But while Ray's investigation stalls Ryan brings his unique talents to unofficial and quite illegal inquiries which will bring him into a confrontation with the very officials who have thrown him out of the force."--Publisher.
