A body unearthed in the ruins of an Edinburgh hotel, cold for five years before anyone thought to look again. A young woman shot dead outside the US Open, connecting two tennis players and a murder nobody wanted to solve. A teenager snatched from a Brighton football stadium while fifty thousand people watched. And Harry Bosch in Los Angeles, digging into a case his superiors have already decided to bury. Bosch, Bolitar, Grace and Rebus. Four detectives who share one quality above all others: they do not stop. This is crime fiction at its most propulsive and four writers who know that the most dangerous thing a detective can do is care too much.
Harlan Coben, Drop Shot - A tennis prodigy shot dead outside the US Open, and a sports agent who cannot leave it alone.
Ian Rankin, The Black Book - A body uncovered in the ruins of an Edinburgh hotel and a notebook someone will kill to recover.
Michael Connelly - The Black Ice - Harry Bosch is ordered to walk away from a dead narcotics cop, something he has never done before.
Peter James - Dead If You Don't - When a teenage boy disappears from a Brighton football stadium, Roy Grace has never felt the clock run faster.
