Down a Narrow Path
DI Hillary Greene is feeling the strain. A sniper is on the loose, killing police officers all over the UK, and the atmosphere at Thames Valley Police HQ is understandably tense.

Hillary soon learns that the victim was universally unpopular and suspects are thick on the ground.Things don't get any better when she learns DC Keith Barrington has been keeping secrets and has the potential to be very disruptive to her team. Things too are coming to a head with her extremely competent, if very underhanded sergeant, Gemma Fordham.But even as Hillary searches for a vicious and cold-blooded killer, a tragic event is looming on the horizon that will rock her world. Is this going to be the end for her?
The Work of a Narrow Mind
When ex-DI Hillary Greene, now working for the cold case squad, is handed the case of the murder of a harmless old woman, who'd been brutally battered to death in her own home, she is determined to track down the killer. But with her lover pressing her for an answer to his proposal of marriage, and a new boss to break in, it's not going to be easy, especially when one of the newer members of her team seems to have his own private agenda for being at Thames Valley. An agenda that is leading him inexorably into very big trouble indeed. It's a good job then that Hillary is a multi-tasker - nobody is going to get away with murder on her watch.

By a Narrow Majority
"When a would-be politician is found battered to death in his kitchen, DI Hillary Greene is not convinced that the motive is political. After all, the victim was not universally popular in the small village where he lived, and it quickly transpires that he was having an affair. But then Hillary, working on another case, is abruptly and violently prevented from continuing with the murder investigation. Instead, another problem takes over all her time - a problem that could have serious ramifications for both herself, and her superiors. For Hillary knows only too well, cops don't like it when they themselves come under investigation."--BOOK JACKET.
