Faraday and Winter Books in Order

When Stuart Maloney disappears, D/I Joe Faraday is convinced it is more than a missing-person case. In an overstretched Portsmouth battered by crime, following that hunch becomes a fight for truth, and for Faraday's own peace of mind.

Joe Faraday is swamped by grief, staff shortages, and the disappearance of a disgraced gynaecologist whose past has left many possible enemies. At the same time Paul Winter is pushed to breaking point by his wife's terminal illness.

A fourteen-year-old girl falls from a tower block, while a drug dealer is found hanging from a tree. Faraday's search through broken families and neglected children becomes even harder when trouble hits close to home.

Faraday investigates the murder of a hated prison officer, only to find the case reaching back to a Falklands-era naval tragedy. To get at the truth he has to break through Navy silence and an old need for revenge.

With drug boss Bazza Mackenzie apparently turning respectable, the police launch an undercover operation to bring him down. Faraday and Winter are pulled into a murky struggle over drugs, loyalty, and who can still be trusted.

A headless corpse on the Isle of Wight sends Faraday into the brutal trade in people, from illegal labour to prostitution. Winter, meanwhile, is fighting for his career and making choices that may ruin what is left of it.

A body chained inside a railway tunnel is torn apart by the first train out of Portsmouth. As Faraday hunts a killer, Winter becomes obsessed with a separate disappearance that may be just as troubling.

Winter goes undercover inside Bazza Mackenzie's world just as Portsmouth is hit by two high-profile murders. Faraday works both enquiries, but the deeper he digs, the more dangerous Winter's double life becomes.

Disillusioned with the police, Paul Winter crosses a line and starts working for Bazza Mackenzie. Faraday is left to investigate fresh violence in a city where the boundary between law and organised crime is getting harder to see.

A brutal hit-and-run leaves one young man dead and links Faraday to a buried crime from 25 years earlier. As the case opens old wounds, Paul Winter has reasons of his own for wanting the past left alone.

After a crash in the Middle East, Faraday wakes in a hospital crowded with the wounded from Gaza and becomes fixated on helping a badly burned Palestinian girl. Back in Portsmouth, Bazza's empire is starting to crack.

Joe Faraday is dead, and his funeral brings old loyalties and new betrayals into the open. As Paul Winter turns informant and Bazza Mackenzie launches a political campaign, the Portsmouth saga heads for its reckoning.
