Роман «Скотланд-Ярд» — детектив-бестселлер. Роман повествует о нескольких днях во времена самого трудного периода английской полиции – расследования дела Джека Потрошителя. Один из полицейских жестоко убит, а его товарищам предстоит раскрыть это убийство за одни сутки. На фоне скептицизма лондонцев, которые больше не верят в полицию (ведь тень непойманного Потрошителя стоит у каждого дома) разворачивается стремительный триллер, в котором найдется место не только обитателям трущоб, полицейским, бандитам и безумным танцовщикам, но и захватывающему описанию открытия дактилоскопии.

In one night Rasputin was poisoned, beaten, stabbed, shot in the head, and drowned, then tied up and thrown in a frozen river. But how did he get from Siberia to the Winter Palace? And why did it take so much hard work to kill him?

Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad—and Jack the Ripper—return, in the extraordinary new historical thriller from the author of the acclaimed national bestseller The Yard.

In The Devil’s Workshop, London discovered that Jack the Ripper was back, sending the city—and Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad—into chaos. But now it is even worse. Not only is the Ripper still at large, but so is another killer just as bad.

For Inspector Walter Day, it has been a difficult time. His wife has given birth to twins, his hostile in-laws have come to stay, and a leg injury has kept him at his desk. But when the Harvest Man begins killing, carving people’s faces off their skulls, the Yard knows they need Day in the field.

Not so Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith. Rash actions have cost him his job, but that doesn’t stop his obsessive hunt for the Ripper. When the mutilated bodies of prostitutes start turning up again, Hammersmith enlists the help of a criminal network to stop Saucy Jack, his methods carrying him further and further from the ideals of the Yard, so far in fact that he may never be able to find his way back.
Of course, the Ripper’s been playing a game with him—with Walter Day, as well. He is pushing both of them to their limits, and what happens when they get there . . . no one can say.

When State Trooper Skottie Foster moves back home to rural Kansas with her daughter, she's hoping for a new start. But then a chance encounter on a snowy highway changes everything.

Travis Roan is a Nazi hunter, and he needs her help. Roan suspects this isolated region is home to one of the second world war's most infamous killers, Rudolph Bormann - and he knows that if it's true, Bormann isn't one to give in without a fight.

He doesn't know who he is or how long he has been here.

He doesn't even know his name.

All he knows is that someone has left the cell door open . . .

Nevil Hammersmith is a former Metropolitan Police sergeant. He became a private detective when his colleague Walter Day went missing investigating the Ripper case. He's been looking for Day for an entire year, but it is as if his friend has completely vanished from the streets of London.

No one has heard from the Ripper in a long time.

No one knows when he will strike again.

That's just how he wants it.

For the Ripper has plans for the city and the man in the cell - the man he believes is just like himself . . .

From the author of The Yard, The Black Country, and the forthcoming The Devil's Workshop - the first three titles in the Scotland Yard Murder Squad series - comes a Murder Squad short story.

October 1889: Constable Colin Pringle is a man of few illusions, but there is something about the girl in the canal, her skin a delicate shade of blue, that bothers him more than he expected it would. Perhaps it's because Dr. Kingsley's forensic examination suggests that she was a just-married bride. Someone needs to find out just who she was and what happened to her, Pringle decides, and he sets out to do exactly that. But the answers will not be anything like what he expects. In fact, they will shake his view of the world to the core.

London, 1890. A small group of the city's elite, fed up with the murder rate, have made it their business to capture violent criminals and mete out their own terrible brand of retribution. Now they are taking it a step further: They have arranged for four murderers to escape from prison, and into the group's hands.
But the plan goes wrong. The killers elude them, and now it is up to Walter Day, Nevil Hammersmith, and the rest of Scotland Yard's Murder Squad to hunt the convicts down before they can resume their bloody spree. But the Murder Squad may already be too late. The killers have retribution in mind, and one of them is heading straight toward a member of the Murder Squad, and his family.

And that isn't even the worst of it. During the escape, one of the killers has stumbled upon the location of another notorious murderer, one thought gone for good, but who is now prepared to join forces with them.

And Saucy Jack has learned some new tricks while he's been away.
