IN THIS NINE-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 11: THE WHISPERING WOMAN
Paula Rivers, a young cinema cashier, is selling tickets when her sister Eileen is forced to deliver a threatening note to her. Then Paula is found murdered, shot from behind. Detective Budd is called in to investigate. He starts with the mysterious woman who forced Eileen to deliver the note. But who is she? And is this just the start?

BOOK 12: MR MIDNIGHT
Gordon Cross, crime reporter at the Daily Clarion, is on the case to find the man known as Mr Midnight. He’s suspected of multiple robberies and murders. With the help of Budd, the investigation leads them to a nightclub, The Yellow Orchid. But the revellers they speak to start getting picked off one by one. Budd must work fast to catch the killer.

BOOK 13: THE NURSERY RHYME MURDERS
A body has been found in a derelict house in the pretty village of Marbury. Pinned to the door is the nursery rhyme ‘The House That Jack Built’. Budd starts to investigate and then another body is found poisoned in their bed with the same nursery rhyme scrawled on the door. Can Budd stop the killer before their next kill?

BOOK 14: THE LAST WARNING
Budd is looking for a murderer with a thirst for revenge. One man has been stabbed, two of his business associates threatened. Then another is murdered in a locked room with police outside. Who hated these men enough to kill them? Budd must figure out the motive to prevent more murders.

BOOK 15: THE RED TAPE MURDERS
Budd is investigating the death of a solicitor strangled with red tape. Then two more local solicitors are murdered in the same way. Budd discovers these murders are connected to the same incident — a suicide two years ago. But who is seeking vengeance? And can Budd put a stop to them in time?

BOOK 16: MURDER IN MANUSCRIPT
Budd is faced with his most difficult case yet. A mysterious man is murdered in Barnet. There is no motive. Then a typist is found murdered in a similar way. The two victims had just one thing in common — copies of an unpublished manuscript. But what was in the manuscript that would lead to murder?

BOOK 17: SIX MEN DIED
A hit-and-run in the quaint village of Little Ditching is the start of a killing spree. Budd must stop the killer. But the village’s residents are unwilling to help with his investigation. He’s convinced one of them is the killer . . . and one is the next victim.

BOOK 18: MISTER BIG
One name is connected to all major crimes in the last year – Mister Big. And Budd is determined to unmask him. When a witness comes forward who has seen Mister Big leaving the scene of a murder, Budd’s case is blown open. But before the witness can tell Budd, he is murdered. His death will be the one thing to lead Budd to the truth.

BOOK 19: THE SEVENTH VIRGIN
Budd is under pressure to stop millions of counterfeit notes entering circulation. The investigation is going nowhere, until a body is recovered from the Thames. But this is no ordinary body. It’s a dummy stuffed with thousands of bank notes. But a real corpse is found further downriver, and Budd knows he’s found the link to finally crack the case.
