Ashes and Bone ( DCI Marlin #1)
In 1998, he helped DCI Peter Marlin catch Mark Rennie, a serial killer, who targeted young women at the University of East London.
Now Dr Al spends his time in the company of prostitutes and drinking far too much.
Then one day, DCI Marlin reappears, needing help.
A series of murders is rocking London, and the only thing they have in common is how cleanly they have been executed.
Thinking he might get a book out of it, Andrews agrees to help.
Al is having a hard time putting a profile together due to the lack of clues.
At first it looks like there have been seven deaths in seven days, and he wonders if there is a connection to the religious meanings for each day.
It’s all he’s really got to share with Marlin.
Then he gets an email from a man called the Phantom. It brings back memories of the Phantom of Texarkana, a serial killer from 1946 who was never caught.
With the Phantom taunting him, now Dr Al is a target, and Marlin arranges for a patrol car to sit outside his home, where he is holed up with Lara, a prostitute who is now his girlfriend.
The body count rises as Al remains behind locked doors, meanwhile, something is not adding up.
Marlin doesn’t think the prostitutes who are being murdered are connected to the Phantom’s victims.
Neither does his girlfriend, Detective Sue Scott, who is becoming more and more convinced that besides being a criminalist, Dr Al might also be a criminal.
And when Lara’s roommate is murdered in her flat, the case comes close to home.
Dr Al’s fingerprints are at two murder scenes, but is someone trying to frame him, or is he a serial killer, too?
Marlin’s not buying that and Sue Scott is certain the Phantom is not the only killer, but will either one be caught?
Ashes and Bone is a chilling psychological thriller that makes you question everything you think you know.
Written In Blood ( DCI Marlin #2)
Aldous ‘Al’ Andrews is a psychologist. Having worked on some high-profile murder cases, he’s gained some fame. Now, his own past is in question…
Al’s wife Anne and her lover Steve disappeared many years earlier, on a trip to Boston.
One of the men he helped put away, a serial killer named Mark Rennie, insists Al killed them.
And now DCI Marlin is looking into matters. Just as he’s asking Al some uncomfortable questions, a body is found at a home in Stratford, a home, curiously enough, once owned by Al.
But when another body shows up, and Al can’t remember what he did, things are as scary as they were when Rennie was hunting them.
But Rennie’s dead, isn’t he?
When the body found at Al’s old flat turns out to be a former cop, no one knows what to think.
But when bodies start showing up with numbers painted above them, and Marlin discovers the victims are all connected to Al and Rennie, it starts to look like a hit list of some kind.
Al and Lara decide to go away for the weekend to escape and when Al is identified by a beautiful woman, Sarah, alarm bells ring, and he knows she is connected to Rennie.
But how? And what does she want?
As the body count rises, Marlin grows more and more convinced that his friend Al might have a few demons in his own past, especially when Al’s wife Anne and her lover Steve are found dead.
But if Rennie is going to be stopped, Marlin needs Al’s help to get inside his mind.
All too soon it becomes apparent that Sarah is not just a pretty face.
And now that she and Rennie are a couple, who knows what they will do, or if they’ll ever be caught…
Deadly Intent ( DCI Marlin #3)
Mark Rennie is a serial killer. After taking the lives of four women during his college years, he’s now a free man…
While in prison, he wrote a book attempting to clear his name, as he wants to change his image. He also wants revenge on the people who put him away.
Dr Aldous ‘Al’ Andrews wrote the profile that led to Rennie being caught. He also wrote a book about the case, becoming a little bit famous in the process.
When he sees Rennie walking free, he knows his old nemesis is in no way a changed man.
DCI Peter Marlin helped bring Rennie to justice. While working on another case with Al, the case of a serial killer named the Phantom who targeted prostitutes, fellow DCI Sue Scott was killed.
Scott believed that Al was a likely suspect in the killings, and when she died, with Al nearby, Marlin started to wonder about his friend and colleague, Dr. Al.
It’s not too long before Rennie is on the talk show circuit, peddling his book. When he appears on the Linda Dear Show, Dr Al is also a guest.
Al hopes to show the world that Rennie is still an evil, twisted man, but Rennie gets the upper hand, making a fool of Al. It’s now a battle between the two, a battle that will only end in death.
Jeff Stanley is a reporter for the Herald. Tired of hack journalism, he decides to write a series of articles about the people connected to the Phantom case, and reveal the kinky secrets he discovers. And no one is safe, including Lara, Al’s young, gorgeous girlfriend, Al, Rennie and DCI Marlin.
When a body appears, a body bearing the same MO as the now dead Phantom, DCI Marlin is not sure what to think. Marlin is not sure if they have a copycat, or if maybe the Phantom was the wrong man to begin with.
And when he learns one of the dead prostitutes had been booked by a man named Al Andrews, Marlin and the police take notice.
Marlin has his work set out for him, as more bodies show up, and all with a tale to tell. But when Rennie sets his sights on Lara, he goes too far, and Al takes the law into his own hands.
In the end, it comes down to a battle between Al and Rennie, but it turns out some people just aren’t that easy to kill…
