Aden Vanner

An unflinching look at a detective's fruitless search for answers In all his years of experience, Detective Chief Inspector Aden Vanner has never had a case that nags him and haunts him as much as the Watchman case. Despite the time he has poured into the investigation, he's come away with very few leads-and the pressure finally causes him to snap. During questioning, Vanner violently beats a prisoner and is suspended from the police force.   Vanner is a creature of the alleyways and streets of London, unafraid to bend the law in order to get results. But his independent streak sets him in the crosshairs of the Complaints Investigation Bureau, which suspects that Vanner's personal connection to the Watchman case is keeping him from making any progress. Now, in order to clear his name, Vanner must capture the elusive Watchman.   Sleep No More is the first thriller in the Aden Vanner trilogy, which also includes Sorted and Close Quarters.

Detective Inspector Aden Vanner is back on the case Nights often turn out differently than you expect them to-an observation made many times by maverick detective Aden Vanner. Since his demotion from the rank of detective chief inspector, Vanner's been drowning his sorrows at the local pub, debating what to do next. But when he's savagely beaten by a couple of unknown assailants, Vanner's decision is made for him.   These aren't your garden-variety thugs: They have connections . . . deep ones. As Vanner discovers the reasons behind his beating, he must lead a drug task force in tracking down the ecstasy and acid suppliers responsible. Informed by his research with the Metropolitan Police Department, Jeff Gulvin brings readers into London with a level of detail that is both frightening and unforgettable.   Sorted is the second thriller in the Aden Vanner trilogy, which also includes Close Quarters and Sleep No More.

A woman has been murdered in a professional hit. Now the only question is Why? At first glance, Jessica Turner seems every bit the typical London woman. Sure, she isn't in the perfect relationship, but she still loves her man, Alec. So why, one rainy evening, was she cruelly gunned down on her front steps in a professional hit? This is the question that will haunt Detective Inspector Aden Vanner.   Close Quarters marks a rousing return to Jeff Gulvin's rough London streets, beginning with Harlesden, the city's traditionally Caribbean district, where Vanner is investigating a group of crack dealers. When he hears about Jessica's murder, Vanner is pressed to find the connections that no one else can see. As he digs deeper into the case, he begins to find connections between her murder and the Harlesden gang, and between Alec, the IRA, and an old acquaintance with revenge on the mind.   Close Quarters is the third thriller in the Aden Vanner trilogy, which also includes Sorted and Sleep No More.
