THE NEWEST THRILLER IN THE DS ADAM TYLER SERIES, FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FIREWATCHING
'Clever and ingenious, I was gripped’ SAM HOLLAND
‘One of the best detective novels I’ve read in a long time . . . Russ Thomas is an exceptional talent’ LESLEY KARA
_____________________________
THE LIES OF THE PAST . . .
When an anonymous tip lands on his desk, DS Adam Tyler is intrigued in spite of himself. The disappearance of a young mother twenty-four years ago was big news, but the case was never solved – this tantalizing new lead is something he simply can’t ignore. But the letter has set in motion a dangerous chain of events, and Tyler’s search for the truth soon leaves him fighting for his life.
. . . LIVE IN THE PRESENT
With Tyler out of action, DC Mina Rabbani must step up to lead the Cold Case Review Unit in his absence, retracing Tyler’s steps and uncovering his secrets to figure out what he was working on. But as she begins to put the pieces together, the case starts to hit frighteningly close to home. Without DS Tyler to protect her, Mina realizes that now she’s the one with hard choices to make.
And this time she’s on her own.
‘From the first page to the last the only things sleeping around here were the dogs! This is everything I want from a thriller – tense, devious, and deliciously wicked’ NICK CURRAN
‘One of the best police procedural series in recent years . . . Addictive, immersive, and an absolute must for any crime fiction fans’ ROBERT RUTHERFORD
‘Another cracking and compulsive thriller from Russ Thomas . . . Guaranteed to delight’ HEATHER CRITCHLOW
‘At last, a police procedural with real emotional depth, a heart rending plot that hooks from the first page and, in Tyler and Mina, a very charismatic cast’ CARO RAMSAY
‘For anyone who loves to binge a series, here’s your next obsession . . . Thomas goes from strength to strength!’ JO FURNISS
Brimming with character and tension, the DS Adam Tyler series is perfect for fans of Tana French, Adrian McKinty and M. W. Craven:

PRAISE FOR SLEEPING DOGS:
‘Sleeping Dogs – as with the entire Adam Tyler series – has such an immense sense of place and character that I was swept up in it. Sheffield and the surrounds come to vivid life on the page. Each member of the team are thought out with tremendous precision and a perfect sense of understanding . . . I cannot recommend this and the entire series highly enough. This one deserves all the plaudits it gets!’ James Delargy

‘You can't beat a good detective series, and DS Adam Tyler is up there with the best of them. Sleeping Dogs is seriously good . . . Russ Thomas just keeps getting better. Keep them coming!’ Roxie Key
‘Russ Thomas has a gift for making shocking events believable and human. With Sleeping Dogs, he takes characters we already know and love to new and ambitious places, with a layered and twisting plot, and he makes it all look effortless.
