In the meantime, Hawke is on the case of a mysterious suicide in Edgware Road... soon discovered as not your average suicide.

Churchyard and Hawke
HISTORICAL MYSTERIES. After taking a serious beating whilst engaged in unofficial undercover work in London's 19th century slums, Constable Tom Churchyard takes himself to Cornwall. Here, in spite of his injuries he becomes right-hand man to Amos Hawke, now a senior Cornish policeman. His knowledge of the London rogues proves invaluable as Amos seeks to foil a gang of city thieves. Then a brutal murder is committed during their investigations. "Churchyard and Hawke" is an exciting and insightful novel of the years when the Cornwall Constabulary was in its infancy.
The Contract
Once a decorated cop, Hawke has fallen from grace and has turned private investigator to make ends meet. His first case is a simple one: follow the woman, Maddie, and get pictures of her having an affair. But nothing is that simple. Hawke is forced to intervene when the Maddie is almost kidnapped right in front of him. When it happens again, Hawke switches from stalker with a camera to bodyguard with a gun. The lawyer who hired him is not satisfied with the outcome or that Hawke is looking into who is responsible for the abduction attempts. He threatens Hawke to get him to back down, something not in the investigator’s nature. To protect Maddie, Hawke must take her along while following the few leads he has to identify who is responsible and why. The closer they get to the truth the more danger they find themselves in. Will they find who is out to get Maddie before it’s too late?

As the investigation unfolds, a clue left by the mother and suggestions that the father may have been murdered, a simple missing persons case turns into a probable kidnapping, if not worse. An interrupted break-in at the children's home convinces Hawke the kids are in danger and he adds protection detail to his list of duties. Following clues that show a far-reaching criminal organization, can Hawke uncover the truth behind what is happening and reunite a family? Or is he outnumbered, outgunned, and out of time? All the children's hope rests on Hawke's shoulders as he searches for their mother, who is THREE DAYS GONE.

A wonderful tale from a master storyteller, Though the Heavens May Fall has its heart and soul in the lore and landscape of Cornwall.

Forests of the Night
Forests of the Night introduces the intrepid John Hawke, an exciting new detective operating in London during the Blitz. When World War II breaks out in London, young policeman John Hawke enlists in the army. His dreams of fighting for his country, however, are cut short after he loses an eye in rifle training. Invalided out of the army and offered a desk job with the police, John sets up as a private investigator in London instead, hoping for excitement and danger. In the autumn of 1940, John is engaged to investigate the mysterious death of a young woman. What is the connection between her brutal murder and the fading film actor Gordon Moore? Johnny also becomes involved in the plight of a runaway boy who may have witnessed something terrible. Told with wit and humor, while evoking an atmospheric picture of the home front during the dark days of the Second World War, Forests of the Night is an impressive U.S. debut for David Stuart Davies.
