Russ Thomas writes the Detective Sergeant Adam Tyler series, a set of four mystery novels published between 2020 and 2024. The series opened with Firewatching, followed by Nighthawking, Cold Reckoning, and Sleeping Dogs. The single-word-style titles give the books a distinct, stripped-down identity.
With four entries over four years, the series has built at a measured pace. Each title in the DS Adam Tyler books appears to be a standalone mystery connected by the recurring lead detective, making the series accessible to readers who want to jump in at any point while still rewarding those who follow Tyler’s story from the beginning.
