The C. I. D. Room series by Roderic Jeffries spans fourteen books across sixteen years, from The C.I.D Room / All Leads Negative in 1967 to One Man’s Justice in 1983. Set within a police criminal investigation department, the series follows cases through a sustained run of mysteries with titles like Guilt Without Proof, Despite the Evidence, Murder is Suspected, and Betrayed by Death.
The books appeared at a fairly regular pace throughout the late 1960s and 1970s — roughly one a year — before slowing to one every couple of years in the early 1980s. Reading in order from book one gives the clearest picture of the recurring characters and the procedural world Jeffries built across the fourteen entries.
