The DCI Paul Stark series by Jim Eldridge follows a detective whose cases lead him into the murky overlap between criminal investigation and the military-intelligence establishment. Assassins (2016) and Shadows of the Dead (2017) place Stark in situations where the truth is deliberately obscured by powerful interests.

The two books bring a harder edge to Eldridge’s crime writing, trading the cozy mystery tone of his Museum Mysteries for something closer to a political thriller.
