The Detective Mike Croft series traces one detective’s career across nearly three decades of publications. Starting with The Greenway in 1995, the series follows Mike Croft through various cases that test both his professional skills and personal boundaries. The books have a psychological edge that sets them apart from straightforward police procedurals.

Adams has added to the series periodically over the years, with the most recent entry, The Nail, arriving in 2024. Some titles overlap with the separately listed Mike Croft series, as the books have been grouped differently by various publishers. Readers looking for the complete Mike Croft experience should check both series listings.
