The Detective Sergeant Adam Tyler mystery series by Russ Thomas opens with Firewatching in 2020 and has been adding a new entry roughly every other year, reaching four books by 2024 with Sleeping Dogs. The titles — Firewatching, Nighthawking, Cold Reckoning, and Sleeping Dogs — each carry a strong sense of unease, fitting for a crime fiction series built around Detective Sergeant Adam Tyler.
The four books cover 2020 through 2024, so readers picking up the series now have a complete run to work through. Starting with Firewatching and reading in order is the best approach, as character and story continuity carries through from book to book.
