The D.I. Dani Stephens series by Rob Sinclair is a four-book police procedural series that began with The Essence of Evil (2019). Each book follows Detective Inspector Dani Stephens through a criminal investigation, with The Rules of Murder, Echoes of Guilt, and The Bonds of Blood completing the series by 2021.
The series represents Sinclair’s move into crime fiction territory, separate from the spy thrillers that make up most of his catalog. The books focus on investigation and criminal psychology rather than the international action of his Ryker novels.
