The DI Kate Burrows series by Martina Cole spans four books from The Ladykiller (1993) to Damaged (2017). The series follows Detective Inspector Kate Burrows as she hunts serial killers, while her personal life grows more complicated through her involvement with gangster Patrick Kelly.
The tension between Kate’s work catching killers and her relationship with a criminal runs through all four books. Cole uses the series to explore how the line between law enforcement and the underworld blurs when the people on both sides are personally connected.
