Harbingers of Fear (1992) stands alone in Dorothy Simpson’s catalog as her only novel outside the Inspector Thanet framework. It appeared between Doomed to Die (1991) and Wake the Dead (1992) in the Thanet series, suggesting it was a deliberate step away from her series detective during a period when she was producing Thanet books regularly.

As a single title, it is primarily of interest to readers who have worked through the Thanet series and want more of Simpson’s work. The Thanet books remain the main body of her fiction.
