The DS Tony Heaton series by Steve Higgs marks a departure from his usual paranormal and cozy mystery fare. Beginning with Shadow of a Lie in 2024, the books follow Detective Sergeant Tony Heaton in traditional police procedural investigations without the supernatural elements found in the Blue Moon or Realm of False Gods series.
The series includes The Lies We Tell Ourselves (2024) and The Truth Will Out (2025), building a crime fiction storyline focused on deception, hidden truths, and solid detective work.
