The Duncan Forrester Mystery series is set in postwar Oxford and follows a former intelligence officer who has returned to university life. The Age of Treachery (2016) introduces Forrester as he becomes involved in a murder investigation at his college during the harsh winter of 1946-47.
The Age of Olympus (2017) and The Age of Exodus (2018) continue the series, taking Forrester beyond Oxford into wider postwar Europe. The books combine the atmosphere of a traditional academic mystery with the geopolitical tensions of the early Cold War period.
