The East End Noir series by Natalie Hames includes four books published across 2015 and 2016: The Towers, District Line, Dancers, and Finders Keepers. The series draws its atmosphere from London’s East End, using the area’s neighborhoods and landmarks as backdrops for crime stories with a noir sensibility.
These were Hames’s first published novels, and they show her interest in place-based crime fiction. The titles reference recognizable East London features, grounding the stories in a specific geography. The books carry a darker tone than her later Dalton & Nash procedurals, leaning more toward atmospheric thriller territory.
