Outside his series work, G.F. Newman has written seventeen standalone novels spanning nearly four decades. These books cover a wide range of subjects, from street-level crime in Billy and The Streetfighter to political conspiracy in The Nation’s Health and Circle of Poison.

The List, The Obsession, and Trading the Future each tackle different corners of British society, while his 2009 novel Crime and Punishment brought his career full circle with a contemporary crime story.
