Graham Hurley published nine standalone novels before and during the early years of his Faraday and Winter series. Books like Rules of Engagement (1991), Thunder in the Blood (1995), and Sabbathman (1996) are thrillers that draw on Hurley’s background in television journalism, dealing with political conspiracies, military operations, and institutional corruption.
These earlier works show Hurley developing the strengths that would define his series fiction: attention to real-world settings, morally ambiguous characters, and plots rooted in how power actually operates in Britain. Heaven’s Light (1997) and Nocturne (1999) rounded out the 1990s output, and The Devil’s Breath (2012) appeared much later as a standalone separate from his ongoing series.
