The Jack Dunn series uses colour in its titles as a running motif: Black Dot, Green Glow, Blue Haze, and Crimson Light. The first three were published within the same year, 2015, suggesting the author had a good deal of the series planned from the outset. After Blue Haze the series went quiet for seven years before Crimson Light appeared in 2022.

The books are mystery novels built around the Jack Dunn character, and the compact titles and brisk publication schedule of the early entries suggest they are relatively fast reads. Charles Williamson published a lot of work across multiple series during 2015, and the Jack Dunn books were among the first of his mystery output.

Read the series in order starting with Black Dot, which establishes the character and sets up the world the later books develop.
