Graham Hurley continued his police fiction after the Faraday and Winter series with four novels following Jimmy Suttle, a character introduced in the earlier books. Suttle has moved from Portsmouth to Devon, and the shift in geography brings a different atmosphere to the crime fiction: less urban grit, more rural tension. Western Approaches (2012) through The Order of Things (2015) follow Suttle through cases that test him professionally and personally.

The four books maintain Hurley’s strengths in procedural detail and character-driven plotting while giving him a fresh setting to explore. Suttle is a younger, less complicated protagonist than either Faraday or Winter, and his cases reflect the particular crimes and social dynamics of southwest England.
