The Max Drescher series gives James Craig a second detective to work with. A Shot At Salvation and The Sweetest Morsel, published in 2016 and 2017, follow Drescher through cases in London’s criminal world. The two books sit alongside the much longer Inspector Carlyle series, offering a different perspective on the same urban landscape.
With just two books, the Max Drescher series is a compact addition to Craig’s catalog rather than a major departure. It shows his ability to create a distinct voice for a new protagonist while staying in the London crime fiction territory he knows best.
