The Panda One series consists of four crime novels by Peter N. Walker, published between 1971 and 1981. The books follow the crew of a British police patrol car – the “panda car” – as they handle cases ranging from routine investigations to witchcraft and siege situations. The series title comes from the black-and-white patrol vehicles that were a fixture of British policing.
The four books – Panda One on Duty, Panda One Investigates, Witchcraft for Panda One, and Siege for Panda One – show Walker working through different crime scenarios with the same core setup. The series is a smaller entry in Walker’s large catalog but shares the same grounding in British police work that runs through all his fiction.
