The Paul McGrath series by Andrew Grant follows a former Army Intelligence officer who has traded military work for a job verifying facts at a court-reporting charity. In Invisible (2019), McGrath investigates a story that powerful people want buried, and his digging puts him in serious danger. Too Close to Home (2020) raises the personal stakes when a threat strikes close to McGrath’s own life.
Andrew Grant, the brother of thriller writer Lee Child, brings a stripped-down writing style to these books. McGrath is a quiet, observant protagonist who relies on patience and intelligence rather than guns and car chases. The series explores themes of truth, power, and how difficult it can be to expose wrongdoing when the people responsible have the resources to stay hidden. The two novels work as a pair, though each tells a complete story.
