Peter May’s standalone novels span 45 years from The Reporter in 1978 to A Winter Grave in 2023. His earliest standalones include Fallen Hero (1979) and The Man with No Face / Hidden Faces (1981), while The Noble Path (1992) came later.
The more recent standalones have drawn the most attention, including Entry Island (2013), Runaway (2015), and Coffin Road (2016). Lockdown (2020) attracted particular notice because it was a thriller about a pandemic that May had written years before COVID-19. I’ll Keep You Safe (2018), A Silent Death (2020), and A Winter Grave (2023) round out his recent standalone work.
