The Superintendent Green series covers seven of John Bude’s novels, a number of which also appear in the broader Superintendent Meredith catalog. The overlap reflects how Bude sometimes featured both characters in the same investigations, with Green functioning as a foil or colleague to Meredith in the British police hierarchy.
The books range across several of the same English settings that Bude used throughout his career — Sussex, Cheltenham, the Riviera — and carry the same procedural approach that defines his detective fiction more broadly.
