The Investigator series is a slight departure for Dave Daren. Instead of a lawyer arguing in court, the protagonist here is a private investigator doing the legwork that courtroom dramas usually skip over. The four books, published between 2021 and 2023, follow the investigator as they take on cases that require more shoe leather than legal briefs.

The PI angle gives Daren room to write more action-oriented scenes while still keeping the legal world in the background. Cases often involve digging up evidence that someone wants to stay buried, and the investigator has to deal with threats that go beyond opposing counsel filing motions. It is a good entry point for readers who want Daren’s style of thriller but prefer their protagonist working the streets rather than the courtroom.
