Showing results for "John French" in Police Procedurals

When Sir John Magill, the wealthy Irish industrialist, fails to show up at his hometown on a well-publicised visit, neither his family nor the Belfast police can explain his disappearance. Foul play is suspected when his bloodstained hat is discovered, and Scotland Yard is called in. With his characteristic genius for reconstruction, Inspector French evolves a gruesome theory about what happened to the elderly man, but his reputation - and that of Scotland Yard - will depend on finding out who was responsible.

A late-night murder of a diamond merchant’s veteran employee in London’s Hatton Gardens has Scotland Yard calling on Inspector French to investigate. When French gets there he finds not only the victim but missing diamonds and money from an open safe. There are meager clues as the Inspector follows a trail to mainland Europe and back. There are many false clues and several suspects with much of the searching leading to nothing but dead ends. We can listen as French sorts it all out, finding the missing diamonds and nabbing the murderer.

Private Eye Matthew Grace always believes his clients, tries to anyway. That's not easy in a city where almost everybody lies. Grace should know, he's told a few himself - always in a good cause of course. Which is why Grace is no longer a crime scene investigator and why Joshua Parker, the last honest cop in Baltimore, is keeping an eye on him. Parker is waiting for Grace to make one last mistake, for his past sins to catch up with him. In the end it will be up to Grace to make the right choices, ones that will lead either to a second chance or no chance at all.
