SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER 2023 ' As great a contribution to the noble British
genre of detective fiction as any writer for decades' Stephen Fry 'This moody atmospheric
novel is full of surprises' Sunday Times (Crime Book of the Month) Ryan Wilkins grew up on a
trailer park a member of what many people would call the criminal classes. As a young
Detective Inspector he's lost none of his disgust with privileged elites. But he notices
things they stick to his eyes. His professional partner DI Ray Wilkins of affluent
Nigerian-London heritage is an impeccably groomed smooth-talking graduate of Balliol College
Oxford. You wouldn't think they would get on. They don't. But when a young woman is found
strangled at Barnabas Hall they're forced to. Rich Oxford is not Ryan's natural habitat. St
Barnabas's irascible Provost does not appreciate his forceful line of questioning. But what was
the dead woman doing in the Provost's study? As tensions rise things aren't going well. Ray
is in despair. Ryan is in disciplinary measures. A Killing in November introduces an
unlikely duo from different sides of the tracks in Oxford in a deftly plotted murder story full
of dangerous turns troubled pasts and unconventional detective work. READ THE NEXT DI RYAN
