When love is a con, the price is murder.

A killer set free, a psychopath in the wings, and a young detective caught in the crossfire…

Joe Brewer might be an apex-predator pickup-artist but his romance scams are making barely enough to pay off escalating debts to dangerous lenders.

Newly minted Detective Constable Adrian Solomon is part of the Met’s controversial graduate entry programme. Without uniform experience prior to investigating major crimes, he faces rejection and ridicule from his colleagues, and when a hazing ritual goes desperately wrong a killer is set loose.

On Joe’s trail, Adrian is thrust into an unexpected alliance with DCI Bill Fleece, the most storied officer at Waterside. He finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy orchestrated by senior officers, unable to trust anyone or anything except his sharp brain and fledgling instincts. Adrian embarks on a course of action where the truth may cost him dearly.

Studies in Hysteria is a twisted journey into male hysteria and multiple personality. Its intricate structure keeps the pages turning and the reader guessing to the end.
