"The finest of all Scotland Yard series" New York Times

George Gideon is no ordinary policeman. But this day from hell will test him like no other…

A policeman is caught in a web of corruption. A ruthless drug dealer spreads addiction and misery. Armed robbers bring terror to London's streets. Burglars threaten innocent people in their homes. And on the loose is a psychopathic child killer who must be caught before he claims more victims.

Leading the fight against these criminals is master detective George Gideon of Scotland Yard. A law enforcement legend, his crime solving abilities, integrity and intelligence are admired throughout London's world famous police headquarters while the city's villains fear his sharply analytical brain and immense physical presence.

Gideon's Day is the explosive first crime thriller in the award-winning and iconic Gideon of Scotland Yard series. Perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, Simon McCleave, Agatha Christie, Joy Ellis, JD Kirk and Jeffrey Archer.
