A Killing in November

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 has unusual skills but the same objectionable manners - and a strong dislike of the posh, the rich, the entitled. His professional partner, DI Ray Wilkins, of affluent Nigerian London heritage, is an impeccably groomed graduate of Balliol College, Oxford. You wouldn't think they would get on. They don't.
But when an attractive young woman is found strangled on the floor of the study of the Provost of Barnabas College in Oxford, they have to.
A Killing in November is an Oxford-set crime series of surprising twists, troubled pasts and a dynamic duo who are brought together by a mysterious murder investigation.

SIMON MASON has pursued parallel careers as a publisher and an author, whose YA crime novels Running Girl, Kid Got Shot and Hey, Sherlock! feature the sixteen-year-old slacker genius Garvie Smith. A former Managing Director of David Fickling Books, where he worked with many wonderful writers, including Philip Pullman, he has also taught at Oxford Brookes University and has been a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Exeter College, Oxford.
Lost and Never Found is the third book in the DI Ryan Wilkins Mysteries. The first book, A Killing in November, received widespread critical acclaim and was shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger. The Second book, The Broken Afternoon, was a Times Audio Book of the Week and a Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month.
