“Entry Wounds”
Hathaway gets to work on his first case as an Inspector, with the help of his new partner, DS Lizzie Maddox.

“Beyond Good and Evil”
Thirteen years after Lewis’ first successful arrest as a Detective Inspector, the forensics have been called into question and the case re-opened for appeal. Lewis fears the worst – but nothing can prepare him for a new string of murders resembling the original murders with the original weapon. Did he arrest an innocent man? With Lewis’ reputation in jeopardy, Hathaway and Maddox race to catch the killer.
