Book Description
All four books in 'Alex Warren Murder Mysteries', a tartan noir crime fiction series by Zach Abrams, now in one volume! Made A Killing: Nobody sheds a tear when the body of Scott Stevenson, a local troublemaker, turns up with an ivory tusk driven through his torso. D.C.I. Alex Warren is tasked with bringing the killer to justice, but the case turns out to be more complicated than they expected. With the body count rising and clues few and far between, can Alex and his team close the case before more lives are lost? A Measure of Trouble: A cold February morning in central Scotland commences with the discovery of a body, as Chief Executive Hector Mathewson is found dead within the cask room of his own distillery. With suspects aplenty and motives ranging from greed and nationalism to adultery and revenge, D.C.I. Alex Warren will need to balance his own turbulent personal life while directing the hunt for the murderer. Written To Death: It was scarcely the first time that bestselling author Sheila Armstrong had died on stage, but it would most certainly be the last. Sheila, a member of Eastfarm Writers, has been stabbed to death on stage in a school, during a rehearsal of a play she’d written. While DCI Alex Warren works the case, his partner, DI Sandra McKinnon, is roped into investigating a series of crimes which appear to be mob-related. As the enquiries run in parallel, can they support each other and bring the perpetrators to justice? Offender of the Faith: Just as his partner is due to give birth, DCI Alex Warren is sent to lead a difficult and sensitive investigation. After a young Asian girl is found assaulted and murdered in her home, families are brought under intense scrutiny, as Alex and his team look for answers. But can they find the killer in time?

Book Description
A cold case murder, a grisly discovery, and a viper's nest of resentment, betrayal, and dirty secrets converge in this mystery perfect for fans of Kathy Reichs and Jayne Ann Krentz. It's been 12 years since Sandi Parkman went missing after being dropped off at home by her schoolmate, Nick Larson, now the Sheriff of Freeport, Michigan. When a construction crew unearths Sandi's bones--along with Nick's letterman jacket and one of his hairs--Nick becomes suspect number one in the murder. Dr. Emily Hartford, the daughter of Freeport's medical examiner, is called in to investigate, but the case is about to get personal. Nick was Emily's high school love, and now she has to either clear his name--or contend that he's the killer. As she delves into the case, a host of other suspects emerge: a coterie of Nick's jock friends from high school; Sandi's sister, Tiffany, now a dancer at a local strip club; and James VanDerMuellen, a trust funder who's recently returned to Freeport. As the autumn skies darken over Freeport and the holiday season looms, Emily must sift through more than Sandi's brittle bones to solve the case. Can she exonerate Nick--and rekindle their long-smoldering romance? The race is on to find the truth.

Alexandra Cooper, prosecuting the ex-CIA man, knew she had her work cut out to convince the jury, but before Paige could complete her testimony on the stand she is found dead - strangled in her own apartment building, just hours after she'd confessed to Alex that she had had a relationship with another ex-CIA operative.
