Former Police Officer Turns Gritty Experience into Gripping

Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2025/09/1759256826.jpg

Stephen Collier, a retired police officer with over 30 years of frontline service, brings readers a powerful quartet of crime and mystery novels that blend authentic policing with high-stakes drama. His four standout works, Blind Murder, Driving Dead, Crimson Dragon, and Without Fear or Favour and Other Stories, reflect a lifetime of experience in law enforcement and storytelling.

Blind Murder introduces readers to Jake Jordan and Jim Kingsfield, two officers forever changed by a murder case from their rookie days. Years later, the past returns in the form of a dangerous vendetta that threatens everything they hold dear.

Driving Dead takes readers into a terrifying investigation involving a series of deadly road crashes caused by a mysterious seizure-inducing drug. The race is on to find the killer before the body count rises.

In Crimson Dragon, a cyberattack on a UK police database triggers a globe-spanning investigation that pairs a UK traffic officer with a determined Hong Kong detective. Together, they uncover secrets tied to a dangerous crime syndicate.

Finally, Without Fear or Favour and Other Stories offers a haunting mix of short fiction focused on moral dilemmas, broken oaths, and two unforgettable paranormal tales that venture into the unknown.

Each book offers suspense, realism, and characters that linger long after the final page. Available now in paperback and eBook across Amazon, these four books will elevate the thrill and intrigue by providing you with a perfect dose of entertainment.
