**CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF RYAN AND RAY? GET THE LATEST BOOK, THE DANGEROUS STRANGER, NOW**
'Move over Morse. Simon Mason Oxford crime novel breathes fresh life into the police procedural' Val McDermid
'As great a contribution to the noble British genre of detective fiction as any writer for decades' Stephen Fry
A DI RYAN WILKINS MYSTERY
A SHOCKING DISAPPEARANCE
A four-year-old girl goes missing in plain sight outside her nursery in Oxford, a middle-class, affluent area,
her mother only a stones-throw away.
A TRIGGERING RESPONSE
Ryan Wilkins, one of the youngest ever Detective Inspectors in the Thames Valley force, dishonourably discharged three months ago, watches his former partner DI Ray Wilkins deliver a press conference, confirming a lead.
A DARK WEB
Ray begins to delve deeper, unearthing an underground network of criminal forces in the local area. But while Ray's investigation stalls Ryan brings his unique talents to unofficial and quite illegal inquiries which will bring him into a confrontation with the very officials who have thrown him out of the force.
Praise for the DI Ryan Wilkins Mysteries
'Mason has reformulated Inspector Morse for the 2020s' The Times

It’s realistic, it’s dark, and it’s messy
Here’s all the things I liked about the second DI Ryan Wilkins novel: The characters: Ryan and Ray Wilkins who couldn’t be more different; one seemingly has it all, the other can’t hold on to the things he’s got; one has had an expensive education, the other grew up in a trailer park; both are struggling this time and it’s fascinating how Mason portraits them The language and atmosphere: Mason alternates between detailed descriptions and “simply” listing things; especially the latter gives off the impression of something not quite finished, crude even, as well as speeding up the plot; both contrast grossly which fits the horrible crime that took place in the most innocent and charming of settings. The plot: We are onto things much quicker than Ray and Ryan because they don’t work together this time; still Mason took me by surprise with several twists and turns; just when I thought, this is it, something else happened (which is also true for the detective’s private lives); I also appreciate that he shows just how difficult it is to find out what happened or to predict what someone might do next. I could probably write much more but I want to read the next book in the series. Sorry
