**CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF RYAN AND RAY? BUY THE LATEST BOOK, THE DANGEROUS STRANGER, NOW**
'Simon Mason has created crime fiction's most entertaining double act in decades' Mick Herron
'As great a contribution to the noble British genre of detective fiction as any writer for decades' Stephen Fry
Oxford. A city of lost things - and buried crimes.
At three o'clock in the morning, Emergency Services receives a call. 'This is Zara Fanshawe. Always lost and never found.' An hour later, the wayward celebrity's Rolls Royce Phantom is found abandoned in dingy Becket Street. The paparazzi go wild.
For some reason, news of Zara's disappearance prompts homeless woman Lena Wójcik to search the camps, nervously, for the bad-tempered vagrant known as 'Waitrose', a familiar sight in Oxford pushing his trolley of possessions. But he's nowhere to be found either.
Who will lead the investigation and cope with the media frenzy? Suave, prize-winning, Oxford-educated DI Ray Wilkins is passed over in favour of his partner, gobby, trailer-park educated DI Ryan Wilkins (no relation). You wouldn't think Ray would be happy. He isn't. You wouldn't think Ryan would be any good at national press presentations. He isn't.
And when legendary cop Chester Lynch takes a shine to Ray - and takes against Ryan - things are only going to get even messier.

A bit slower going but still gripping
The third book in Simon Mason’s crime series about the DIs Wilkins is a bit slower going than the previous ones. Ryan’s and Ray’s very different personalities keep clashing, and their private lives as well as their battles to balance it with their jobs distracts us from the case at hand. The case itself as well as his detectives provide Mason once more with the opportunity to focus on social and political issues. Towards the end he picks up speed again and surprises us with unforeseen twists and turns. Masons books continue to fascinate and captivate me: his protagonists, the realistic descriptions, the setting, and how he shifts our attention to aspects that matter to him.
