DI Tom Blake Series by J.F. Burgess (1-2, 5-6)
Requirements: epub reader, 1.4 Mb
Overview: I grew up in Stoke-on-Trent and spent many years doing less than ideal jobs in and around the Potteries five towns, before finally taking the plunge and quitting work to follow my creative side. As a keen horse-racing fan, I started off in 2007 self-publishing betting how-to manuals, but my real passion is for crime fiction, both reading and writing.
Genre: Mystery




1. The Killer Shadow Thieves - Widowed detective DI Tom Blake sets off a chain of events that change his life forever, when the brutal murder of an alcoholic skinhead, and arrest of a vicious Turkish loan shark, unwittingly disrupts an international gang’s daring plans to steal the world-famous Staffordshire Hoard.
In a cruel twist of fate, Blake’s daughter is kidnapped and the trail propels the bereft detective on a personal quest to Miami to save her life. Operating outside the law, he enters into an illicit showdown with a mysterious artefacts Collector, almost costing him his life.
As the body count rises, Blake and his team struggle to unravel the conspiracy of a shadowy killer who leaves no trace. With only circumstantial evidence against each of the suspects, they hit a wall, until twenty-six-year-old photographs linking them to the murdered skinhead emerge. It seems the victim’s depraved past is the key to identifying the killer.
Can the police uncover the truth through all the lies and deception, and crack the case before someone else gets killed? And will they recover a legendary national treasure, worth millions, before it’s lost forever?
2. A Place of Reckoning - Three women. Two bodies. One deadly secret.
Pottery tycoon Charles Lancaster knows who kidnapped his wife.
He’s sure it was the brutally dangerous ex bare-knuckle fighter, Patrick Dunne. Patrick promised to avenge his son who died in a tragic accident in one of Charles’ factories. It’s an open and shut case...
…until a headless body turns up in a remote Peak District pool, its back tattooed with a cryptic Tarot card. As Detective Inspector Tom Blake and FBI profiler Lucy Stryker dig into the mystery, they unearth long-buried secrets about an historic conspiracy and a clandestine cult. But with a sadistic killer on the loose, and everyone hiding things, it’s not just the victim’s life that hangs in the balance. Will anyone get out alive?
Because when the powerful are pointing the finger, you’d better watch your back…
5. The Death of Innocence - A secret so deadly, no one is safe.
When controversial journalist Rosalyn French is captured on CCTV stumbling barefoot around a multi-storey car park after her laptop is stolen, Detective Inspector Tom Blake is called in to investigate.
Twenty-four hours later, her apartment is found ransacked and her body discovered floating face down in a canal.
Rosalyn has been secretly meeting with a world-renowned scientist from a powerful pharma company. Were they having an affair – or is something much darker going on?
When the scientist is found dead in his lab with a knife clenched in his hand and Famacoxin kills carved into his desk, DI Blake must ask himself: is this smear of a groundbreaking children's cancer drug, funded by millions in research dollars, covering up far more sinister deeds?
The trail leads Blake and Interpol agent Olivia Kamberi across Europe to a corrupt Albanian town with Mafia connections. Could they be on the brink of uncovering a WWII atrocity that still affects the lives of the world’s forgotten children today?
Will they be in time to discover a horrifying truth, and protect more innocent children from murder, before the powerful forces they hunt silence them forever?
6. A Murderous Christmas - Stranded by a blizzard. Hunted by a killer.
Widowed Detective Tom Blake and his daughter Isabel receive an invitation to stay with his eighty-nine-year-old uncle Archie over Christmas. Tom is concerned as the old man indicates he has something life-changing to tell them.
When they arrive at Thorpe Dale village, Lord and Lady Bainbridge invite them to Larkstone Manor, their isolated home. But when a blizzard descends over the Peaks surrounding the house, they are cut off from the outside world.
Archie disappears early on Christmas Eve. Unable to raise help, Blake and his daughter embark on a dangerous journey over freezing, desolate moors to search for him.
The bludgeoned body of Larkstone’s gardener is found in a ghostly pine forest. linked to stories of ghostly black hounds. Could Archie be next?
Still cut off from the outside world, Blake, assisted by Isabel, investigates and uncovers a historical scandal far darker than either of them could imagine.
They quickly discover they’re among treacherous strangers concealing long-held grudges.
Will they uncover the deadly truth about Larkstone Manor and find Archie before a devious killer with a thirst for vengeance picks them off one by one in this inhospitable landscape?
