Overview: Graham Ison was born and brought up in Surrey where he still lives. The son of an artist, and grandson of a composer, he served in the army for five years before joining the police. After spending some time with the CID at Scotland Yard he transferred to the Diplomatic Protection Group and between 1967 and 1971 was Personal Protection Officer to Prime Ministers Harold Wilson and Edward Heath. In 1981 he moved back to Scotland Yard as Detective Chief Superintendent. He retired at this rank in 1986.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
2. The Laundry Man
On Easter Saturday, a policeman is shot attempting to stop a building society robbery.
Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox, head of the Flying Squad at New Scotland Yard and scourge of London’s underworld, gets out from behind his desk and interferes. But there is more to the crime than is at first apparent.
A Cézanne painting has mysteriously disappeared, a supermarket in France is robbed, and a man is murdered. Then Fox and his men get wind of a plan to rob a safe depository.
Fox’s enquiries point to Danny Horsfall, a man who launders stolen money ... a man whose underworld activities have long attracted the keen interest of the police.
Despite facing one of the most difficult challenges of his career and an almost impenetrable international crime ring that leads him from HMP Wormwood Scrubs to Paris and Brussels, meeting drug pushers, crooked art dealers, prostitutes, fraudsters and gun runners, Fox is determined to bring The Laundry Man to justice.
Horsfall, however, has been careful to cover his tracks — weapons are hidden, women are coerced and rivals are silenced. In his world, danger is commonplace and loyalty is rare. Beneath the light-hearted banter of the Flying Squad, everyone knows that in real crime real people get hurt ...
3. Tomfoolery
The heist is on…
When a walk-in thief rips off dozens of hotel rooms at a posh West London hotel, both Jack Gilroy and his governor, Tommy Fox receive the call. It seems the thieves had a taste for fine jewellery.
New Scotland Yard’s Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox, operational head of the Flying Squad, takes on the case of tomfoolery. With a hundred’s grand worth of jewellery stolen, Fox knows this was a professional heist.
With two suspects identified, and the getaway car, Fox and Gilroy have a lot to start off with, or so they think.
There’s also a missing receptionist at the hotel … Wilkins. Could there be a connection? It is up to Detective Inspector Jack Gilroy and his team to find out, with Tommy Fox breathing down their necks.
When a set of finger prints are found in the getaway car, retrieved from the bottom of the river, Detective Sergeant Percy Fletcher is tasked with finding Jim Murchison, a small time crook.
Jane Meadows and Thomas Harley are linked through their golf club. Strangely, Thomas Harley has gone missing and his wife is worried. Soon, Jane Meadows and the man everyone thinks is Thomas Harley are the focal point of the investigation. They match the description of the thieves from the hotel.
Susan Harley seems to be totally oblivious to her husband’s antics. But, Thomas Harley is also identical to Wilkins, the missing receptionist … But Thomas Harley is dead … he is buried at a church. He’s been dead for some time. Confusion sinks in as the plot takes on a whole new turn.
A missing businessman, a mysterious funeral, a dead body and a near-naked blonde are not all that they seem. And so one thing leads to another … as it invariably does in the work of the Criminal Investigation Department. As Fox widens the circle of his enquiries, petty villains take cover — as do one or two members of the Flying Squad — and even a French detective in the South of France starts to feel threatened.
4. Snowdrop
Another baffling case for Fox and flying squad…
On the hard shoulder of the M4, two traffic officers spot a car illegally parked and with no hazard lights on. Figuring it’s someone or a family taking the mick, the officers approach the car as routine. But instead they make a far more startling discovery…
Two men shot right through the windscreen. At least they believe it’s two men – their faces aren’t even intact enough to identify the bodies.
With few clues, Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox, operational head of the Flying Squad is called in. A legend by this point for his brave actions in the force, as well as disarming and caustic wit, Fox is tough but well respected.
Searching the car, there is one important clue: a white powder found in the car boot… Cocaine. Fox knows a drug smuggling ring when he sees one. A large and organised one at that – but this time, something clearly went wrong…
5. The Taming of Tango Harris
Another case for Detective Tommy Fox …
The body of a high-end prostitute is found in a hotel in the West End with a black stocking around her neck. Hours later, on the other side of London, a lorry is hijacked — and the driver abducted and abandoned on a golf course, while another man is shot dead, his corpse dumped in the boot of a stolen car.
For Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox of the Flying Squad, this series of crimes is no coincidence. The lorry heists bear all the hallmarks of gang leader Thomas Walter Harris — better known as Tango Harris. It is also discovered that the dead man worked for Harris’ rival, Billie Crombie.
But despite his suspicions, Fox has no proof that the two murders are connected. In order to solve the case, he must first prove that all three incidents are linked — and that Harris is involved. But with Harris seemingly always one step ahead of him, this is one case that will not be easy to solve…Can Detective Fox bring about the taming of Tango Harris?
6. Underneath The Arches
Led by Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox, the Flying Squad is watching over a repository of stolen property underneath some railway arches in Lambeth. Arriving to lodge the proceeds of yet another robbery, a pair of thieves discover the body of a young woman. And so a simple robbery case becomes a murder investigation.
Aproaching the case in his usual unorthodox way, Fox has to contend not only with the familiar catalogue of villainy but also with two complaints that have been against him – these being investigated by the unbending and humourless Commander Willow of the Uniform branch. Pawnbrokers, photographers, an oil executive, big-businessmen and charity workers all come under Fox’s suspicion. Aided by the loyal yet often perplexed officers under his charge, Fox tries to discover the link between stolen goods and a seemingly random murder. And in the course of his enquiries, he also manages to get rather close to a young female member of the nobility. But then, Fox always did have a discerning eye…
With obstacles continuously strewn in his path, will Fox’s unconventional way of working be enough to resolve the mystery of the body underneath the arches?
7. Rough Diamonds
Tommy Fox is back…
The shooting of a man in a taxi at Hyde Park Corner appeared to be just another event in the bizarre catalogue of crimes with which London's detectives are painfully familiar.
But when Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox, raffish head of the Flying Squad, is obliged to take an interest, he finds that the victim was a well-known iceman — criminal jargon for a thief who steals diamonds.
A second murder, which terminates the career of another iceman, leads Fox to enquire more thoroughly into the activities of this particular group of villains — and its sole survivor — who specialise in relieving rich widows and divorcees of their jewellery.
A separate crime — a murder which took place five years previously — assumes increasing importance in the investigation and before long Fox is convinced there is a link between the killings.
Using his current girlfriend as bait, Fox attempts to trap the killer, but the plan goes disastrously wrong and Fox is left to face one of the most difficult problems of his career.
But throughout the investigation, Fox treats police regulations — and the law — with his usual disdain in successfully wrapping up the case, although this time not quite in the way he wanted …
8. Blue Murder
Murder doesn’t get much sleazier…
To command the International and Organised Crime branch at the heart of the CID’s London operation is the dream of every Scotland Yard detective. When offered to Tommy Fox, however, it is the Met’s last chance of reining in its most brilliant, single-minded and tempestuous detective before his unorthodox investigative practices overstep the mark once and for all. But only a matter of seconds into his new job a case is handed to Commander Fox that is too inviting to leave to his subordinates.
In a yacht moored off the Cyprus coast a British businessman, Michael Leighton, and his two female ‘companions’ have been found murdered, the victims of twenty-seven rounds from an assault rifle.
With a cache of cocaine on board, it seems just another drug-smuggling murder enquiry is about to get under way — but Fox, taking personal charge of the investigation in Cyprus and London, is on the scent of something infinitely more revealing …
When sexually explicit videos and photographs are discovered at the dead man’s company premises in Fulham, Fox and his team realise they have stumbled upon Leighton Leisure Services’ profitable sideline in pornographic movies — with in-house production techniques and a Europe-wide distribution network. The star of these masterpieces? None other than the late, and apparently rather energetic, Mr Michael Leighton himself.
And the recent death of a young woman in suspicious circumstances raises the heat of the investigation further, particularly as enquiries show she was the daughter of one of Fox’s oldest and most slippery adversaries in the criminal underworld.
Despite uncovering a plethora of suspects, the vice trade is proving a difficult nut for Fox to crack in the hunt for a triple-murderer, who may be covering his tracks by killing again; but as its co-ordinator and chief investigator, there is no better man than Tommy Fox in getting to the bottom of this case’s decidedly murky depths …
