Boxsets

Most of my readers read this way — several full-length novels in one. If you’re not sure where to start, start at the top.

Four standalone thrillers: The Tablet, Cherry Picking, The Last Prophet and The Shadow Man. No reading order, no cliffhangers — four complete stories, each one finished by the last page.
This is the set most people start with.
The 26th Protocol, The Song Birds, 2024 and 2025.
The Song Birds follows one family through a century of Estonian occupation to the revolution a nation sang its way to. 2024 and 2025 are a linked pair about an author whose sales start rising rather too fast. Four standalones, two of which talk to each other.
Postcards From Pianjin Province, The Balance, Salva and Blackout — plus the short story collection Those Geese, They Lied; He’s Dead.
Five books, and the biggest set here. The Balance opens with a bank error that drops millions into the wrong account, and gets worse for everyone from there.
Where the Hunt series begins. The Prey, The Pride and The Poison — the first three of a nine-novel conspiracy that runs across continents and doesn’t let go.
Start here if you want something to disappear into for a while.
The Machine, The Menace and The Meltdown. The middle three, and where the scale of what’s happening becomes clear.
Read Boxset 1 first.
The Acting President, The Black Dolphin and The Lost Tsar — the last three, and the end of the story.
Books 1–6 first.
All four books together: The Curse, The Rebel, The Victim and The Beast.
Penny Black and Jack Ferguson start pulling at a thread of coincidences that shouldn’t exist, and find something a previous government did to an entire generation. The most disturbing thing here — two narrators, and one of them is a predator you spend two whole books inside.
The complete series — no waiting for the next one.
2024 and 2025, together.
Harry Poole is a struggling author whose sales suddenly go vertical. Every author he can find who rose the same way was dead within six months of the following year.
⚠️ If you’ve already read Thriller Boxset II, you have both of these.
