The truth doesn’t sleep — and neither does Detective Ryan.
Off Season
A Detective Ryan Mystery #1
by Clive Fleury
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Detective Ryan
navigates drug overdoses, a mysterious foot on the beach and a long-buried cold
case.
Detective Ramesh Ryan's career with Sydney's prestigious Organized Crime Unit
is on the up, until he loses a court case against the city's most powerful drug
dealer. In disgrace, the detective is relocated to the tiny Australian beach
town of Barton.
It is off-season in Barton-when its few criminals usually take a well-earned
rest. But not this year! With the detective's arrival, the town suddenly
becomes murder central. Two bodies are discovered in the space of days, both
victims of drug overdoses. Then a mysterious foot is found washed up on the
beach, and memories are awoken of an unsolved cold case of the teenager who
disappeared fifteen years ago. Add to this a blossoming romance, along with a
contract taken out on Ryan's life, and it's clear that the detective has jumped
out of the Sydney frying pan into the Barton fire.
What follows is an action-packed adventure, thrilling at every turn-where truth
and lies are almost impossible to separate, and unexpected twists are the order
of the day.

All Or None
A Detective Ryan Mystery #2
Returning to Sydney, Detective Ramesh Ryan is promoted to
the Homicide Squad. Zoe Yang joins him there. Now a detective herself, she is
assigned as his junior partner. Straight up, the cops are off and
running-investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following
the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to
past events.
As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the
detective finds that he too, is in the killer's crosshairs. But Ryan is
distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an old
university friend. He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new
obsessive desire for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to
her recent medical tests? And there's another pressing problem-the plague of
rats in his apartment block.
Detective Ryan's hands are well and truly full!
Praise For ALL
OR NONE
A riveting read. Anyone who likes mystery and crime, you
won’t be able to put this down. Thought it was an elegant continuation of this
universe. - Carolina R, Amazon Reviewer
I really enjoyed this book. I love it when you keep changing
your mind about who did it to find out at the end that you're still
wrong. – Nancy F., Goodreads Reviewer
All or None exceeded my expectations. The murders kept me
guessing, but what I loved most was Ryan himself tough on the outside,
vulnerable on the inside, and surrounded by challenges that made him relatable.
– Mary M., Goodreads Reviewer
I devoured this ARC in two sittings. The tension builds
perfectly, and the clues are woven in so well that you feel like you’re
investigating alongside Ryan and Zoe. The personal subplots (his mom, the
romance, even the rats!) add depth without slowing down the action. –
