• One Under is the train engineers term for a body that has gone under the front of a train. It doesn’t happen often, but can be a suicide choice. In this case, the police discover that the naked body of a man had been chained to the tracks and left for the train to tear to pieces.This is the seventh entry into Graham Hurley’s police procedurals featuring DI Joe Faraday and his subordinate, DC Paul Winter. And while Joe Faraday is as straight as they come and works by the book, Paul Winters doesn’t mind taking the odd short cut or getting his hands dirty. While perusing the list of Missing Persons, looking for the victim’s ID, Winter comes across a man who seemingly stepped out of his life. He doesn’t appear to be the man in the train tunnel, but this case looks suspicious to Winter and he decides to investigate this disappearance on the side.One Under is a fun and informative read. The author is one of the best writers of police procedurals, giving the reader the feeling of how an investigation is set up, managed, controlled and run. The frustrations, political and departmental pressures, false starts and long hours of piecing unconnected clues together are realistic and gives you a glimpse of how detectives really work.With a great plot and cemented by two strong characters that I have grown to know well, this book is a first-class addition to this series.

• This is a gritty, hard boiled crime thriller and it doesn't get much better. A man ,chained to the tracks, is killed by the first morning train leaving Portsmouth for London. DI Joe Farady and DC Paul Winter investigate. Waterstone's Books Quarterly describe Hurley as the South Coast's answer to Ian Rankin.
