Note: This edition collects Cullen and Bain books 1-3, so purchasers of those books should avoid this.
Cullen, Hunter and Bain return in a three-part novel, where each of them must face the Cold Truth.
City of the Dead
A body in a bin. Two cops at each other's throats.
Acting DI Scott Cullen faces his worst fear – managing DS Brian Bain, his old boss and notorious loose cannon. But when Cullen is called through to Glasgow to investigate a murder, Bain is back on his home turf.
A body found in an industrial bin, soaked in bleach and naked except for an adult nappy. Amid an ongoing investigation into similar crimes, but stopping short of murder, can Cullen rise above Bain's behaviour and solve the crime?
World's End
A body in a supermarket. A cop with a plan. Another with a nightmare.
When a body turns up in an Edinburgh supermarket, Acting DI Scott Cullen must dig into the victim's life—and his own recent past.
While DS Brian Bain is in charge of investigating the supermarket and its staff, including the tainted meat scandal of a few years ago, he's also scheming away, trying to solve the case before his boss.
But will Cullen's goal be thwarted by Bain's game? Will Bain save the day? And will they catch the killer before they strike again?
Hell's Kitchen
Two cities in lockdown. Two cops in distress, separated by an ocean.
"Ach, it'll be fine." Famous last words that leave DS Brian Bain trapped across the other side of the Atlantic from where he needs to be. Recording a podcast while the world ends.
"This is a nightmare." Shoved back into operational policing to manage the lockdown in Edinburgh, Acting DI Scott Cullen is faced with some ghosts from his past. Ghosts that kill.
And with Bain thousands of miles away, can his long-standing plan come to fruition? Or will events dictate his actions?
Readers LOVE this Gritty Police Thriller:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Oh, how I loved this book... The characters, the conspiracy theorist, and the gritty dialogue - the best entertainment I’ve read in a police thriller ever" – Goodreads review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent characters, fast pace, interesting story line" – Goodreads review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Incredibly fast paced with mayhem on both sides of the pond. Some crazy supporting characters make for a wild ride to say the least. A must read in a must read series. Don't miss any of author Ed James' Scott Cullen books." – Goodreads review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Hell's Kitchen is a perfectly paced page turner that switches points of view between Cullen's career ladder climbing and Bain's bitter foul mouth. Bain's chapters are a complete delight, and it's cool to catch more glimpses into another side of him. Hell's Kitchen has action, murder, conspiracy theories, a stolen bum pack, and the return of characters from past books. This is the best yet of the already wonderful Cullen and Bain series" – Amazon review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This story is filled with suspense, intense evil, and plenty of twists and turns. I love the relationship between Cullen and Bain, the same being absolutely brutal at times! The story kept my interest from the start, through every twist and turn, to the very end!" – Amazon review
