Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start with the Frank McBride series, and do I need to read the books in order?
The books can be read as standalone novels in any order but they are best enjoyed if you begin with Book One, The Rutland Connection.
Is the Customs and Excise background based on real experience?
Yes. I was a customs officer for thirteen years and spent most of that time in the investigation Service. Six years in London and then four and a half in Nottingham. The books are as authentic as I can make them although some details have been veiled or disguised for security reasons.
Which formats are the books available in, and where can I buy them?
The books are all available as paperbacks and e-books exclusively on Amazon. The first three books, The Rutland Connection, The Rutland Identity and The Rutland Volunteer are available as audio books, exclusively with Audible.
Will there be more Frank McBride books?
Yes, I am currently working on Book Eight in the series. The working title is The Rutland Reunion. We are back in Rutland in 2002. All the usual characters, Frank, Bernard, Joe Lake and Michael Butcher will feature as well as one or two characters from earlier novels.
