When the head of an Algerian family is found murdered and St. Denis becomes unhinged.

Forensics and the Bruno books (go together) like love and marriage. He is somewhat sensual, even oversexed, but the intrigues in the books are always something I look forward to.

The Children of War and The Children Return are the same book, book 7 in the series. You are missing The Patriarch, which is book 8. Because of you, I have two copies of book 7, and sadly no copy of book 8. I am very disappointed and a little worried that I can’t rely on your lists anymore. Please fix.

  The Patriarch was listed as the Dying Season on the list however I’ve updated it to list both titles. And I’m extremely sorry for the confusion about Children of War and The Children Return. It looks like that one was written with one title then reissued a year later without any noes about it and we missed it. I’ve only read the first 4 books so I wasn’t aware of it. Shoot me an e-mail at site@orderofbooks.com with your address and I’ll get a copy of the Dying Season/Patriarch sent to you as an apology.
