Police Scotland? Huh? [Cullen news]
Quick note to update you all on some tweaks I’ve made to my books.
I had too many series with overlapping chronology, which was confusing as heck, so I’ve streamlined all of the Cullen, Hunter and Cullen & Bain books into one single series, entitled Police Scotland.
I’ve consolidated a few things, resequencing them so that Dead in the Water (previously Cullen & Bain 5) is now the first in the series, which I think gives a lot more context to Cullen, Bain and Hunter as characters. As well as weaving the Hunter books into the flow of the Cullen stories, I’ve added two new editions: The Cold Truth, Cullen & Bain 1-3; The Dead End, Cullen & Bain 4 & 6 (plus the bracketing chapters from 5 as an interlude). If this works, I could merge in the Dodds books too – watch this space.
One of the advantages of this is it gives me a model for future books in this world. I said never, but I never should’ve said never again. I’ve got plans to do two short novels in this, which will be exclusive to members of my Readers’ Club.
The Police Scotland series:
- Dead in the Water
- Ghost in the Machine
- Devil in the Detail
- Fire in the Blood
- Stab in the Dark
- Cops and Robbers
- Liars and Thieves
- Cowboys and Indians
- The Missing
- The Hunted
- Heroes and Villains
- The Black Isle
- The Cold Truth
- The Dead End
Check them all out on Amazon:
Thanks again – I’ll be back in a couple of days as we launch THE TURNING OF OUR BONES!
Cheers,

Well done. That must have been a task and a half to sort out!
Ed James
Absolute nightmare!

Where does Cuddly Toy fit into all this
Ed James
Hi Kevin, it’s after The Missing. Hope that makes sense.
Evelyn Clark
Started reading Cullen series. Great reads and humour.
Ed James
Excellent to hear — hope you keep enjoying them!
Kevin John Vince
Great effort and it would definitely be good to sequence in Vicky Dodds
Ed James
Thank you for the feedback. I have wondered if that makes sense, so good to get an idea. Cheers!
Kevin John Vince
Great work and it will be good to sequence in Vicky Dodds

I’m really confused!
I’ve read them in this order (except Dead in the water), I based this on a previous page I saw on here with the reading order of their old titles (Cullen, bain etc rather than police Scotland). However, after The Black Isle I’ve then read the below in this order:
City of the dead
World’s end
Hells kitchen
Gore glen
Dead in the water
The last drop was next on my list but I can’t find it anywhere on Amazon for my kindle, but I also now don’t know where it fits in to your new list?
Please help!
Ed James
Hi, I collected the last drop and gore Glen into The Dead End. It’s available in kindle unlimited, if that helps?
Rosie Keene
Hi this is the order I have been reading in, I noted this down from another article I found on here, but based on the above I’m not sure which to read next, I have just finished Dead in the Water, but cannot find The Last Drop anywhere? Please help!

Great idea, thank you! I had stopped reading your books because I was so confused! Also, I had mixed up your Bain character with JD Kirk’s Hoon character, so that made it much worse! Now I’m all sorted out, at least for a while!
Ed James
Bain has about nine years on Hoon! I hope this clears it all up and you can keep enjoying them!
