Simisola - 1994
In the quiet Sussex country town
of Kingsmarkham, the daughter of Nigerian physician Raymond Akande is
missing. "It's probably nothing, " says Dr. Akande to his
friend and client Chief Inspector Wexford, whose help he enlists.
But the days that follow prove the doctor dreadfully wrong. A young woman
is found murdered not Melanie, but the last person to have seen and spoken
to her. As Inspector Wexford's investigation stretches from days into
weeks, it becomes his unhappy obligation to counter the hopes of the doctor
and his wife. In Wexford's professional opinion, Melanie, like the other
young women, has become the victim of a serial killer with a horrifyingly
singular objective.

Rage - 1997
The woods outside of Kingsmarkham were lovely, dark, and deep. And they
were about to vanish forever when the new highway cut through them.
While Chief Inspector Wexford privately despaired about the loss of
his hiking grounds, local residents and outsiders were organizing a
massive protest. Some of them were desperate enough to kidnap five hostages
and threaten to kill them. One hostage was Wexford's wife, Dora. Wexford
and his team race to find the kidnappers' whereabouts. Because someone
has crossed from political belief to fanaticism, and as the first body
is found, good intentions may become Wexford's personal path to hell.
