The novels in the
Frederick Troy series share the eponymous protagonist Frederick (he doesn't like any form of his given name, preferring
to be addressed by his surname) Troy, the younger son of a Russian immigrant father who's become a wealthy newspaper
publisher and baronet. Defying class and family expectations, the independently wealthy Troy joins Scotland Yard,
becoming an investigator on the "murder squad". The novels range from war torn London of the 1940s through to
the 'swinging' London of the 1960s.
The second audio book (Old Flames) and fourth audio book (Riptide, aka
Bluffing Mr Churchill) in this series do not appear to be available so far. 

* Black Out [Book 1 -
1995] ED,  12 hours 41 mins,  48kbps. Thanks to Pinky and CaptainSky
The Blitz, London 1944 - as the
Luftwaffe make their last desperate assault on the city, Londoners take to the shelters once again and eagerly await the
signal for D-Day. In the East End children lead police to a charred, dismembered corpse buried in a bombsite. The victim
is German and it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary murder. For Russian emigre Detective-Sergeant Troy it is
the start of a manhunt which will lead him into a world of stateless refugees, military intelligence and corruption in
high places. A manhunt in which Troy is both the hunter and the hunted. 

 * A Little White Death 
[Book 3 - 1998] CD, 17 hours 22 mins, 32 kbps. 
London in the swinging '60s provides the setting for this latest in
Lawton's series featuring Scotland Yard lawman Frederick Troy. Troy finds himself a reluctant attendee at several
country weekends where a flashy acquaintance, Dr. Patrick Fitzpatrick, holds sybaritic court. The aristocratic Troy has
been, equally reluctantly, attempting to acclimate himself to the wide-open atmosphere of the new England, a country in
the grip of a seismic social and sexual upheaval. Fitz and several government cronies have been shagging a pair of
beautiful twins, the Ffitch sisters, and the equally lovely but underage Clover Browne. When Fitz is arrested for
"immoral earnings and procurement," Troy escapes the media spotlight, confined to a sanatorium with a nasty
case of tuberculosis. Troy rallies to investigate after several participants in the Fitz scandal are found dead. The
whodunit phase takes several hundred pages to ignite, but Lawton is such an entertaining, literate storyteller it
doesn't really matter. Once the now frail Troy steps in, neither threats, beatings, near-drowning nor shooting can
frighten him off the case.

* Blue Rondo US title: Flesh Wounds [Book 5 - 2005]  CD,  12 hours 6
mins, 32 kbps
The backdrop is London in the late 1950s. The East End is ripe for redevelopment; the property sharks
are buying up the bombsites and Victorian terraces; corruption is rife; the Kray brothers are running amok; Macmillan is
PM of a shaky Tory government; Gaitskell expects to succeed as the first Labour PM for almost a decade to the delight of
Troy's brothers, one an MP, the other a Fleet Street editor. Troy's last big case had been to protect the Russian
leaders, Bulganin and Khrushchev on their first visit to Britain in 1956. Now a series of increasingly sadistic murders
occurs on his old East End patch; a wartime girlfriend, who became a GI bride - since married to a Republican
Presidential candidate - reappears into his life. Nor is she the only woman to occupy his bed in the tiny terraced flat
in Goodwin's Court, off St Martin's Lane. When the retiring US President Eisenhower makes a farewll visit to London, all
Troy's worlds combine in a frightening creshendo of corruption and violence. (The title, Blue Rondo, is taken
from a Dave Brubeck record).

* Second Violin [Book 6 - 2007]  CD, 15 hours 12 mins,  32 kbps.

Lawton's sixth installment of Frederick Troy's adventures not only goes back in time
from previous entries (A Little White Death, 2006, etc.) but also expands its scope from Frederick alone to the equally
active lives of his father and brother.In Vienna in the late 1930s, as the violence of the Nazi Party is growing more
virulent, the story is covered by Rod Troy, a reporter for The Sunday Post, a newspaper owned by his eminent
father, Alexei. Decades ago, Alex also spent years in Vienna, some of them, Rod learns, as a psychiatric patient of the
energetic Sigmund Freud. In London, Alex has encounters of his own with Winston Churchill, Harold Macmillan et al.,
concerning the threat of Hitler and the looming war. Alex, himself a Russian emigre, writes a bristling editorial about
Russia for the Post as his son Frederick, Rod's brother, continues his ascent to Scotland Yard's Murder Squad. On the
eve of Kristallnacht, Rod contemplates ensuring the safety of his family by fleeing Vienna. In London, Alex continues to
have Churchill's ear as the government prepares to incarcerate recent immigrants deemed suspicious - a program to be
carried out by Frederick and his colleagues. In the midst of this turmoil, as the bombing of London begins, Frederick
probes the hit-and-run death of a rabbi that seems an ordinary crime until another rabbi is killed in his own
synagogue.History and politics again add depth and texture to Lawton's impressively complex thriller. (Kirkus
Reviews)
