Jane Casey

Jane Casey is a crime writer who makes police procedure inseparable from loyalty, ambition, and the pressure of being watched by colleagues and suspects alike. The Reckoning gives Maeve Kerrigan a case whose violence tests both the evidence and her judgment of the people around her. The Last Girl narrows the field to a damaged family, using conflicting accounts to keep motive and sympathy in motion.

The Stranger You Know pushes suspicion toward Maeve's own professional circle, while After the Fire begins with a public disaster and uncovers the private structures concealed inside it. The Killing Kind shifts to a standalone legal and psychological pursuit, showing Casey's control beyond the Kerrigan series. Readers seeking the recurring detective can follow The Reckoning into The Last Girl; those wanting a self-contained collision of obsession, law, and danger can choose The Killing Kind.
