Order of Berger & Mitry Books

The Berger & Mitry series by American crime novelist David Handler pairs two unlikely partners in detection: Mitch Berger, a film critic from New York, and Desiree Mitry, a Connecticut State trooper. Their contrasting backgrounds create the kind of friction that makes for compelling crime fiction—these two characters mix about as well as oil and water, yet somehow form an effective investigative duo.

Handler launched this crime series in 2001 with The Cold Blue Blood, which garnered significant recognition as both a Dilys Award finalist and a Book Sense Top Ten selection. The series continues to this day, with each installment following the publication order that mirrors the chronological sequence of events.
