Order of DC Smith Books

Detective Chief Inspector-turned-Detective Sergeant - DC Smith is the compelling central figure of British author Peter Grainger's acclaimed crime fiction series. This complex character represents someone with the experience and wisdom to have hung up his badge years ago (much to the relief of some colleagues), yet he continues his police work in a reduced capacity as a detective sergeant.

Grainger launched the DC Smith series in 2013 with the inaugural novel An Accidental Death, and readers have been following Smith's investigations ever since, with the series still active today. The books are published in chronological sequence, so following the publication order will take you through Smith's cases as they unfold.
