Order of DI Nikki Galena & DS Joe Easter Books

DI Nikki Galena and DS Joseph Easter form the dynamic duo at the heart of Joy Ellis's gripping crime thriller series. DI Nikki Galena is a hardened police detective who has lost everything that mattered to her - having witnessed a girl's death and facing the reality that her own daughter will remain hospitalized permanently. These tragedies have transformed her into a relentless force against criminals, perhaps crossing lines in her pursuit of justice. Her aggressive approach has earned her an ultimatum: find a way to work alongside her new partner, DS Joseph Easter, or face the end of her career.

DS Joseph Easter brings a contrasting presence to their partnership as the pristine new team addition. While colleagues may call him "Holy Joe" for his clean reputation, this nickname overlooks his military background and combat experience. Behind his polished exterior lies personal turmoil, including a fractured relationship with his daughter, who holds him responsible for their family's dysfunction.

English author Joy Ellis launched this compelling series in 2010 with Mask Wars (also published as Crime on the Fens), marking both the series debut and Ellis's first novel. The series continues to captivate readers with new installments. The DI Nikki Galena and DS Joseph Easter books follow both publication and chronological order:
