When a man is found tucked up in bed with his throat sliced open two days after Christmas, DS Jason Smith and his team are baffled. It appears he has been drugged, killed and carefully wrapped up in a duvet. The only evidence Smith finds are some strands of hair belonging to a woman. One month later, another man is killed in exactly the same manner but there appears to be

DS Jason Smith and his team are investigating the murder of a man. He was drugged, then killed, and then tucked into bed as a parent would tuck in their child. A month later, another murder takes place. This victim, also, was sedated, then killed and tucked into bed.
There appears to be no connection between the victims ... no clues, no motive. They seemingly have nothing in common except for the fact the same weapon was used on both men .... and it was a full moon.

WOW what can I say I am absolutely loving this DS Smith series by Stewart Giles. Selene is book 6 and is another riveting page-turner. The series gets better book by book.

Christmas 2010 York – Lonely middle aged men are being brutally slain in the light of the full moon.
Romania 1985 – A young girl called Selene witnesses a human sacrifice and is kidnapped by the high priest.
How are these two events linked? Will DS Jason Smith figure it out before the killer strikes again?
So this is number six in the Smith series and I would highly recommend you read them in order just because you’ll miss out on some of the overall story line.

I have enjoyed reading every book in this series so far, and as soon as I started reading Selene (book 6), I knew that this one would not disappoint either! 1985, Selene, aged 10, lives in Borsa, Northern Romania, and witnesses something that she shouldn't have, resulting in her being captured and held for 6 years. Imagine at any age, let alone a child, being captured and taken away from your family and never knowing if you will see them again? And not understanding what was happening nor why?!

This is the sixth in the Jason Smith series and I have to say that these books get better and better. I'm enjoying the insight into Smith's character and, although at first I thought the writer had made a mistake by showing how immature Smith was in the first book, his character is developing from book to book and I now bow down to the author's superior knowledge. Smith is growing with each book.

Another page turner. I pace myself when getting Stewart Giles books as I can't put them down once I start.

I have been a fan of Stewart’s for a little while now and I absolutely adore the series featuring DS Jason Smith. I couldn’t wait to get a copy of ‘Selene’ and dive straight in. Well blimey oh riley this is one hell of a scary but brilliant read. I absolutely loved it but more about that in a bit.

This is book 6 in the amazing DS Smith series, and you really need to read the previous books to see what Smith has been made to go though and how it has affected him.
This book is another brilliant one in the series, with some nice big Red Herrings throughout and lots of nice little twists in it.
There is also happiness, with the inevitable love interest finally happening, and sadness with the death of another main character. Stewart is definitely not afraid of shaking things up in his books and ...more

I enjoyed the book and love the characters although Whitton is annoying me I know she may be jealous but she is coming across like teenager having tantrums, and a series loses something when a single character ends up in a relationship it seems to distract from the main story lines, this is not a criticism of the author! I love the series it is just if you are not reading a romance book it distracts me (I take it a fault on my part not the writers).

I enjoyed this one, it was well paced and the plotline was gripping.
I enjoyed the twists in this book and the ending was great. The characters were excellent as always and it was great to see the relationships develop even further as the team struggled to crack on of the hardest cases they have faced to date.
The writing style was great and I loved the layout and the punchy length chapters but I was a little disappointed that the Kindle book ended at 84% t ...more

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live. After Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later. 3 years and 8 DS Smith bo
