Written in the early 20th century, the novel resonates with the adventure genre's themes of endurance and discovery, reflecting a literary style characterized by vivid imagery and robust character development. The reader is transported into a world where the psychological and physical challenges of the desert serve as a crucible for moral and ethical dilemmas, pushing the protagonists to their limits as they confront both external obstacles and their inner fears. Roy J. Snell, an accomplished author and a veteran of the United States Army during World War I, drew upon his personal experiences and observations of human resilience under duress to inform his writing.

This expertise imbues "The Desert Patrol" with authenticity, as Snell effectively captures the essence of survival in uncharted territories. For readers seeking a compelling adventure steeped in psychological depth, "The Desert Patrol" is a must-read. Snell's adept storytelling and rich prose invite you to explore the trials and triumphs of its characters while offering profound insights into human nature.

    A murdered ex-soldier. A British Army conspiracy. Can DC Ruth Hunter and DC Lucy Henry uncover the killer's identity before there's yet another cover-up. 
     
    When ex-soldier Ashley Campbell is brutally murdered outside a Peckham nightclub, Ruth's first thought is that it is gang related. Yet, as the investigation progresses, it seems that the victim's time as a recruit at Cranleigh Barracks might hold the key to the true identity of the murderer. As Ruth and Lucy uncover a brutal culture of bullying, racism and sexual abuse at the barracks, it seems that several officers in the British Army will go to any lengths to protect their identity. 
     
    Can Ruth find enough evidence to bring the officers to justice? And what will she do when new evidence appears to suggest that CID should have been looking far closer to home for Ashley's killer?

    November 1866: The grisly murder site in London's East End is thronged with onlookers. None of them expect the calmly efficient young woman among them to be a medical doctor, arrived to examine the corpse. Inspector Richard Tennant, overseeing the investigation, at first makes no effort to disguise his skepticism. But Dr. Julia Lewis is accustomed to such condescension . . . 
     
     
     
    To study medicine, Julia had to leave Britain, where universities still bar their doors to women, and travel to America. She returned home to work in her grandfather's practice—and to find London in the grip of a devastating cholera epidemic. In four years, however, she has seen nothing quite like this—a local clergyman's body sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner that she—and Tennant—both suspect is personal. 
     
     
     
    Days later, another body is found with links to the first, and Tennant calls in Dr. Lewis again. The murderer begins sending the police taunting letters and tantalizing clues—though the trail leads in multiple directions. Lewis and Tennant struggle to understand the killer's dark obsessions and motivations. But there is new urgency, for the doctor's role appears to have shifted from expert to target. And this killer is no impulsive monster, but a fiendishly calculating opponent, determined to see his plan through to its terrifying conclusion . . .
