This is 4th book I've read of this author. And the plot similarities does not change.1. There is always ONLY one suspect. And Hartley knows who he is from the start. The villain is always a foreigner and is dealing in either drugs, prostitution, arms or terrorism. One book was an American, another was Russian, another from Bulgarian and one was Egyptian.2. They are always in cahoots with some politicians3. The Super is always worried that Hartley doesn't know anything in spite Hartley always gets the villain. Super always tells him to be careful and to be "on egg shells". He is alway smooching and kissing ass of the villain. Always. And even the Chief Constable doesn't realize Hartley's potential.4. The word "upperstians" is created by the author and doesn't exist5. In the end Hartley always flies to the the Villain's home country to catch him.6. In all the books a police officer is sent from villain's native country to liaise with Hartley. And he and Hartley get along famously. They become best pals.7. And there is alway an hidden entrance that Blake Hartley knows as a boy. Always.I think the writer needs to get out of his comfort zone and change up from time to time to keep people interested in paying money.
