Fall From Grace by Leye Adenle Published: 10 September 2026

The first novel in a sharp, timely and darkly funny new private investigator series from a vivid and unforgettable voice in the genre – perfect for fans of Mick Herron's Zoë Boehm and Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike.

Bobby Fatokun is no stranger to conspiracies. A former police officer turned ‘Bad Coach’, he now reforms corrupt officers within the Met. But when a client requests an urgent meet and then turns up dead, Bobby suspects there's more to the story than an accidental death.

Bobby's investigation leads him to a church where the victim had been working undercover, but he isn't the only one asking questions …The church's wealthy pastor has a powerful enemy at the heart of the British Establishment - one who will stop at nothing to neutralise a threat. As the pieces of their dangerous gambit fall into place, Bobby will have to tread lightly, or his search for the truth will turn deadly.
