Book Details
The truth doesn’t sleep — and neither does Detective Ryan.
Off Season
A Detective Ryan Mystery #1
by Clive Fleury
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Detective Ryan navigates drug overdoses, a mysterious foot on the beach and a long-buried
cold case.
Detective Ramesh Ryan’s career with Sydney’s prestigious Organized Crime Unit is on the up,
until he loses a court case against the city’s most powerful drug dealer. In disgrace, the
detective is relocated to the tiny Australian beach town of Barton.
It is off-season in Barton-when its few criminals usually take a well-earned rest. But not this
year! With the detective’s arrival, the town suddenly becomes murder central. Two bodies are
discovered in the space of days, both victims of drug overdoses. Then a mysterious foot is
found washed up on the beach, and memories are awoken of an unsolved cold case of the
teenager who disappeared fifteen years ago. Add to this a blossoming romance, along with a
contract taken out on Ryan’s life, and it’s clear that the detective has jumped out of the Sydney
frying pan into the Barton fire.
What follows is an action-packed adventure, thrilling at every turn-where truth and lies are
almost impossible to separate, and unexpected twists are the order of the day.

All Or None
A Detective Ryan Mystery #2
Returning to Sydney, Detective Ramesh Ryan is promoted to the Homicide Squad. Zoe Yang
joins him there. Now a detective herself, she is assigned as his junior partner. Straight up, the
cops are off and running-investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following
the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to past events.
As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the detective finds that he too, is in the
killer’s crosshairs. But Ryan is distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an
old university friend. He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new obsessive desire
for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to her recent medical tests? And
there’s another pressing problem-the plague of rats in his apartment block.
Detective Ryan’s hands are well and truly full!
Praise For ALL OR NONE
A riveting read. Anyone who likes mystery and crime, you won’t be able to put this down.
Thought it was an elegant continuation of this universe. – Carolina R, Amazon Reviewer
I really enjoyed this book. I love it when you keep changing your mind about who did it to find
out at the end that you’re still wrong. – Nancy F., Goodreads Reviewer
All or None exceeded my expectations. The murders kept me guessing, but what I loved most
was Ryan himself tough on the outside, vulnerable on the inside, and surrounded by challenges
that made him relatable. – Mary M., Goodreads Reviewer
I devoured this ARC in two sittings. The tension builds perfectly, and the clues are woven in so
well that you feel like you’re investigating alongside Ryan and Zoe. The personal subplots (his
mom, the romance, even the rats!) add depth without slowing down the action. – Minor C,

Author Interview
What inspired you to write this book?
My decision to write “All or None” the second book in the Detective Ryan mystery series,
came because I really liked the characters – Detective Ramesh Ryan, Zoe Yang, Mumta
Ryan — in “Off Season” the first book in the series. I wanted to explore where they would take
me.
What can we expect from you in the future?
Definitely more Detective Ryan mystery novels.
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in ALL OR NONE?
In my latest novel “All Or None” Detective Ramesh Ryan remains the principal character.
He’s bright, determined, and loves being a detective. However, he is socially inept, a bit of a
mother’s boy, and can be too stubborn and too much of a loner for his own good.
Detective Zoe Yang is Ryan’s junior partner. New to Sydney, she likes being a detective, but
it is not for her the be all and end all of life. A Ying to Ryan’s Yang, she is social, friendly and
outgoing. She is also indecisive… unsure about whether to stay in the city or return to beach
life on the Central Coast.
Mumta Ryan, Ramesh Ryan’s mother, was born in India, and met her late husband, British-
born banker Harold, in Australia. Although financially secure, Harold’s death ten years ago
has left an indelible mark on her, and she doesn’t intend to remarry. She loves trying new
things and flits from one passion/pastime to another.
How did you come up with the concept and characters for the book?
I’ve always loved thrillers and mysteries and so writing books that have both these elements
was a no brainer. I live for part of the year in a suburb in Sydney, Australia called Potts Point.
It is full of unusual and quirky people. I draw my characters and inspiration from here.
Where did you come up with the names in the story?
Names are my bête noire. I always have difficulty plucking characters names out of the ether.
I regularly have to go back to change a name when I am halfway through a book because I
think of a better name. This can cause major editing problems, and is not something I would
encourage any writer to do.
What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
Finishing it.
I think people who don’t write for a living have this romantic notion of writing being a
profession that is carefree and full of excitement. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Writing is all about discipline… It doesn’t matter how you feel you have to aim to get a certain
number of words on a page every day. It’s hard graft, and it’s only when you finally reach the
end of a novel do you get that feeling of excitement and achievement.
How did you come up with the title of your first novel?
It’s always difficult to come up with a title for a first novel, particularly when, as in this case,
the book is number one in a series. In my case I wanted a title that was short and snappy, and
gave some information about one of the themes of the novel. I thought Off Season fitted the
bill, as the book is about a city detective who is assigned to a sleepy town during the winter
when there are no tourists.
If your book was made into a film, who would you like to play the lead?
I would love to have Dev Patel to play my lead detective, Detective Ramesh Ryan in a TV
series.
Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your
imagination?
The jobs my lead characters do are real, but who or what they are comes mostly from my
imagination.
Is there a writer whose brain you would love to pick for advice? Who would that be and
why?
Lee Childs/James Grant. I would like to pick his brains on how he had the discipline to write
so many books about the same character, Jack Reacher, and to make all the novels
interesting.
How long have you been writing?
I’ve been writing since I left university in one form or another — first as a journalist, then as a
screen writer and finally, now, as an author.
Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as
you write?
The advantage of writing a series is that after the first novel, the principal characters are
established. Future books allow you to explore and expand on their quirks and idiosyncrasies.
However, other characters, those who begin as minor players, can start to push their way into
a book and become more important.
