The order the books were released — the default way to read the series.
Cooper Devereaux is a police detective in Birmingham, Alabama, whose personal losses have left him with little left to lose — which makes him both an effective investigator and a liability to everyone around him. Andrew Grant's second series moves from his earlier espionage work (David Trevellyan) into grittier American police-procedural territory: False Positive (2015) introduces Devereaux investigating a case tangled with his own past, and False Friend (2017) and False Witness (2018) continue his story across the Birmingham police department.
Read in publication order: False Positive (2015), False Friend (2017), False Witness (2018). Devereaux's personal history and department relationships develop across the three books.
Three: False Positive (2015), False Friend (2017) and False Witness (2018).
No — it's a separate series from his earlier David Trevellyan espionage novels and his later Paul McGrath series, though written by the same author.
