'Stand alone' thrillers:

These three novelettes can be read as stand alone stories although readers may enjoy 'The Butcher' more if they are familiar with the main characters in the trilogy — Doctor Colin Powers and Detective Inspector Carver — as this tale fleshes out the backstory of how these two 'heroes' first started working together.
