FROM DOON WITH DEATH
Margaret Parsons was a predictable, ordinary woman, but now she had met a mysterious death of passion and violence for which there seemed no motive or clue...
'One of the best' - SUN
A NEW LEASE OF DEATH
There was no doubt in Chief Inspector Wexford's mind... Painter had commited the brutal crime and he'd been hanged for it. But now, fifteen years later, someone wants history changed and they are determined to prove the detective wrong, at any cost...
'A cause for celebration' - SPECTATOR
THE BEST MAN TO DIE
Was it just a coincidence that Charlie Hatton, a cocky little lorry driver, had been killed on the day following that of Mrs Fanshawe's regaining consciousness? And was it murder or not?
