OverviewThe Woman Who Cried Diamonds: An expensive and distinctive diamond - the Teardrop - is stolen, and Detective Matthew Blake is called in to find it. As he investigates, Blake discovers far too many coincidences connecting each of his suspects, not the least of which is the fact he was playing poker with the diamond's owner only the night before. When the name Shenna Tarin surfaces, however, Blake begins to fear the depth of the case is more than he can handle. Five years earlier, Blake had hunted the prolific jewel thief Tarin and was finally able to put her away; but not before their relationship had progressed to something which had destroyed his marriage. With Tarin's implication in the theft of the Teardrop, Blake is forced to investigate not only the crime, but also the possibility he might not be quite over the only woman in life he has ever truly loved. The Murder of Loyalty: When Constable Caroline Lees fails her detective's exam, she falls under the wing of Detective Ray Barden. Together they investigate a drunken brawl which saw a man thrown in the river. Returning home, Constable Lees discovers her boyfriend Harry was responsible. As a body washes ashore, the investigation becomes the hunt for a killer, and Lees doesn't know how much longer she can keep her boyfriend out of the limelight. A closer examination of the body reveals a stab-wound that turns the case into a murder investigation. As she falls deeper into the lies, Lees knows her only chance of saving her career is to keep Barden well away from Harry. It becomes a dangerous game between a true detective and a failed one. Also includes the story, Chasing the Shadow Man.

My first e-book was Operation WetFish: Vampire Detective, followed by a mainly unconnected series of dinosaur stories, the first of which was titled Dinosaur Prison World. I like to write serials which can be read without reading all the ones which came before. There's nothing more off-putting than a book you can't understand! I work in as many genres as possible and read anything I can get my hands on, but have an especial love of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Alexandre Dumas. They both understood stories should be fun. Primarily I enjoy exploring characters; and the best thing about continuing fiction is gradually changing characters with whom the reader can laugh and cry and love and hate. And finally I think every book has room for humour, especially when it's inappropriate. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
