In this classic British mystery starring a sleuth who "has her
place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or
Hercule Poirot," Miss Silver investigates a case of marital murder
(Manchester Evening News). Lois has always dreamed of being a
Latter. The Latter brothers are both so attractive--nearly as
handsome as their stately manor, Latter End. After she spoils her
relationship with one brother, Lois succeeds with the other,
winning his heart with her good looks and a sizeable fortune from
her first marriage. But even after they've wed, she never quite
fits in with the family. Still, she hardly expects them to kill
her. When the psychic Memnon warns her of murder by poison, Lois
laughs it off and so does everyone else, but then, like clockwork,
she's dead. The weapon? Poison, of course. Only the brilliant
governess-turned-detective Miss Maud Silver can solve this
tantalizing case complicated by the bitterness that infests Latter
End.

Ironworker Wayne Colson has come to the real estate office where
his wife, Carmen, works at the worst possible time: while Ojibway
Indian hit man Armand Degas and loose cannon Richie Nix are there
to shake down Carmen's boss. Unable to help himself, Wayne steps
into harm's way . . . and sends the two malefactors out the door
bleeding. Now the shooter-for-hire and his ex-con partner are after
the Colsons and there's little the state police and local law
enforcement can do about it. The best the feds can offer is the
Witness Security Program. So it's coming down to just Wayne and
Carmen--and ultimately to Carmen herself--to deal with two
rough-trade misfits with murder on their minds.

recluse. A missing girl and a community in fear. When the body of a
young local girl is found next to an isolated lake, the main
suspect is the old recluse who has lived next to the lake for many
years - especially when the young girl's purse is found on the old
man's doorstep. But DCI Emma Gardner and her partner DI Paul
Riddick aren't so sure. Why would the old hermit leave such an
obvious clue? And who would want to set the old man up? As they dig
deeper into the murder they discover a community in fear,
determined to keep hold of long buried secrets. And Riddick is
convinced that his own dark past is somehow linked to this crime,
too. Gardner fears that she may never get the answers she needs,
until a break leads her down a path she'd rather not face. One that
runs directly to her own front door... What people are saying about

one. Intricate plotting, devious twists and excellent
characterisation take this tale to a whole new level. Any serious
crime fan will love it!' Bestselling author Owen Mullen
