A brand new series.
An iconic new detective duo.
And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .
Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of
investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines:
the pub quiz, his favourite bench, his cat waiting for him when he
comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is
daughter-in-law Amy’s business now.
Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private
security officer, she doesn’t stay still long enough for habits or
routines. She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous
author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job . . .
Then a dead body, a bag of money and a killer with their sights on Amy
have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race
around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a
deadly enemy?
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders. But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case.
Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it's too late?

firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out? And who will be
the last devil to die?
