Ominibus edition of three novels: The Doppelganger Gambit, Spider Play, Dragon's Teeth. Set in the future, detectives Janna Brill & "Mama" Maxwell
When detective sergeant Janna Brill's partner emigrated to a colony world, she expected a new partner. But not "Mama" Maxwell, the flamboyant oddball whose disregard of the rulebook has sent him up and down in rank more times than a yo-yo.
A partner like this could ruin her career...or get her killed...as they investigate a trio of baffling cases: an apparent suicide Mama believes is a murder, except the chief suspect has an ironclad alibi; a vantalized hearse and corpse that lead to smuggling and murder aboard a space station; and thefts and murder committed by a gang that penetrates and escapes at will through what should be impregnable security surrounding political fund-raisers.
Can something so perfect really be poisonous?
When Rachel and her husband Adam move to Maple Cottage in remote Cheshire, it should be the fulfilment of their dream to start a family.
Haunted by her past and challenged by events around he
During the Christmas Season, servants Jane Meyers and Alfie Dawkins search for missing persons from opposite sides of the social spectrum: a homeless man and the Duke's son.
