|  | | A Fatal Verdict
A mother's love, murder, and revenge
What would you do if someone murdered your child, but the justice system let you down?
Kathryn Walters is faced with this dreadful decision when her daughter, Shelley, is found dead in a bath in her boyfriend's flat. Despite the best efforts of the Crown Prosecution barrister, Sarah Newby, it seems likely that the boyfriend, David Kidd, will be acquitted. How can her family tolerate this? And how should the investigating detective, Terry Bateson, act when it seems that the murdered girl's mother is seeking revenge on the man he is certain killed Shelley in the first place?

Has Sarah, in her single-minded determination to create a career for herself, neglected her so much that she no longer knows him? He has often lied to her in the past, so how can she trust him when he says he is innocent this time? And what sh | |  | | Bold Counsel

A tragic love story and political thriller set in turbulent 1920s Ireland.

A fervent supporter of Sinn Fein, she is also the secret lover of Sean Brennan, an IRA volunteer who is being hunted by the police for terrorism and murder.

Ann knows it is her duty to marry Tom, but does n | |  | | Women of Courage
A Boxed Set of three historical novels - Cat & Mouse, the Blood Upon the Rose, and the Monmouth Summer.
Women of Courage
These three novels are very different but they have one thing in common: they are all about women who lived through dramatic periods in history, and showed great courage in fighting for what they believed to be right. All three books are works of fiction, but they are all based on careful historical research. Most of the historical events in them really did happen, more or less exactly as I describe. So although my three heroines - Sarah Becket, Catherine O’Connell-Gort, and Ann Carter - are creatures of my imagination, I think it’s fair to claim that real women very simil |
