Detective Sergeant Kate Power is settling into her new life, and growing closer to her colleagues in the CID. But what seemed like a straightforward series of arson attacks results in the death of a vagrant and he murder is taking up Kate's professional time. Once the case is removed from Kate's capable hands, a quiet tennis lesson is interrupted by the discovery of a women's body in the tennis centre's showers. Her death appears to be from natural causes, but Kate suspects otherwise. Although it's not her case, and the DI in charge does not welcome her contribution, Kate soon finds that she isn't able to remain uninvolved.
As she was bonding with her squad in Birmingham's CID, Kate finds herself transferred to a new elite team much, however, against the will of the DI in charge. It's not long before she's suspended. And Kate finds herself fighting more than the obvious criminals.

Praise for Power Games:

"Another top page-turner with an ending that promises more to come in the life of the strong-willed but long-suffering Kate." Nuneaton Evening Telegraph

18th Century England is brought brilliantly to life in this riveting tale of intrigue and duplicity.

'The scene was an exact replica of the one that had taken place twenty-four hours earlier. John Rawlings stood in the shop at the Apothecaries' Hall buying the herb known as true-love. The only difference being that on this occasion both he and the shop owner were buzzing with intrigue as they discussed the extraordinary outbreak offood poisoning which had stricken the liverymen who attended dinner at the Worshipful Society the previous day. And how Liveryman Alleyn might have died had John not given him the remedy of true-love.
Except that the following day Liveryman Alleyn does die. And under the brief and guidance of London's famous blind magistrate, John Fielding, Rawlings is asked to investigate whether it is a case of deliberate poisoning.
But who would want to poison the apothecaries? And were they targeting the Society or specifically the deceased?
As John searches for gossip, he discovers that a fellow apothecary visited the dying man's house on the morning of his death, that the Beadle has fallen out with the Master, that a bereaved parent whose son died as a result of misdiagnosis has vowed vengeance on the entire Society.

John Rawlings, London's effervescent 18th Century apothecary and occasional sleuth, tackles his most intriguing case to date. Deryn Lake continues to entertain and enlighten us about one of the most romantic and turbulent ages in this brilliant historical mystery.

When Robbie McLaughlan, a Flying Squad officer with London's Metropolitan Police, shoots and kills a robber during a bank raid, his private and professional lives begin to fall apart. The family of the dead man discovers McLaughlan's identity, and abducts his young son with the intention of luring McLaughlan to his death. But McLaughlan is a man with a secret and, long estranged from his own father, he ultimately has no option but to turn to the man he despises, for only he can possibly help him.

South Florida's premier sleuth-about town strikes again in a deliciously daffy caper that takes a decidedly deadly turn...
When the Palm Beach Community Theatre needs a director for a production of Arsenic and Old Lace, Archy McNally tosses his megaphone into the ring. After all, Hollywood legend Desdemona Darling will be in the production. And while resident grande dame Lady Cynthia Horowitz wants a little of the spotlight to fall on her latest live-in hunk Buzz Carr, she has no intention of letting Buzz rehearse all day with the actress. Like Lady Cynthia, Desdemona has made marriage a cottage industry...
For poor Archy, there's more drama backstage than onstage and plenty of confusion everywhere, especially with fuzzy-headed Binky Watrous serving as stage manager. But when an actor takes a sip of prop wine and drops dead, the Palm Beach police suddenly take a special interest in the local theatre scene.
In a play filled with murderers, only Archy can separate the actors from the genuine article and bring down the curtain on the latest and most enjoyable of McNally's follies!
