The exciting new novel in the Trish Magiure series
Can Trish find out what goes on in the murky depths of the art world and save her family at the same time? Trish Maguire is blessed with a slug of unexpected free time when a big case settles before it gets to court. She plans to spend it with her family. Sir Henry Buxford, an influential acquaintance, has other ideas. He asks her to investigate one of his private charities, a magnificent art collection built up before 1914 and lost for most of the twentieth century. The work is right outside Trish's usual field, and she needs all the time she can get to help her 9-year-old half-brother adjust to life after his mother's murder. Only Buxford's passionate desire to protect the vulnerable people involved in the Gregory Bequest Collection persuades her to take on the job. Giving herself a crash course in the murkier end of the art market and learning more than she can bear about the suffering in the trenches during the First World War, Trish soon finds herself sharing all his concern. As the small job grows to monster proportions, invading her professional and private lives, it brings about a death she knows she will never forget.

Barbara Delinsky An Accidental Woman Pbk published September 2003 by Simon Schuster at Ł6.99 ISBN: 0743429958

From the bestselling author of The Woman Next Door comes another unforgettable story of friendship and love.
An unforgettable story that explores the ways in which we limit our own chances of happiness - and the accidents of fate that can set us free.

When she is suddenly arrested by the FBI and charged with a murder in California some years back, the locals are bewildered about the past of this well-loved woman. Poppy Blake is Heather's closest friend. She has worked hard to rebuild her life since a snowmobile accident confined her to a wheelchair. However, it is her guilt over past mistakes, more than her present disability, which is holding her back. Barbara Delinsky has written a tightly knit and compelling story that explores the consequences of denial and regret and celebrates the values of community, friendship, and ultimately the redemptive power of love.

See Review by Bernard Knight ex Home Office Pathologist and author of the highly acclaimed Crowner John series

A tough, gritty police procedural set in Leicester.
The discovery of a butchered pig deliberately left in a local mosque is the catalyst which ignites the simmering racial tension in inner-city Leicester into open warfare. As the police come under fire for their inappropriate response, and the violence starts to escalate, mixed-race Inspector Marjorie (Mo) Akanbai finds herself made into a convenient scapegoat. In addition to watching her painstaking community-relations police work go up in smoke and with her emotional life in crisis, Mo is faced with a terrified Serbian asylum seeker, the brutal murder of an Asian factory owner, a gang of white supremacists, a counterfeit CD scam and an unplanned pregnancy.
