Ambitious Scotland Yard Detective Sergeant Jack Gibbons calls on his friend, the wealthy man-about-town Phillip Bethancourt, for help with his latest case, the death of a middle-aged widower in a small town in the Cotswolds. What first appears to be an accident soon grows more interesting when tracing Charlie Bingham's movements on the evening of his death proves more difficult than expected. It seems Charlie was going to visit his girlfriend - but no one knows who she is. And when it turns out that Charlie was a very wealthy businessman, other suspects begin to pop up: his estranged daughter, who was in London on the evening in question, and an un-happy business partner who has no alibi.

A Safe Place for Dying
Published January 2007 by Minotaur Books at £17.99
ISBN: 0312351682
An extortion letter arrives at Crystal Waters, one of Chicago's wealthiest gated communities. Shortly thereafter, a mansion blows up. The residents want answers fast before another zillion dollar residence turns to rubble. They hire former businessman Dek Elstrom. Ruined by scandal, Dek may be down, but thanks to his rather droll sense of humour, he is nowhere near out. A former Crystal Waters resident himself, Dek now lives in the primitive, pigeon-scented turret of a castle his grandfather never finished building. He still loves his ex-wife, and he wants to solve this case to redeem himself in her eyes. Sadly, he soon becomes the main suspect.

The Red Chrysanthemum
Published January 2007 by Minotaur Books at £17.99
ISBN: 0312355327
This story is set in Japan, 1698. Sano Ichiro may be a samurai sleuth and the shogun's trusted advisor, but his growing power at court makes him - and his family - a target for treachery. And this time gruesome discovery brings especially tough questions. Lord Mori, heir to the shogun, is found grotesquely mutilated and murdered - with Sano's pregnant wife, Reiko, lying beside him naked and covered in blood. Sano seeks the truth behind the Rashomon-like accounts of the murder, the stakes are almost unbearably high, and the only piece of evidence is a white Chrysanthemum - stained red with blood.
