5-Dreaming Of The Bones
Dr Victoria McClellan is writing a biography of the tortured poet Lydia Brooke, five years after Brooke’s tragic suicide. Victoria becomes immersed in Lydia’s life – she cannot believe the poet died by her own hand. So she calls her SI ex-husband for help in the case who receives terrible news…

6-Kissed A Sad Goodbye
Annabelle Hammond has been strangled, and the prime suspect is a busker called Gordon Finch. Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James find themselves investigating the history of two boys evacuated from London in 1939, Lewis Finch and William Hammond, allies 50 years ago.

7-A Finer End
A spellbinding novel of two mysteries – one contemporary, one ancient – that will challenge Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James as no case ever has… Jack Montfort grew up in the shadow of Glastonbury Tor in a town revered as the mythical burial place of King Arthur, and, according to New Age followers, a source of strong druid power. Montfort has little more than a passing interest in the history of the area – until he comes across an extraordinary chronicle almost a thousand years old… When a member of Jack’s circle is attacked and left for dead, he appeals to his cousin, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid, for help. For something terrible and bloody shattered Glastonbury Abbey’s peace long ago – and now it is about to spark a violence that will reach forward into the present…

8- And Justice There Is None
“Gemma James is adjusting to professional and personal changes that include her eagerly sought promotion to the rank of inspector – and a future now intricately entwined with Duncan Kincaid. But her new responsibilities are put to the test when she is placed in charge of a particularly brutal homicide: The lovely young wife of a wealthy antiques dealer has been found murdered on fashionable Notting Hill.” “Dawn Arrowood was six weeks pregnant. Her lover, Alex Dunn, a porcelain dealer in London’s bustling Portobello Market, appears absolutely devastated by her death, but the main focus of Gemma’s investigation is soon Karl Arrowood, who had the most powerful motive for killing his unfaithful wife.” But this case sets off warning bells for Duncan: It’s far too similar to an unsolved murder in which an antiques dealer was killed in precisely the same way. And when the escalating violence claims yet another victim, he and Gemma find themselves at increasing odds with each other – as two separate investigations become linked in the most startling of ways

9- Now May You Weep
Though her reputation for delving into the heart of murder is matched only by that of her former partner and current lover, Duncan Kincaid, newly appointed Detective Inspector Gemma James has never thought to question her friend Hazel Cavendish about her past. So it is quite a shock when Gemma learns that their holiday retreat to a hotel in the Scottish Highlands is, in fact, a homecoming for native daughter Hazel — and an event that has provoked strong reactions from the small community. Something is definitely amiss — and that something is quite possibly Donald Brodie, the charming if intense Scotsman who is a guest as well.

Though her reputation for delving into the heart of murder is matched only by that of her former partner and current lover, Duncan Kincaid, newly appointed Detective Inspector Gemma James has never thought to question her friend Hazel Cavendish about her past. So it is quite a shock when Gemma learns that their holiday retreat to a hotel in the Scottish Highlands is, in fact, a homecoming for native daughter Hazel — and an event that has provoked strong reactions from the small community. Something is definitely amiss — and that something is quite possibly Donald Brodie, the charming if intense Scotsman who is a guest as well.

The truth comes out before long: Hazel and Brodie were once lovers, despite a vicious, long-standing feud between their families, rival local distillers of fine whisky. Their affair was fierce and passionate, and its fire might not have burned out completely. Certainly Brodie, now the domineering head of the family business, believes his “Juliet” still belongs to him alone — and he’s prepared to destroy Hazel’s English marriage to make it so.

A brutal murder puts Hazel’s very life in peril when she’s arrested for the crime. Hazel is the logical suspect, but Gemma knows nothing is simple in this place of secrets and long-seething hatreds. As even more damning evidence piles up against the friend Gemma never truly knew, the investigation into Hazel and Brodie’s history begins to take darker, more sinister and tumultuous turns. Gemma knows she will need assistance to unravel this bloody knot — and so she calls the one man she trusts more than any other, Duncan Kincaid, to join her far from home . . . and in harm’s way.
