If the woman they thought was killed 32 years ago is still alive - then why has Jim Fitzgibbon spent all those years in prison for her murder? And someone was cremated - so who was she? On the face of it, a nice easy investigation for private eye Claire Tanner. She should probably find it suspicious that someone is prepared to pay her more than she's ever earned before. But they are also ready to be lavish with expenses, including the cost of a business class flight to Vancouver and a first class hotel on Vancouver Island. Claire has never been to Canada. And she finds the idea of luxury accommodation, not to mention meals that would normally be beyond her budget, irresistible. If only she'd followed her father's advice and learned to keep her mouth shut when opening it could offend people who regard others' lives as expendable.

Book 2 in the Batterton Police Series. Jensen Bartholomew is Zooming with his brother, Cedric, when the door behind Cedric opens and a figure enters covered head to foot in a black gown and wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. As Jensen watches, the figure wraps something around Cedric's neck and pulls it tight. Cedric struggles to free himself and his feet stamp a furious tattoo on the worn lino beneath them, but the figure does not relent. Cedric sinks out of sight. The figure leans in close to the screen and points through it at Jensen. In a deep and gravelly voice, it says, 'You're next.' Then the screen goes as dead as Cedric. Before Detective Inspector Susanna David and her team have unravelled this first murder, others die - and Susanna uncovers a web that entangles not only their local MP but a much wider conspiracy.

Ted’s in a hotel room, with a woman named Bella, in the Canary Islands. He’s moments from death. He’s made it to the end and never paid for the drug dealing, gun running, or even the people he’s killed. Or has he? Let the trial begin. St. Peter said, “It doesn’t look good.”This other world, one we think of as the afterlife, isn’t as advertised. There is a God, but not the God people imagine. Ted’s judgment day will peel back the layers of his life. Is there redemption to be found? Before they can begin, Ted needs an advocate. After a lifetime of deceit, will anyone stand for him? 

R J Lynch writes about 1760s England and the American colonies not from the point of view of the aristocracy and the governing classes but as seen through the lives of the hard working labouring classes. Into this world comes a man intent on vengeance who finds that heaping wrong on top of wrong does not produce a right; his journey works iteself out against a background of redeeming love.

Pearl is born into a strict Christian sect. A normal young woman and sexual being, she is seduced by another church member and disgraced. What follows is a life of debauchery in which Pearl enjoys (and is enjoyed by) men and women. But Kat Carlton is a Christian writer if she is anything, and what we see at the end is the triumph of love - human love and God's love.

Another movie star's memoir saying how wonderful everyone has been? Not quite. Jimmy Carlton leaves a successful career with the BBC for an actor's life in Hollywood where he becomes a household name and a rich man. But Jimmy has a past his fans know nothing about and Winging It shows us his life with total honesty. He is frank about the men and women he meets in Hollywood: the (male) producer who trades a movie contract for a night with Jimmy; the virginal goddess film star who insiders know to be a nymphomaniac; the all-action male who always gets the girl in the last reel but with whom Jimmy has a passionate gay relationship. Then Jimmy comes as near to death as it's possible to do without ending up in a mortuary. If that really was the face of God he saw as life seemed to be ebbing away then everything has to change. But was it?
