Literature & Fiction

St Martins Pr

Fleet Street in the 1980s during a heat-wave, a setting which positively thrives on intrigue and where the phrase 'stab in the back' is synonymous with a journalist being summarily sacked, often whilst in the pub. The Daily Post has a new proprietor who seems determined to drive the paper down-market, promote extreme political views and ride roughshod over the trades unions and industrial relations. Gossip columnist Rain Morgan feels far from secure in her job, but neither does anyone else, especially when the new proprietor is found, quite literally, stabbed in the back at his desk. During a chaotic summer, life in the offices of the Daily Post becomes even more chaotic than usual, with invasions by protestors (both left and right wing), a heightened sense of megalomania, jealousy and paranoia, the discovery of typewritten death threats and the intervention of the bizarre, publicity-seeking psychic Ruby Dobby. And then knives, similar if not identical to the murder weapon, begin to be delivered to various members of staff, including Rain.

Private eye Laura Flynn investigates the death of her client, an Irish fashion designer, the fate of her long-gone father, and Mrs. Lotti's missing cat

Too Many Questions

A liar and a charmer, Jim Rush is a young American with a weakness for trouble. On the run from the British police - he's wanted for a murder he didn't commit - Jim finds a hideaway in St. Elena, a small Caribbean island where his English girlfriend, Jane, has secured them an invitation. Quickly tiring of the snobbery and childishness of Jane's uppercrust friends, Jim feels trapped. On the one hand, he can't seem to avoid a paparazzo bent on snatching pictures of Princess Diana on a neighboring island; the photographer, Jim knows, would be well paid for a shot of the man on wanted posters throughout London police stations. On the other hand, to stay among Jane's set means enduring the taunts of an egotistical host and joining in their puerile games. Jim can't resist playing a game of his own when he encounters a couple of small-time hustlers who claim to have found sunken treasure. When Jim attempts to turn the tables on these con men, the result is murder. Jim is once more a wanted man - and this time he may not get away so easily.
