The Poison Cupboard
‘Here was the real culprit, the one who ought to have been in the dock: here the criminal whose folly and extravagance had led Peter into trouble….’
Hardworking Laura Swanton, a local G.P., has lavished all her affection on her wastrel twin brother.
But then he is sent to prison and his wife — of whose existence Laura has been unaware — comes to live with her and her mother.
Laura’s initial contempt for this woman curdles into vicious dislike, which finally becomes an obsession. She believes that she is the one who got Peter into trouble in the first place.
Somehow she must avert this threat to the very foundation of her existence. Somehow — but how?
Hang Time
Treachery is only a moment away…
What objections could there possibly be to plans for developing an abandoned East Anglian airfield into a theme park commemorating the American presence during World War II and the Cold War? A hard-working partner in the family’s wine and beer distribution business with warehouses close to the airfield, one-time Captain Craig, with an eventful military career behind him, does not expect to be drawn into mysterious undercurrents in the whole project, while at the same time grappling with his own problems in a passionate affair with the beautiful, uninhibited wife of a devious MP.
Only gradually does he realize that someone who has long borne him a grudge has been manipulating bewildering events, leading to his being charged with abduction and possibly murder.
