Echoes of Lies #1
Brodie Farrell finds things for a living, and when she’s asked to locate the whereabouts of Daniel Hood, she sees nothing suspicious in the request. She finds the young man, passes the details on to her client, and commends herself on a job well done. But when the young man is found brutally tortured and left for dead, Brodie is overcome with guilt. Still blaming herself when Daniel asks for help, Brodie finds it impossible to do the sensible thing and walk away. He needs to understand what happened: Until the attack, he’d never known an enemy in the world. The men who hurt him were looking for someone named Sophie, and Daniel knows no one by that name. Finding the authors of Daniel’s misfortune, in the end, resolves nothing. It only leads them both into a deeper, more complex tragedy than either imagined possible.
True Witness #2
A teenage boy is beaten to death with a wheel brace on an abandoned pier. There is one eye-witness to the crime. The police are convinced they have the murderer, they just need a positive identification to lock him up for good. Neil Cochrane was the prime suspect in a serial killer investigation ten years ago and only a travesty of justice allowed him to walk free. The new murder fits the profile exactly and this time he won’t escape. That’s what Detective Inspector Jack Deacon believes and he is a determined man. But Daniel Hood is the eye-witness and he is not prepared to bow to pressure and identify Cochrane when he is not convinced that this is the man he saw. As the town starts baying for blood, Brodie Farrell once more steps in to defend her friend. A taut, compelling exploration of love and honour, True Witness is the second book in the series featuring Brodie Farrell and Daniel Hood.
The Depths of Solitude #4
Brodie has a solid network of friends – except for one. Daniel Hood has been ignoring her since a bitter disagreement ripped their friendship apart at the seams. Then Brodie’s car windscreen is smashed, then the vehicle itself is set alight – and Daniel appears to be the man behind it.
Breaking Faith #5
Brodie Farrell’s business ‘Looking for Something’ prides itself on locating just about anything a client wishes. However her work is cut out for her when she is asked to find the ideal pad for successful ‘demon rocker’ Jared Fry. To the amazement of Daniel, her shy awkward best friend, Brodie loves a challenge and soon finds the ideal location for the rocker at the old coaching inn ‘The Diligence’. Charmed by Fry’s business manager Eric Chandos, Brodie wraps up the deal until matters take an ugly turn and a body is discovered on the rocker’s new estate.
Requiem for a Dealer #6
Brodie Farrell is a busy woman, what with running her one-woman firm Looking for Something? and raising her daughter. So on her night off, all she wants is to spend a relaxing evening teaching her friend Daniel Hood to drive. But the evening takes a disturbing turn when Daniel hits a young woman who seems to appear out of nowhere. The girl, Alison Barker, is mostly uninjured, but before she runs off she accuses Daniel of trying to kill her.
The other man in Brodie’s life, Detective Superintendent Jack Deacon, isn’t much help; he’s too busy investigating a dangerous new drug called Scram. But when Alison Barker turns up at the hospital, not as a result of the car accident but because of the lethal amount of Scram in her system, Jack is forced to get involved. Alison claims that the death of her father, a local purebred horse dealer, was murder—and that unless someone helps her, she’ll be next.
Brodie once again finds herself torn between the two men in her life—Daniel believes Alison’s story, Jack doesn’t. It’s up to Brodie to infiltrate Alison’s world of show jumping and discover the truth herself, before it’s too late.
Flawed #7
“You can waste a lot of time looking . . . or you can pay me to find it for you.” So goes the slogan of Brodie Farrell’s one-woman detective agency. Although Brodie has made some surprising—and dangerous—discoveries while working as a modern-day treasure hunter, none of them has turned her life upside down in quite the way that her unexpected pregnancy does.
The timing is particularly awkward because Brodie has recently separated from her partner, the prickly Detective Superintendent Jack Deacon. To complicate matters further, Detective Inspector Alix Hyde has set her sights on Deacon while simultaneously trailing a mysterious criminal—and one-time friend of Deacon’s—Terry Walsh, who has a habit of springing surprises of his own.
As ever, Brodie’s best friend, Daniel Hood, will do anything to help her—even taking a leave from his beloved teaching job so that he can look after her business while she takes care of the baby. But soon Daniel is preoccupied with the well-being of young Noah Selkirk, who seems to be collecting more bruises than is reasonable even for a twelve-year-old boy, and is strangely linked to the Walsh case as well. . . .
As their entanglements weave together in complex patterns, all of the parties have to face the consequences of their own mistakes. But it’s the flaws that make all of us human—and perhaps that ultimately make us stronger.
Closer Still #8
Detective Superintendent Jack Deacon doesn’t take kindly to threats made on his family. So when local crime boss Joe Loomis starts to menace his infant son and the child’s mother, Brodie Farrell, Deacon is prepared to do whatever it takes to protect them. However, the danger of Loomis is not something he will have to worry about for long.Brodie has made a career out of finding lost things, but the last thing she’d want to look for is a man she’s taken great pains to lose. Annoyance is quickly replaced by horror when she finds Loomis at her door collapsed in a pool of blood – stabbed to the verge of death with his own knife. But it’s the gangster’s enigmatic last mutterings that threaten to tear apart her tenuously held family. With Deacon under suspicion and Brodie on the hunt for the crook’s killer, both are pulled into a world of twisting family ties and terrorism. Little do they know that the murder of one small time crime boss will unearth a sinister plot that could devastatingly impact far more than the pair’s domestic life.
Liars All #9
Brodie Farrell has been asked to find some strange things in the course of her business, but this time it’s personal. She’s searching desperately for a cure for her baby’s cancer. Attempting to keep the business afloat in her absence, Brodie’s devoted friend and assistant, Daniel Hood, undertakes the hunt for a necklace stolen in a murderous robbery. Typically, his sense of fair play keeps him looking for the jewellery when a wiser man would have given up. After the first attack on him. Certainly after the second. Brodie’s partner, Detective Superintendent Jack Deacon, investigates – partly as a distraction from his son’s illness, partly because he begins to suspect that the hand behind these events belongs to his old adversary, Terry Walsh. But Walsh has his own agenda, and his first priority requires something that only Deacon can give him. What he offers in return presents Deacon with an agonising dilemma.
