3. Murder Among Thieves
An armed robbery against one of the most impenetrable trucks ever invented. Two murdered guards, a further two hospitalised and unable to identify the perpetrators. It soon becomes apparent that this was a well-planned heist, with over one hundred thousand pounds taken. But Detective Inspector Fusil has very little information to go on and following coincidental clues, gut instinct seems the way to go.
The net is closing in on the criminals, until one by one, they also show up murdered. Is one of the armed gang turning on their team? Just who is behind these mysterious murders? The suspects all have alibis and none of the stolen money. The case begins to fall apart and Fusil can’t stop himself questioning his instincts. But what if he has looked at the case from the wrong angle?
Can he convince his superiors to follow through on one more line of questioning? Fusil’s theory may seem far-fetched, but if it’s right, he may be able to capture one of the most dangerous villains around. The one that no one would ever suspect…
4. Guilt Without Proof
The hijacking of a lorry filled with whiskey. A body discovered within a burnt-out cellar. Are they connected?
Detective Inspector Fusil believes they are. All he requires now is some evidence. But that’s easier said than done. Sending his already over-worked team out into the field, Fusil is under strong scrutiny from his superiors. Politics prevent him from chasing his biggest lead too closely. His budget prevents him from spending too much time searching for new leads.
Gut instinct points him in the direction of Findren and Sharman, two local wine sellers that have establishments large enough to handle the whiskey heist.
But can he prove that either of them were involved? Ordered by his chief inspector to move on from those two and search elsewhere for suspects, Fusil is fast running out of evidence to catch the criminals. Unless he breaks the rules…
Putting his career on the line, he disregards orders in search of the truth. Can he catch the perpetrators before his insubordination is discovered?
8. The Murder Line
The line stretched from Hong Kong to Fortrow and along it passed the heroin that was making Ed Murphy rich…
His need to keep this line open is top priority and anyone who jeopardises this is expendable. But when a body is discovered, clearly murdered, Detective Inspector Fusil suspects that this is a hit for the mob boss. Soon the entire force is working the case. But can he trust everyone in his team? Detective Constable Fred Rowan is the first on the scene. Little does he know, this the case could ruin his career…
Meanwhile, Murphy is desperate to know whether the arrest of one of his couriers has compromised his supply. Threatening Rowan with releasing compromising information on Rowan’s wife, he believes he has his new inside source. Rowan is facing a difficult choice. Betray what he has worked for his whole life? Or save his wife? In the midst of marriage trouble, suspicions of fidelity and family priorities, Rowan knows he will do anything for her. But now he needs to act. Fast.
Can he bring himself to become a traitor? Does he report the blackmail? Or does he need to work alone to bring down this criminal boss before his family is ruined?
10. Murder is Suspected
A cyclist left lying at the side of the road…
Two witnesses to the hit and run are left shaken, their memory questionable. Thus begins a wide search for the offending vehicle…
Before long, a recently repaired car matching the description is identified. The problem is that it belongs to the chief constable of the police force and his son was the driver. Detective Inspector Fusil must now tread very carefully if he is to pursue this line of enquiry. If the public become aware of a possible indiscretion by such an influential figure in their community, uproar would ensue. Already under threat of being amalgamated with the local H.Q. into the larger county force, Fusil must keep his investigation under the radar. But when he is ordered to end his search for justice, Fusil decides to get creative with his methods. Following a drug link connected to the initial investigation, he soon stumbles across a much more sinister group of crimes – including murder.
Will Fusil put an end to this ring of lawbreaking? Can he provide enough evidence to identify the driver? And, most importantly, can he achieve all of this without risking his job?
14. One Man’s Justice
P.C. Wells has been refused a permanent position with the Fortrow C.I.D team…
It is a blow to his career that he was unprepared for. Working all his life to ensure others are safe, he is disheartened to think it isn’t enough. He prides himself on his work ethics and values. Until one night when he stops a Rolls Royce which jumped a red light. What was intended as a caution became an argumentative dispute with the local bigwig, William Bateman, in front of his evening companions.
Retaliation came in the form of a complaint against Wells. A claim that Wells was trying to extract a bribe from Bateman. Already saddened at the loss of a position in C.I.D. Wells is furious at this allegation. But without proof he is left with no choice but to accept the investigation against him. Unless he can clear his name by other means. Investigating the others in the vehicle, Wells is soon under pressure to desist in his inquiries. Pressure in the form of two thugs in the night.
But why put in the effort to ruin a career over being caught jumping a light? Or is something more sinister happening that Bateman is trying to divert attention from? Wells is determined to uncover the truth. Even if it means breaking the rules he has lived his life by. With his career stalled, he sees no point in treading carefully. A man who has nothing left to lose is willing to do anything…
