Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
1. Death’s Disciple
For Detective Inspector Frank Miller it starts as just another day in the office. But then the body of the widowed matriarch of an old Whitby family is discovered.
Mabel Downing has been brutally murdered. She has been strangled — and her mouth filled with cassette tape and a copy of Bram Stoker’s Dracula has been left next to her body.
There is one obvious suspect – Charlotte Sanderson who discovered the body. But Miller has been having a relationship with Charlotte – and refuses to believe she could be guilty of such a terrible crime.
But if not her, who is the killer? Is Miller allowing his personal life to interfere with the investigation? What is the connection to Dracula – the Victorian gothic masterpiece partly set in the Yorkshire coastal town? And will the murderer strike again? Miller has to find out – before it is too late.
2. The Eve of Murder
The Yorkshire coastal town of Whitby is getting ready for the literary festival that is going to put it back on the cultural map.
But as the opening day draws near, the body of Georgina Callan, the festival’s organizer, is found dead on West Cliff – at exactly the same spot where her father threw himself to his death many years before.
Except her death was no suicide. She has been strangled.
An elderly dog walker reveals that he has seen her at the Cliff almost every night for the last year. She always has company, yet her male companion is not her husband. Was her death an isolated attack? Or is there a serial killer at large in the town?
Meanwhile, Don Watson, the famous writer and literary figure , is coming to Whitby to speak at the festival. He needs police protection because he has been receiving death threats.
Detective Inspector Frank Miller has a big job on his hands: solve the murder before the festival starts and keep Don Watson safe. Can Miller stop another killing. Or is this ‘The Eve of Murder’?
3. Bidding to Die
When Keith Hill finds the letters of Mary Linskill, an obscure Victorian novelist, during a holiday in Whitby, he is eager to find out how much they are worth.
He puts a listing up on eBay with a reserve of £500, and someone puts in an offer. But in less than 24 hours Keith is murdered. Local Detective Inspector Frank Miller is sent in to investigate. His team soon finds the man who placed the bid. But only because he’s been murdered too…
Dr. Alice Laine, a researcher from the local university is a specialist in Victorian literature, and is writing a book on Linskill.
She tells them the letters, being from a near-unknown author, would only fetch a few hundred pounds at most. And only universities would be interested. So why would anyone kill for them?
As he digs deeper into the mystery, DI Miller starts to get close to Alice Laine. But could his attraction to her be clouding his judgement?
As he gets mixed up in domestic disputes, academic feuds and local dramas, the whereabouts of the missing letters remain a mystery… Can he find the killer before he strikes again? Or will Miller be the next person Bidding to Die?
