1. Kiss of the Water Nymph
Seeking inspiration, hack writer Hector Mortlake embarks on a journey across late 19th century Europe. He invites the people he encounters to submit short stories to a contest but soon the travellers find themselves at an isolated hotel and caught up in a series of suspicious deaths. Could there be something to the local myth of the water nymph after all? Influenced by Hammer horror films and riddled with innuendo, this humorous tale is the first in a new series from prolific author William Stafford.
2. Xolotl Strikes!
Hector Mortlake and his valet Cuthbert are off on their second adventure when a book-signing tour of the States turns into a deadly race to Mexico in order to prevent a dangerous ritual that would resurrect the Aztec deity Xolotl and bring about the destruction of civilisation as we know it. Fast-moving and funny, this sequel to Kiss Of The Water Nymph will entertain fans of derring-do and innuendo.
