Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
1. Nobody’s Perfect
The chairman of Barugt Pharmaceutical, Adam Huth, is found murdered at his desk in his office.
Called to investigate Huth’s sudden death, Detective Chief Inspector Masters and Inspector Green of Scotland Yard, find Huth slumped in his chair. Initial observations conclude that one of the company’s employees murdered Huth.
Faced with the prospect of eight hundred suspects, Masters and Green have their work cut out.
When all signs suggest the cause of death was an overdose of drugs, not self-administered the investigation’s complexity increases. In a company that has unlimited access to drugs, and with drug experts working within the company, Masters and Green find themselves searching for a needle in a haystack.
Adam Huth was a popular man. Anyone who knew him hardly had a bad word to say about him. This just made the case even harder … what motive could the murderer have had?
Mr Torr, the Personnel Manager, has something to hide. Masters and Green can sense it. Arousing their interest, Masters and Green start to dig into Mr Torr further. The matter of missing Metathiazanone tablets puts Mr Torr high on the list of suspects. Huth knew about the missing tranquilizers, and Masters and Green are almost certain Mr Torr murdered Huth out of fear of being sacked …
Mrs Huth had a lot to gain from Mr Huth’s death. His life insurance would have kept her going for a while … another suspect to add to Master and Green’s list.
Mr Huth was suffering from a kidney infection … according to Dr Mouncer, who prescribed the drugs that killed him. Yet another one to add to the list …
As the investigation takes them deeper into the profile of certain employees, the discovery of the missing drugs and its uses, surfaces. And the murderer’s motive behind the killing shocks everyone …
2. Death After Evensong
The body was found in the village school.
The vicar of Rooksby-le-Soken in East Anglia was found on Monday morning on a classroom floor with a hole through his heart—but no trace of the bullet. Indubitably he had been killed on the spot, the blood on the wall behind him was proof of that.
Detective Chief Inspector George Masters was sent by the Yard to sort things out and decided the method was less important than the motive. From his headquarters in the local pub Masters began his delving into the private lives of the villagers and soon discovered that the vicar was a much unloved incumbent.
No one had a good word for him and quite a number had considerably less than that. The publican and his Italian wife, with an attractive, still unwed daughter of twenty-eight, the local G.P. and his obstreperous son who ran a joint practice, the village carpenter, and the schoolmaster with a grudge, were only a few of the suspects Masters unearthed in twenty-four hours.
In a few days he had raked up enough dirt to put a lot of them on the spot. But in the end it was his capacity for remembering significant details and fitting them into the jigsaw that sorted out the man and the method.
3. Deadly Pattern
The bodies were buried in the sand dunes of the little Lincolnshire resort of Finstoft.
Four respectable, middle-class married women, all of an age. Another one was missing but her body had not been found when Detective Chief Inspector George Masters and his team were switched by Scotland Yard from the Rooksby case to that desolate East Coast holiday town.
Masters arrived in the midst of a north-east gale and set up shop in the only decent hotel open in February, the Estuary. With the laconic Detective Inspector Green and two sergeants to help him, he set to work to uncover the perpetrator of a series of murders by strangulation that had baffled the local police.
Faced with five murders, all obviously committed by the same hand, Masters started looking for a pattern, and a pattern he found—which led pretty quickly to the uncovering of the fifth body. But that was only the beginning. Nevertheless, it was the pattern of symbolism that finally brought Masters to the solution.
4. Sweet Poison
The death of Fay Partridge, a young widow who ran the very select Throstlecombe Holiday Camp on the north coast of Devon, presented the police with a singular problem. Her death posed the question, first of all, of how rather than who…
For Mrs Partridge died very suddenly of a liver complaint most unlikely in a woman of her age. And her two poodles, whom she had taken to the vet on the day of her death, expired the same day from the same cause. Toxic necrosis was the verdict on each, but neither the doctor who conducted the post-mortem on Mrs Partridge, nor the veterinary surgeon who examined the poodles, could find any trace of poison to account for the condition.
For Detective Chief Inspector George Masters and his team, the assignment was something of a relaxation. The Holiday Camp in high summer was a very pleasant place in which to work, the accommodation unusually attractive. But how to find a murderer without knowing the means by which the murder was committed presented Masters with a considerable challenge to his ingenuity…
5. Sick to Death
Detective Chief Inspector Masters and his aide Detective Inspector Green confront one of their most heartbreaking investigations.
They study a photo of a pretty girl in a tennis dress, with a beautiful smile, and fair hair across her eyes. The cause of death was a diabetic coma. Masters and Green commence a review of a life where they find admiration, affection, and even love for the golden girl who had once taken her disability in stride.
