1. Funeral Sites
How slavishly Aidan Britton had seen to every detail of his wife’s funeral – starting with her murder.
Fortunately for dear departed Phoebe, someone was on to him. Her sister Rosamund Sholto knows that Aidan, an ambitious politician, is regarded as Britain’s brightest hope. Everywhere she turns, people praise his charisma, power, marriage alliance with the legendary Sholto family and his impeccable personal life. And now the whole country grieves with the tragic widower.
Only Rosamund realises how dangerous and ruthless Aidan is. She knows he would stop at nothing to prevent her exposing his past. From Switzerland to England, helped by the redoubtable Tamara Hoyland, Rosamund flees for her life.
2. No Man’s Island
Recently discovered oil on the barren and isolated island of Forway has caused a plan for evacuation so that the entire island can be used for an oil rig. The islanders, however, intend to declare their independence from England. Tasked to spy on the potential revolt, Tamara Hoyland soon realizes that her services as a detective will be more needed then her services as a spy. In addition to the politically volatile situation, bodies start to be uncovered…
3. Grave Goods
The coronation of Charlemagne on Christmas day in the year 800 was the central event of the middle ages and altered the history of the world.
One of the sets of his regalia is the subject of Grave Goods. Tamara Hoyland the clever, cool heroine of earlier novels, finds that someone is trying to kill Margot Ellice, a woman who is only interesting for one reason – she is writing about the life of the morganatic wife of a Prince of Horn, in the mid-nineteenth century. The material is correspondence between her, the former Lady Artemis Bessemer, and her sister Lady Clementine, written from the Horn family palaces in Prussia.
Margot’s book opens with the sentence, ‘Lady Artemis Bessemer was sold by her father to the hereditary prince of Horn in the autumn of 1858.’ Now an exhibition is to come to London from Prussia – a diplomatic gesture by the east Germans. The centrepiece will be Charlemagne’s regalia, which were thought never to have left the Horn palace at Drachenschloss before. But in doing research into the Horn family, Margot seems to have aroused passions, from greed to embarrassment or terror. She will not be the only person to die as desperate attempts are made to discover what really happened to those ancient treasures.
4. A Kind of Healthy Grave
The quiet, predictable English town of Carmell hides a world of shifting identities and deadly secrets, centring on two highly respected members of the community…
In 1929, a decadent artist known only as Rex disappeared when his caravan was destroyed by fire.
And now Rex’s fiery death seems to be reverberating into the present day, as Tamara Hoyland discovers after infiltrating a new, rapidly growling moralistic movement called ‘Watchwomen’. But what is the connection between Rex and Watchwomen? And are the individual watchwomen as innocent as they seem?
Hoyland follows a serpentine trail through an investigation that proves her as subtle and ruthless as her quarry…
5. Death Beyond the Nile
Was it murder… or something else
Tamara Hoyland is working undercover as a tour guide in Egypt. She’s been sent to keep an eye on Janet Macmillan, a government scientist whose research could threaten British security.
The group is a real motley crew – including a television star, a failed poet, a businessman, an archaeologist and the scientist herself. But by the time they reach their excavation on a remote island, two of the group are dead.
Are the deaths related? And is there more than one killer? With ransom notes and double identities, this won’t be an easy crime to solve.
