Book 8 – Call for the Baron
A series of minor thefts at Vere House prompts the owners to call in their old friend, John Mannering, to investigate. Whilst Mannering is doing so, the jewels and the famous Deverall necklace belonging to Lady Usk, a guest of the Vere’s, are stolen. Reluctantly, the police are brought in and much to Mannering’s disquiet, Scotland Yard send in Inspector Bristow, one of the few who suspect Mannering to be ‘The Baron’ — the cleverest jewel thief in the country. Mannering must prove his innocence when he discovers someone has planted the stolen Deverall necklace in his room…
Book 10 – A Case for the Baron
John Mannering (aka ‘The Baron’) is a former cracksman and jewel thief who is occasionally consulted by Scotland Yard when there is a particularly difficult, or mysterious, case to solve. Seemingly reluctantly, Superintendent Bristow contacts him because the police need help in tracking down some stolen precious stones, which have so far eluded them. Mannering suspects some sort of elaborate trap is being set and so very carefully lays down his own terms before rendering assistance. Then things change dramatically as the crime being investigated escalates from theft to murder. Were Mannering’s instincts correct in the first place?
Book 14 – Taking the Blame (Blame the Baron)
John Mannering (aka ‘The Baron’) runs Quinns, an upmarket emporium in London’s Mayfair. He is often called upon to solve difficult crimes, but this one is different. ‘The Baron’ is himself the victim as Quinns has suffered a night time burglary. To make matters worse, a cold-blooded killing has taken place and now he is the suspect. The chase to find the culprits is on and it is a question of who gets there first in the face of both mystery and danger.
Book 40 – The Missing Old Masters
When John Mannering (aka ‘The Baron’) set out to value on old lady’s paintings, blackmail, arson and murder followed. A young girl almost paid with her life for keeping silent, houses were destroyed to prevent detection, and Mannering was in instant peril of losing his life. The battle was for the truth – who was blackmailing whom and why – tested every skill he possessed. Breughel, Vermeer and other masterpieces meant big money – but brought big trouble for ‘The Baron’.
