  It’s 1824 in London and all financial crime leads straight to the scaffold. So why does Henry Fauntleroy steal everything from his own bank – and why does he confess so readily to his crime? 
  World-weary magistrates’ constable Sam Plank knows only too well that Regency London is not all romance, society balls and dashing dukes. Sent to arrest Henry Fauntleroy, Constable Plank is determined to find out why the banker has risked his reputation, his banking house – and his neck. 
  The case makes its way through the Regency justice system, exercising the finest legal minds of their generation and dividing London society into the banker’s supporters and detractors. And Sam Plank desperately races against time to find the answers that can save Fauntleroy’s life. 
  Fatal Forgery is the first book in an historical crime series set in London in the 1820s. If you like your Regency reading with some shadow and reality, then you’ll love walking alongside Constable Sam Plank.

  Kevin Mallory’s self-centered mindset and utter lack of knowledge of the world don’t keep him from being picked as a vice presidential candidate, but they may keep him from converting his friendship with no-nonsense Kathie into anything resembling a romance. 
  His career as a grudging Customer Support Representative at the UniCast Cable Company is in jeopardy, his car has been repossessed, his finances are in the dumpster, his co-worker in the next cubicle hates him, and he’s failed at every romantic quest he ever started. 
  His disenchanted young friend, Spike, recreates him as a cartoonish internet avatar of outrage, fulminating against the social activists who he imagines are responsible for his below-average life. Mallory's brand of outrage is phenomenally successful, but his skyrocketing career is pulling him out of the orbit of the only woman in whom he has ever taken a mature interest.

The journey there introduces the intimidating Black Amazon of Mars.  "Grimly Eric John Stark slogged toward that ancient Martian city-with every step he cursed the talisman of Ban Cruach that flamed in his blood-stained belt. Behind him screamed the hordes of Ciaran, hungering for that magic jewel-ahead lay the dread abode of the Ice Creatures-at his side stalked the whispering spectre of Ban Cruach, urging him on to a battle Stark knew he must lose!
