Beschreibung

After twenty years as a professional soldier, Decimus Julius Virilis - distant kin to the Imperator himself - has been commissioned the third in command of the newly formed Legio XII Brundisium.
 
It's his last assignment before retiring from Caesar Augustus’ legions - and turns out to be much more dangerous than he anticipated. After being shipped off to Dalmatia to fight the rebels waging war against Rome, the untrained legion immediately blunders into a death trap deep in enemy territory, leaving the commanding officer and his lieutenants dead.
 
Decimus is commanded by the heir apparent, Tiberius Caesar, to find the mastermind who planned the diabolical trap and is attempting to plunge the Roman Empire back into a civil war. But can the Roman tribune see the unseen and solve a crime others think is impossible?
 
Set in the time of the Roman Empire, Death By Greek Fire is the first book in B.R. Stateham's 'Decimus Julius Virilis' series of historical mystery novels.

    In the idyllic English town of Shepton Rise, drama is a way of life for Ginny Fellows—but usually, it stays on stage. As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take centre stage as an unlikely sleuth. 
    Her investigation draws her into the world of the local amateur dramatics society, a hotbed of rivalries, secrets, and larger-than-life egos. The plot thickens as Ginny discovers that almost anyone in the group might have had a motive for murder. Yet Ginny has her own challenges to face—crippling panic attacks make it nearly impossible for her to leave the safety of her home. 
    With the steadfast support of her eccentric clients, the Dead Actors, and her devoted friend Adam, Ginny must summon the courage to step into the spotlight and untangle a web of lies and deception. 
    A delightful whodunit brimming with wit, charm, and theatrical flair, Murder in the Wings is a cozy mystery that proves all the world’s a stage—and the stakes have never been higher.

    Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.

    Book 19: Psychic VisionsRemember...The haunting refrain torments Bethany, almost as much as the horrors of what she’s forgotten. Chased, terrified, and injured, she races away from a gunman into the woods, determined to once again escape those after her. Hunter’s first meeting with Bethany reveals an injured, exhausted, and possibly dangerous psychic. Plus she was uncooperative, barely civil, keeping everyone at arm’s length. Only she needs help, and he is the one available. Time for the hunted to turn hunter, and that is his domain. Especially if he gets to champion the underdog, which, in this case, is a prickly and way-too-beautiful woman, whom he doesn’t want to let out of his sight. Not only is she being tracked but they want her back as a captive. A captive to do their bidding. And they’ve enlisted another of their group, her ex-best friend Lizzy, to hunt down Bethany. They want, no need, her to remember who she really is. With Hunter at her side, Bethany fights for survival, racing toward an explosive reveal that leaves them all gasping, as their world turns upside down.
