Synopsis

Captured by the enemy during World War Two, Percy Crow escapes in the bilges of a freighter from Soviet Russia to Hamburg.
 
There, he sells his secrets to the head of British Intelligence. But when Lord Maudlin Paterson hears Percy's account of the royal family's dark secrets, he sets out to find the truth, however repulsive it may be.
 
Decades later, the daughter of Maudlin's illegitimate Russian son suddenly blurts out Percy's name while being interrogated by the CIA - and Harry Paterson, Maudlin's legitimate great-grandson, is the only person she trusts.
 
Along with his lifelong friend George Northcliffe and the beautiful Serena Abenazo, Harry starts unravelling the clues. But can he discover his great-grandfather's secrets, and where will the rattling bones of the sepia images lead him?

But there’s a terrifying storm coming…
    
     
    When Fiona finds the bloodied body of a neighbour in their flooded house, a chill runs through her veins. The bruising around his throat tells Fiona someone wanted this elderly man dead. And with the torrential rain cutting the farming village off completely, the murderer must still be nearby.
    
     
     
    
     
    But flood waters continue to rise, and landslides force Fiona to take shelter with a crowd of locals at the highest-standing farm. Then, another victim is found, with more suspicious wounds.

    When attorney Lawrence Blakeley boards the night train to Pittsburg carrying a set of highly sensitive forged notes, he anticipates nothing more than a routine legal errand and a rocky sleep. But his world is violently upended when he awakens in the wrong berth, clad in another man's clothing. 
    Before Blakeley can untangle the bizarre theft of his belongings, a far darker crime is exposed. The passenger in Lower Ten has been murdered. Caught in a terrifying web of circumstantial evidence, Blakeley's plight goes from bad to worse when the train is abruptly derailed in a horrific crash. 
    With the forged notes missing, an amateur detective hot on his heels, and his fate inexplicably tied to a beautiful girl with a torn telegram and a blood-stained necklace, Blakeley must race against time to prove his innocence. The Man in Lower Ten is a classic, pulse-pounding mystery filled with mistaken identities, stolen artifacts, and a slow-burn romance that flourishes amidst the ashes of a tragic disaster.
