Maison d'édition: Next Chapter

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?

MURDER ON A COUNTRY LANE -...

Jon Harris

A lovely little spot for murder! 
 
 
 
Not much happens in Biddle Rhyne, a quiet, picturesque village in the southwest of England. Especially if you don't count the meat raffle on a Thursday night and the odd sheep escaping a field. 
 
 
 
However, that's all set to change when Julia Ford, a normal(ish) twenty-something who works in the local pub, stumbles upon a murder victim. 
 
 
 
Upsetting, but not the end of the world. Particularly as the victim is Audrey White, the cantankerous owner of a nearby garden center. 
 
 
 
But when the police discover Julia had argued with the woman in the past, and her fingerprints are found on a death threat, she is accused of the crime, and her life is turned upside down. 
 
 
 
Released on police bail and encumbered with an unfetching ankle tag, Julia will have to clear her own name. 
 
 
 
Yet the murderer is intent that she takes the fall. Will Julia land on her feet?
