  A grand masked ball. An aristocratic estate. And a crime cloaked in elegance and deception. 
   In Tragedy at Ravensthorpe, Chief Constable Sir Clinton Driffield arrives at the Ravensthorpe estate just in time for an opulent 1920s masquerade—but behind the silk masks and champagne toasts, danger simmers. A mysterious figure is stalking the halls, family tensions threaten to erupt, and whispers of local folklore—including the enigmatic “Fairy Houses”—haunt the estate grounds. 
   As the night unfolds and a shocking crime is uncovered, Sir Clinton must navigate a maze of secrets, inheritance disputes, and carefully guarded identities to uncover the truth. 
   This classic British whodunit from the golden age of detective fiction is a masterclass in suspense and deduction—elegant, sinister, and utterly engrossing.

  Discovering a body on her property presents Lady Abigail Worthing with more than one pressing problem. The victim is Juliet, the wife of her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. Although Abigail has little connection with the lady in question, she expects to be under suspicion. Abigail's skin color and her mother's notorious past have earned her a certain reputation among the ton, and no amount of wealth or status will eclipse it. 
   
   
    
  Abigail can't divulge that she was attending a secret pro-abolition meeting at the time of the murder. To her surprise, Henderson offers her an alibi. Though he and Juliet were long estranged, and she had a string of lovers, he feels a certain loyalty to his late wife. Perhaps together, he and Abigail can learn the truth. 
   
   
    
  Abigail, whose marriage to Lord Worthing was not a love match, knows well how appearances can deceive. For all its surface elegance, London's high society can be treacherous. Yet who in their circle would have killed Juliet, and why? Taking the reins of her life in a way she never has before, Abby intends to find out—but in the process she will uncover more danger than she ever imagined . . .

  Nobody robs banks in Belfast without the IRA getting a cut—not even former Provo James "Ructions" O'Hare. But when word gets around O'Hare may be up to something, the pressure from the IRA begins. 
   
   
   
  Ructions trusts his crack squad of former paramilitary compadres, and has full confidence in his audacious plan: To literally empty the biggest bank in Belfast by kidnapping the families of two employees—known as a "tiger" kidnapping—in order to force them to help Ructions and his crew get into the bank's vault. 
   
   
   
  But keeping the plan—and the money—from the IRA is another plan entirely, one requiring all Ructions's cunning and skill. 
   
   
   
  In this stunning debut novel, as audacious and well-executed as Ructions's plan to rob the National Bank itself, Richard O'Rawe—a former IRA bank robber himself—unleashes a story that will shock, surprise, and thrill as he takes you on a white-knuckle ride through Belfast's criminal underbelly. Enter the deadly world of tiger kidnappings, kangaroo courts, money laundering, drug deals, and double-crosses.
