Summary

5. EXECUTE THE SENTENCE - WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES

A bloody escape from a prisoner transport vehicle plunges the city into chaos. Four merciless fugitives, led by the hardened Kenshoff, are at large, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. With the police hot on their trail, they are desperate for an escape and will do anything, and hurt anyone, to secure it.

Far from the scene of violence, the renowned private detective, Obed de Swardt, the legendary wanderer detective, is enjoying a tranquil evening with his closest friends. The gathering is, however, suddenly and brutally shattered when Kenshoff and his cronies descend upon the home, searching for car keys. In a moment of courage, Obed’s friends turn the tables, gaining the upper hand on the dangerous criminals. But then, in a shocking turn of events that leaves his friends stunned, Obed does the unthinkable. He betrays them, siding with the convicted saboteurs. Why would a man of his stature turn his back on everything to help cold-blooded murderers?

Obed is drawn deeper into an underworld of deceit and vengeance. He discovers the escapees are not merely fleeing, but are also hunting a mysterious syndicate that betrayed them. Alliances shift as swiftly as flying bullets when a beautiful yet lethal female mastermind appears on the scene. She is a player with her own deadly agenda, one who completely changes the rules of the game. Caught between the police hunting him as an accomplice, the unstable criminals who could kill him at any moment, and a powerful organisation that tolerates no witnesses, Obed must rely on his razor-sharp instincts to survive. In this deadly situation, where the line between friend and foe blurs, one thing is certain. Before the sun rises, blood will flow. The only question is, whose sentence will ultimately be carried out?

The Body in Seven Dials

H L Marsay

Inspired by the remarkable life of Dorothy Peto, the Metropolitan Police’s first female superintendent. 
 
In 1914, the idea of a female police officer is dismissed as absurd, but to a small group of determined women, not impossible. 
 
With men departing to fight for king and country, women have new opportunities at home. Dorothy Peto and her fellow suffragettes propose forming the Women’s Police Volunteers to assist police keep order. At first, the suggestion is derided, yet the force is stretched thin. As Dorothy and her friends train and organize to help refugees fleeing the war and guide terrorized Londoners to shelter during the Zeppelin raids, the "ladies in blue" gain a grudging acceptance. 
 
During one nightly bombing raid, Dorothy discovers the body of a beautiful, Belgian refugee in Seven Dials. Convinced the woman was murdered before the bombs fell, Dorothy’s determined to investigate even though the battle-scarred Scotland Yard Inspector remains skeptical of her ideas and enthusiasm. As the list of suspects grows—a British aristocrat, a Belgian gangster and a wealthy German industrialist—Dorothy must outwit the killer, and even some within the WPV.
