  "A MUST READ for anyone wanting a mystery layered with suspicion, sibling rivalry, family dysfunction, murder, and environmental catastrophes... I couldn't put it down!" (Amazon reader) 
  A YOUNG MAN DISAPPEARS in the California gold country. He leaves behind a gold-flecked rock and a vial of toxic mercury. He is a misfit in the modern world, a throwback to Gold Rush days. 
  A hotshot venture capitalist--whose gold country is Silicon Valley--hires forensic geologists Cassie Oldfield and Walter Shaws to track his missing brother. 
  The geologists are hooked by the story of this lost man, this wounded soul. And they have the skills to find him. It's what they do: view a rock under the microscope and unravel a mystery. Solve a crime. Prevent a crisis. Find a missing person. 
  Joined by their edgy client, Cassie and Walter track the mineral clues deep into the wilderness. Their journey soon turns harrowing, plunging into the dark history of the legendary lands, into the dark past of the brothers, into a poisonous sibling feud that threatens both lives and the land. 
  And they are not the only ones on the hunt. 
  ◆ All books in the series are standalone novels and can be enjoyed in any order. ◆

  Marlon St. James wants only one thing: to be left alone. 
  He has a house, a successful private security business, and endless peace and quiet. Things are exactly as they should be. 
  Until Camilla. 
  His brother thrusts soft, sweet, curvy Camilla Fox in front of Marlon and announces that she’ll be moving into Marlon’s house. Otherwise, she’ll be homeless. 
  Fine. Marlon isn’t a monster. He can lend her a room. Temporarily. 
  Yes, she’s the woman of Marlon’s dreams. No, he’s not going to do anything about it. 
  He wants her. He can’t have her. The end. 
  All he has to do is stay away from her and quell the protective instincts that try to rise up and choke him. 
  Camilla doesn’t need protection from Marlon; she’s a baker in demand, not a damsel in distress. 
  That is, until Marlon learns that Camilla's life isn't as sugar-sweet as it seems, and she might need the help of a six-foot-four private security consultant after all…

  A haunted old hotel deep in smuggling country, a friend in need, a local dancer who has disappeared in the depths of winter… Posie Parker heads to Rye in Sussex for this golden-age style mystery novella!  
  December, 1925. 
  A dark, smog-filled London doesn’t seem very Christmassy, or exciting, but then Posie Parker, London’s premier female Private Detective, receives an urgent call from one of her oldest friends; Rufus, Earl of Cardigeon. 
  Summoned to ‘The Mermaid’, a reputedly haunted hotel in Rye, on the Sussex Coast, in the heart of smuggling country, Posie, together with her husband, Richard, finds her old friend in a real state. 
  Rufus has been promised answers here about his missing wife, Dolly, but instead there’s simply a bizarre string of events: a priceless car mysteriously driven off a cliff; a missing Frenchman, and telegrams from men who simply don’t exist. While Richard Lovelace, Chief Commissioner of New Scotland Yard tries to work out if Rufus himself is the target of a complicated plot, Posie has her own rather more personal, pressing investigations to make. 
  The local tragedy of a missing dancer, Rosa Rossoli, fascinates Posie. It has been dealt with by local police as an open-and-shut case. But Posie soon discovers it is anything but. And she suspects foul play. 
  And as the snow falls, and Christmas lights go up, Posie becomes involved in perhaps her most touching case so far. Soon she becomes aware that danger lurks at ‘The Mermaid’, and not just for Rufus Cardigeon. In the twisty old smuggling tunnels of the hotel itself, a murderer is on the loose and they have Posie in their sights. 
  A totally gripping 1920s historical cozy!

  Something is troubling Inspector Henry Cutter. Sergeant Gideon Bliss is accustomed to his ill-tempered outbursts, but lately the inspector has grown silent and withdrawn. Then, the murders begin. The first to die is the elderly Sir Aneurin Considine, a decorated but obscure civil servant who long ago retired to tend his orchids. If the motive for his killing is a mystery, the manner of his death is more bewildering still. The victims that follow suffer similar fates, their deaths gruesome but immaculately orchestrated. The murderer comes and goes like a ghost, leaving only carefully considered traces. As the hunt for this implacable adversary mounts, the inspector's gloom deepens, and to Sergeant Bliss, his methods seem as mystifying as the crimes themselves. 
   
   
   
  Why is he digging through dusty archives while the murderer stalks further victims? And as hints of past wrongdoing emerge—and with them the faint promise of a motive—why does Cutter seem haunted by some long-ago failing of his own? To find the answers, the meek and hapless sergeant must step out of the inspector's shadow. Aided by Octavia Hillingdon, a steely and resourceful journalist, Bliss will uncover truths that test his deepest beliefs. 
   
   
   
  Hypnotic and twisty, The Naming of the Birds will leave you questioning what matters most—solving a case or serving justice.

  A count's only son could learn nothing. Three times the count sent him for a year to famous masters. Each time, the son came back: saying first that he knew what dogs said when they barked; the next time, what birds said; and finally, what frogs said. Infuriated by his uselessness, his father ordered his people to take him to the woods and kill him, but they sympathised with him, and instead brought the count the eyes and tongue of a deer as proof of his death.
