  "I will not do it!" Lance Alexander to his uncle Sergeant Simon Alexander-Drax. 
  "It's alright! You won't be there long!" said his uncle. 
  "Then you go there!" said Lance shortly. 
  Lance's dad the coroner walked into the room. 
  "I can't!" said Lance digging his boots into the floor. 
  "You can't what?" asked Blake Alexander, Lance's dad. 
  "I can't go to prison as the Necromancer," said Lance. 
  "Why can't you," asked his uncle. 
  "Do you think he's the Necromancer?" asked Blake. 
  "Of course not we need a man we can trust on the inside who can pose as the Necromancer to entrap a prison kingpin," said Simon. 
  "You planning to come out as dead are you?" asked Lance not threatening just stating a fact the father of the Necromancer was Mortimer the grim reaper, King. 
  "I am not going to be around for that," said Blake planning a holiday in hell when Lance came out as the Necromancer a serial killer. 
  "Where are you going?" asked Blake's Uncle. 
  "Never you mind," said Blake. 
  "He's a coward," said Lance. 
  "No would you be in my place I can't be deposed as emperor of the solar system if I'm not there," Blake said. 
  "Didn't think of that," said Simon. 
  "I'll do it," said Lance defiantly thinking how much of a problem it would be to his father.

  Amateur dramatics was never meant to be so deadly! 
   
   
   
  The man was not meant to die; the daggers were only theatrical props, plastic and harmless. A summer's night, a production of Julius Caesar among the ruins of an Anglo-Saxon fort. Detective Inspector Tremayne is there with his sergeant, Clare Yarwood. The assassination scene, the man collapses to the ground, Brutus defending his actions, Mark Antony's rebuke. 
   
   
   
  They're a disparate group, the amateur actors. One's an estate agent, another, an accountant. And then there is the teenage man, the gay, the funeral director, the commodities trader. And what about the women? They could be involved. 
   
   
   
  They've all got a secret, but which of those on the stage wanted Gordon Mason, the actor who had portrayed Caesar, dead?

  When your imaginary boyfriend turns up in your hometown, marriage is the only option. 
  I’m not anti-relationship, but my life is good right now, and love is not a priority. Too bad my grandmother disagrees. People say she’s scary, and sure, some of her enemies went missing under mysterious circumstances, but she loves me and wants the best for me… which, right now, is marriage. The matchmaking is a lot, and she’s not letting up. What’s a demon to do except invent a long-distance boyfriend? 
  That backfires hard when the one-night stand I based my fake boyfriend on arrives in our tiny village. Garrett’s here to help our cut-off town assimilate with the rest of the Community of Species. He’s not expecting to find he has a boyfriend he knew nothing about. 
  It doesn’t take me long to convince him to agree to my new plan. I need the matchmaking to stop; he needs our insular little community to accept and trust him. The perfect solution: marriage. A business agreement with a time limit. 
  Just business. 
  Until he demands more. A sexy, nerdy hellhound in my bed isn’t a deal breaker. 
  But as we get closer to our end date, it gets harder for me to imagine life without him. And when my little cousin goes missing, it’s Garrett who saves the day… and reveals secrets the village didn’t know we had.
