Synopsis

6. BONDS OF DEATH - FABEL RETIEF SERIES
 
In the dust-dry, peaceful village of Swartrand, where the biggest news is a new tennis chairman, the community is shaken to its very foundations. The beloved Alwyn Colenbrander, a man without enemies, has been murdered in cold blood in his study, an ancient dagger driven deep into his heart. With no leads, no motive, and a murder weapon wiped clean, the local police stand powerless before this seemingly impossible enigma.
 
Then a stranger arrives, a man with a reputation that precedes him. The legendary detective, Fabel Retief. Under the guise of an ordinary visitor, Fabel penetrates the town’s facade of tranquility, and his sharp eye soon falls upon the new barman. A man with a dark past and a shocking connection to Colenbrander’s beautiful widow, Renske. Fabel soon realises that the murderer is not just a stranger but a hardened ex-commando member, fuelled by years of pent-up hatred and vengeance.
 
What follows is a psychological game that explodes into a violent confrontation and a desperate flight, deep into the unforgiving wilderness of the Fish River Canyon. Here, in the heart of the abyss, the two arch-enemies are bound together in the most unimaginable way, by the iron grip of handcuffs. Shackled to the murderer, a struggle for survival begins for Fabel, where only one can win. Will his brilliant mind be enough to survive the bestial strength of an unscrupulous soldier, or will the “Shackles of Death” drag them both to a certain doom?

    Then, the ballerina's husband is discovered dead—face down in the couple's beloved field of flowers. Now, Josie has the inside track on solving the murder, with her quirky Mahjong Mavens as useful sidekicks. 
     
     
     
    And if a killer in their midst wasn't enough distraction, Josie's matchmaking friends are pushing her to date again—particularly, to pursue an attraction toward a certain local blacksmith, with whom sparks fly.

    Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club? 
    What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused… 
    To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland. Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear. 
    Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice. 
    While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all. 
    Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery.

    Suffolk UK, 2012. Knotweed is invasive and ugly - and so is murder in Suffolk. A body is found near the railway line in Needham Market, and Nick Cowley's phone goes missing. Could anyone have guessed the repercussions? 
    Another body is discovered, and police investigations follow tenuous trails from Bury St Edmunds to Woodbridge, Felixstowe, and beyond. Murky innuendo takes its toll but is it sufficient motive for murder? Into this mix throw a turkey farm, winery, and a French flea market pot and you have the ingredients for a perfect murder. 
    Nick, Chrissie and Matt, friends since their Utterly Academy days, pull together as they face unpleasant truths and resolve their conflicting gut instincts. But hard evidence is required. 
    This is book 5 in the Utterly Crime Series, and can be read as a standalone.
