Gumshoe Blues: After a divorce, Peter Ord decides to turn his life around and becomes a private detective. But with his constant drinking and questionable decision-making skills, his new career quickly takes a turn for the worse. Trying to solve challenging cases and keep up with his boozy sidekick Bryn Laden, Peter soon finds himself on the wrong side of a local crime lord's radar.

Hanging out with a group of lowlifes and getting involved in criminal activities, Peter navigates the seedy underbelly of his hometown. Along the way, he encounters a cast of offbeat characters, each with their own quirks and secrets.

    After a long career as a detective in San Diego, Rick “Chase” Chasen has traded in his badge for a change of scenery in the coastal comforts of Devon, England, until a local murder takes him on a deadly detour … 
     
    Still grieving the death of his long-time partner, Chase reunites with his dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau for a seacoast holiday of historic sightseeing. Assigned a pair of guides from the tour company Wanderers, Chase and Billie join seven other like-minded Americans looking forward to an English getaway. All except for Ronald Gretz. The wealthy entrepreneur behind the international Golden Sunset nursing-home chain doesn’t like anything about walking, touring, or England. Coarse and opinionated, Gretz’s complaints get on the nerves of his fellow Wanderers—and his long-suffering trophy wife. 
     
    But Gretz’s gripes are tied to his own nerves being frayed. He has been receiving threatening texts and emails signed “An Avenger.” Convinced someone means him harm, Gretz asks Chase to watch his back. Soon, Gretz falls afoul of several “accidents,” leading to more friction with the other walkers. Until one final “accident” results in Gretz dead at the bottom of a cliff. 
     
    Chase, whose investigative instincts remain sharp, knows Gretz’s death was no accident. While helping the police investigate, he discovers that members of the tour group not only disliked the victim but had legitimate motives for wanting him dead. Now, he just has to uncover who among them is willing to kill … 
     
    “You’ll want to walk just about anywhere with retired police detective Rick ‘Chase’ Chasen, a modern day Hercule Poirot.”—Lee Hollis, Author of Poppy Harmon and the Shooting Star

    "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the second of the twelve Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and the second of the eight stories from His Last Bow in most American versions. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1893.
    Miss Susan Cushing of Croydon receives a parcel in the post that contains two severed human ears packed in coarse salt. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard suspects a prank by three medical students whom Miss Cushing was forced to evict because of their unruly behaviour. The parcel was sent from Belfast, the city of origin of one of the former boarders. Upon examining the parcel himself, Holmes is convinced that it is evidence of a serious crime. He reasons that a medical student with access to a dissection laboratory would likely use something other than plain salt to preserve human remains, and would be able to make a more precise cut than the roughly hacked ears suggest. The address on the package, roughly written and with a spelling correction, suggests to Holmes that the sender lacks education and is unfamiliar with Croydon. The knot in the string suggests to Holmes that they are looking for someone with sailing experience.

    Victoria was a young, naïve, single school teacher. Her only desire was to be respected at her job. The boys in her class teased and jostled for her approval. At first it appeared little more than classroom banter. All teachers were warned that it was every young boy’s dream to entice a young, pretty teacher into a sexual tryst. Very soon male students became rivals.   
    In her innocence, Victoria had no idea how a touch or a glance could easily be misinterpreted, labeling a teacher as a sexual predator. Victoria thought she could control any situation until she found herself caught in the web of forbidden love.  
    Unconditional love is when two souls have a single thought, 
    when two hearts beat as one. 
    They dance to the same tune 
    and sing the same song. 
    But what does one do when love is found 
    in the wrong place?
