Richard T. Cahill

Sinossi

Has a judge turned executioner? A twisting mystery thriller by the author of Deadly Grief. Nobody was happy when a mistake by the DA’s office allowed Gilbert Russell to walk free—aside from the alleged child killer himself. Even the judge, in his frustration, expressed a wish to see the obviously guilty defendant hanged. But when the accused predator is found swinging from a rope near the courthouse, all eyes turn to the judge. Now Connor Phelan is tasked with defending his powerful mentor, Judge Hardy, but newly discovered DNA evidence is making his case a lot harder. His only hope for a win in the courtroom is finding the real murderer—which won’t be easy when no one in town is mourning the victim and no one is willing to speak the truth . . .Acclaim for Richard T. Cahill Jr.’s Deadly Grief “A fast read. . . . It’s a page-turner and you will be captivated by the memorable characters.” —John Ferak, bestselling author of Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery

The Ocean Liner Series - Books 1...

Edward Marston

The Ocean Liner series by Edward Marston, author of the bestselling Railway Detective books, sets sail on some of the iconic vessels of the early twentieth century and each voyage takes a journey into ... murder.


In book one, Murder on the Lusitania, George Dillman is aboard the Lusitania's 1907 maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York. While posing as a passenger, Dillman is in fact an undercover detective hired to keep an eye out for petty crimes. But after some uneventful days aboard, the ship's blueprints are stolen and then a body is found. As Dillman works to get to the bottom of the crimes, he makes an unusual friend, first-class passenger Genevieve Masefield, and the two uncover secrets aboard the ship that prove explosive.

In book two, Murder on the Mauretania, Dillman and Masefield must endure a nightmare voyage in which severe weather batters the vessel. When a passenger is washed overboard, it is at first assumed it was a case of death by misadventure, but the detective pair come to realise that a very calculated murder has been carried out.

In Murder on the Minnesota, Dillman and Masefield continue their travels as private detectives bound for the Far East. While a smuggling operation on the route is at first their focus, the voyage is blighted by a murder that will require all their investigative powers to solve.

In Book four, Murder on the Caronia, Dillman and Masefield's Atlantic crossing is shared with a man and woman bound for England to face trial for murder. Over the course of the journey, Dillman and Masefield come to believe that the captured couple are not the vicious criminals many believe, but proving that hunch becomes harder when a killer strikes on board.
Murder on the Marmora, the fifth instalment in the series, sees Dillman and Masefield set sail for Egypt, alongside royal passengers requiring security. And when a dead body turns up, the voyage proves to be one to remember.
