Summary

Three crime thrillers in one volume: In England’s Thames Valley, a police detective takes on murder, corruption, and department politics . . . These novels featuring DCI Fleming of the Major Crime Unit include:The Fifth Suspect A body is found on a boat on the River Thames—and newly promoted DCI Alex Fleming, a man with a troubled past, is keen to prove his worth with his first murder case. But a belligerent fellow DCI gives Fleming a hostile reception, and as internal politics come into play, Fleming finds himself up against both a difficult case and his own colleagues.The Last Man The assistant chief constable wants DCI Fleming to review the cold case of an activist shot dead five years ago after a strike at the Atomic Weapons Establishment. Fleming soon finds out that MI5 have an interest in the case, and learns that another activist was the main suspect. But as the body count rises and he uncovers an extramarital affair, he suspects the answers may lie in a very different place . . .A Fatal Move The normally tranquil village of Darmont is in an uproar over a plan for new housing and a shopping center—but the angry demonstrations are not the only thing disturbing the peace. The assistant to the millionaire property developer behind the controversy has been murdered—and the son of an investor has been kidnapped. Has a protester taken things too far—or is something more complex going on among the rich and powerful?

    When Rachel Murdock and her sister Jennifer receive a call for help from their favorite niece, Lilly, in Breakers Beach, California, they quickly hop a train from Los Angeles to see her—but not before collecting their prized cat Samantha in a picnic basket and bringing her along for the ride. Samatha, it turns out, is an heiress, the inheritor of a fortune left by a wealthy relative, and so the attempt at the cat's life, made right after they arrive, comes as a shock. The cat survives, but unfortunately, Lilly, murdered soon thereafter, is not so lucky. 
     
     
     
    By the time the police arrive, the clues are already falling into place. The source of Lilly's trouble is revealed to be a gambling debt incurred during an attempt to cheat at bridge, and the suspects in her slaying quickly pile up. But then another corpse is discovered, buried in the nearby sand, and it becomes clear that the killing spree concerns more than just the young lady's personal money trouble. With the authorities distracted by lurid details, it's up to Rachel and her furry friend to uncover the subtleties containing the solution to the puzzle. 
     
     
     
    A prototypical early "cat mystery," written before the subgenre became a staple of cozy mystery fiction, The Cat Saw Murder is an entertaining and endlessly surprising whodunit.
