Summary

‘The Society of Intelligent Murderers’ is set in 1970s England and France. Detective Chief Inspector Harry Rainham is tasked with reviews of a number of suspicious deaths where relatives had appeared dissatisfied with the initial police investigation. Close to retirement and with an unwell wife at home, he forms a team with two young women detectives.  They quickly unearth three bizarre apparently unrelated cases, and as each investigation progresses, it becomes apparent that the murderers are linked by seemingly mysterious blackmail attempts. There also appears to be a link to the poem ‘The Waste Land’, and possibly to the story of ‘Rebecca’. The novel progresses through moments of danger for all involved until it climaxes with a series of alarming events.

    Betrayal! 
The mole has shown their true colors. An act of sabotage has produced dire consequences for Marshal Onima Gwok, Deputy Marshal Kara Martinez, and infantry clone Jace Rojas. 
But the investigation into the vast conspiracy to use clones to topple the Confederation is far from complete. Adding a new and skilled replacement for the traitor, the team continues to bring together the disparate pieces of the puzzle. But Onima paid for her trust before – can she, and the team, trust again? 
There are other dangers lurking in the shadows. Insidious forces will stop at nothing to bring their plan to fruition – and conspirators remain inside the CBI, the monopolistic business entity that is Gray and Chuang, and possibly the Confederation itself. 
Traveling across space from colony to colony, the team is leaving no clue uninvestigated. The conspiracy is unraveling – but the clock is ticking. Can they pull all the loose threads before it’s too late?
