Synopsis

‘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.

    When private eyes Sam Blackman and Nakayla Robertson are asked by an eighty-year-old client to investigate the death of her brother, they warn her there is little chance of success. Paul Weaver died nearly seventy years earlier. The only documentation she has is the sole surviving copy of a coroner's report stating his death was caused by an accidental fall while hiking. 
     
    There's a red flag: Weaver knew every inch of the mountain trails. The returning World War II veteran had enrolled at Black Mountain College, a liberal local school with an international reputation for innovation. The college of the 1940s is currently being portrayed in a film being shot on the site of its former location. The plot is based on a book by a local author. The research behind both may provide a lead in the Weaver case. One is drawn from movie crew member Harlan Beale, an octogenarian mountaineer who knew Weaver. Beale is discovered dead in the Black Mountain College Museum. His murder turns the cold case white hot. When a second killing follows, the question becomes how to separate dark doings in the present from dark days and hidden scars of the post-war past. 
     
    Nakayla and Sam love their investigations and each other. An interracial couple in the South, they've surrounded themselves with a terrific support team.

    Ageing Rock God, Jim Sullivan, is heading for the quiet life on his newly acquired, tiny island, off the coast of Cornwall. That is until he sends a letter to the King of England, announcing his intent to declare independence from the UK and appointing himself king. 
     
    Determined not to cede one inch of British territory, the UK government despatches low-level Foreign Office researcher, John Cabot, to put a stop to Sullivan’s ambitions. 
     
    What they didn’t anticipate was Cabot’s tenacity for unearthing information they’d rather he didn’t, or Sullivan’s relentless, but completely unfounded, optimism in his own ideas. 
     
    Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a spreadsheet, can these two stand up to the might of the British Empire? 
     
    No contest.

    When a highly placed businessman and two clones are murdered, Marshal Onima Gwok of the Confederation Bureau of Investigation (CBI) gets assigned the case. But nothing quite adds up. Is there something more insidious going on? 
    There is just one witness – a clone. 
    When the war ended ten years ago, the clones who had fought it were discarded, forgotten, and became second-class citizens of the new confederation. 
    Jace Rojas, designated AC J7-2247, is an infantry clone. When he proves to be more helpful than just being a witness to a murder, Onima decides to bring Jace along to join her team as they look for answers across multiple solar systems. 
    But every question seems to produce no answers - only more questions. 
    Will this be the start of a new war - or something worse?
