    Murder, Mystery and Munitions. (Prequel to the Kirsty Campbell Mysteries) 
    Devil’s Porridge is set in 1917 during the First World War. It starts with a bang when the Silvertown Munitions Factory in the east end of London explodes. 
    East London, January 1917: 
    “He pulled her into his arms and kissed her long and hard before he strangled her. With a last glance at the fire, he turned and ran for the door to escape the inevitable explosion.” 
    Sixteen-year-old munitionette, Sally, witnesses the saboteur escaping from the explosion at Silvertown Munitions Factory. When their paths cross again, he knows she can identify him, and that he must kill again. 
    The Silvertown explosion sets off a lethal chain of events and the action moves to Gretna Munitions Factory on the border between England and Scotland. Kirsty Campbell, a policewoman in the newly set up women’s police service joins forces with a Belgian refugee working for MI5, and together they set out to protect Sally, a young munitionette who witnessed the aftermath of a murder at Silvertown. They become embroiled with saboteurs, Irish revolutionaries, a German spy, a killer without a conscience, and a plot to assassinate the king. As the body count rises, the stakes are higher than Kirsty could ever have imagined.

    When Wes Grayson spots a mysterious woman photographing his six-year-old daughter, his protective instincts ignite. Amy, his adoptive daughter, is the center of his world and any threat to Amy is a threat to Wes. 
    But what Wes doesn't know is that the woman behind the camera, Laney Fields, is Amy's birth mother. Laney has no desire to threaten anyone, just a longing to see the child she'd brought into the world six years ago and then been forced to release for adoption.

    Temporarily at leisure, Beau has agreed to chaperon his newlywed grandmother on her honeymoon cruise to the Gulf of Alaska. But Beau's brief idyll is abruptly shaken when a security videotape shows a passenger taking a fatal fall overboard. Like it or not, the burden of investigating a heinous crime is once again on his shoulders. Adrift a thousand miles from home, J.P. Beaumont has suddenly found himself submerged in a terrifying conspiracy that, if allowed to proceed unchecked, could have disastrous consequences, not only for Beau and his shipmates, but for the future of the world they all hope to return to.
