The Crime Code
London after dark in the late 1920s-gambling clubs, fog-bound streets, and one chance encounter that will undo a young Member of Parliament-in-waiting. When a chivalrous intervention on behalf of a stranger ends with her companion lying dead at his feet, a promising life collapses in a single minute. Convinced no jury will believe his account, the young man flees, swapping his evening dress for a lorry-driver's cap and vanishing into a dingy lodging-house in working-class Camberwell. There he tries to pass as a journalist, all the while watching the papers and ducking the policemen on the beat. But the boarding-house holds a secret of its own. Behind a neighbor's shuttered door, a band of hardened jewel-thieves with international reach is dividing its spoils-and the new lodger has just become a witness they cannot afford. To clear his name, he must navigate two underworlds at once, never certain which woman is friend and which is fatal.

The Sting
A baronet with a deadly heart condition and a terrible secret is being bled dry by a cunning blackmailer. When he dies suddenly at his ancestral priory, his eldest son inherits-only to be found murdered in a haunted tower room the very next night. Suspicion falls on the victim's stepbrother, arrested and charged with the killing. But a formidable elderly solicitor refuses to accept the obvious answer. As he delves into hidden passages beneath the ancient priory, he uncovers layers of deception: a scheming doctor with a sinister hold over the grieving widow, a secret marriage, and a web of manipulation stretching from the shores of Lake Geneva to the windswept marshes of Norfolk. With the trial looming and the real killer still at large, the old lawyer must outwit a dangerous adversary-even if it means resorting to kidnapping, disguise, and a midnight chase across treacherous fenland-to bring the truth to light before an innocent man hangs.
