MEET DETECTIVE INSPECTOR MICHAEL ANGEL. AN OLD-SCHOOL POLICEMAN WHO SOMETIMES RUBS HIS COLLEAGUES UP THE WRONG WAY. HE’S GOT HIS FLAWS, BUT HE NEVER GIVES UP ON A CASE.

THE ONLY THING THAT CONNECTS THE SUSPECTS IS SNUFFBOXES

Inspector Angel and his team are looking for an antiques thief and murderer who tears out the tongue of anyone he fears might give him away.

The inspector believes that the murderer is following in the footsteps of Herman Lamm, an infamous villain of a century earlier.

The suspects are a disparate trio. The first is a conman who is always hovering near an antique gold statue; the second, Mr Van Hassain, is a diplomat and businessman; and the third is a rich inventor's beautiful wife.

The only link is that they are all interested in acquiring antique gold snuffboxes. It's not much to go on, but Inspector Angel is determined to catch the killer.

THE DETECTIVE
Michael Angel is over fifty, married to Mary. They don’t have any children. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or due to the problems of Mary’s sister who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the small local police station and is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort and has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn’t want promotion with all the routine office work and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, who is lazy, a hypochondriac and not a bit interested in assisting Angel in serious police work.

New crime fiction release on Kindle. GUILTY PARTY by Candy Denman


The suspicious death of a lawyer in Hastings makes Dr Callie Hughes probe deeper in GUILTY PARTY the new murder mystery by Candy Denman. 

99p/99c for launch now worldwide. FREE with Kindle Unlimited.


Curiosity about a strangled lawyer leads police doctor Callie Hughes along a bumpy road to the truth
When a lawyer is found dead in his home, the circumstances are indeed strange, if not wholly suspicious. An act of auto-eroticisation has gone terribly wrong, leading to an unintended climax to his life.

It is only after another lawyer is found dead in his former boss’s pool that Dr Callie Hughes begins to suspect there is more to the deaths. But she can’t act on her instincts until the pathology reports are filed.

What she can do is explore the men’s respective backgrounds. Both having worked in the justice system, there are more than a few disgruntled individuals who could have wanted them dead. The challenge will be finding one connected to both men.

Juggling her work as a forensic pathologist and part-time GP, Callie risks overstepping the mark when it comes to investigating the case. But her instincts have been proven right in the past. And when another lawyer is publicly humiliated, she begins to develop a theory.

Whilst the police may have seen her meddling as a hindrance in the past, when the strange antics in the coastal town of Hastings continue, in more ways than one they’ll be grateful that through her sleuthing, she has closed in on the killer.

GUILTY PARTY is the third Dr Callie Hughes murder mystery. It can be enjoyed as a standalone or alongside the other books: DEAD PRETTY and BODY HEAT.

Combining forensic work with private investigation and some police procedure, Candy Denman’s books will delight fans of Kendra Elliot and Patricia Cornwell and are a must for serious crime fiction readers.

All of Candy’s books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback from Amazon.

NEW RELEASE: MURDER BY THE CANAL BY JUDITH CUTLER


If you’re looking for a crime thriller with a compelling detective who will stop at nothing to bring the most vicious criminals to justice, you’ll love MURDER BY THE CANAL by Judith Cutler.

It’s safe to say that Detective Kate Powers does not have it easy. Taking a much-needed holiday, Kate meets a charming businessman and agrees to go on a date upon her return to Birmingham. When she next sees him, he’s dead and his body is found with Kate Power’s card in his pocket. What lies behind the tragedy is much darker and more dangerous than she could ever have suspected.

CRIME THRILLER WITH A COMPELLING DETECTIVE WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO BRING THE MOST VICIOUS CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE.

Please note this book was first published as “STAYING POWER”

A BUSINESSMAN IS FOUND HANGING FROM A BRIDGE. AND HE HAS KATE POWER’S CARD IN HIS POCKET.

A DATE FOR KATE?
Struggling with flu, Detective Kate Power flies back from well-earned holiday in bitterly cold Florence to equally cold Birmingham in the company of Alan Grafton, a pleasant businessman with whom she agrees to have a drink once she’s better.

BUT LIFE IS NEVER THAT EASY FOR HER.
When she next sees him, he’s dead, hanging from a canal bridge. His only ID is the business card Kate gave him

He seemed to have everything to live for. But he left a last message for her at police headquarters that never reached her . . .

But what lies behind the tragedy is far darker and more dangerous than she could ever have suspected.

KATE WON’T STOP TILL SHE’S UNCOVERED THE TRUTH.

Set in the late 90s in England’s second city, this is the second in a series of compulsively readable crime thrillers.

KATE POWER
Personal tragedy cut short Kate Power's promising career in the Met. A sergeant at thirty, she's returned to bustling, bright Birmingham with the promise of a fresh start with the CID there, new friends and a house her great aunt has given her. Sadly it's the home from hell, with a garden to match. The new job brings its own problems: clearly the Birmingham force still has some officers who believe women's sole purpose is to mop up harassment.

A MYSTERY WHICH WILL CAPTIVATE YOU FROM START TILL THE DRAMATIC ENDING

JACKMAN AND EVANS’ MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY IS BACK TO FINISH THINGS OFF

The domestic bliss of Detective Inspector Rowan Jackman of Fenland Constabulary doesn’t last long. His nemesis, serial killer Alistair Ashcroft, is back in town and ready to tidy up unfinished business.

Ashcroft sends a sinister text to DS Marie Evans. His opening move in what will prove to be a lethal game of cat-and-mouse. Yet for all his taunts, where is he? In a county crawling with police on the lookout for him, Ashcroft is nowhere to be found.

EVERYONE JACKMAN CARES ABOUT IS IN DANGER

Alongside the hunt for Ashcroft, normal police work must continue. The separate thefts of guns, six pigs, a thoroughbred stallion and some oil lead Jackman’s crew to the notorious Lorimer family, ruled over on their farm by the fearsome matriarch Rachel.

Meanwhile, a seemingly routine break-in at the home of gun-club owner Kenneth Harcourt quickly becomes more complicated when the man long held responsible for having killed Harcourt’s young daughter in a hit-and-run is shot dead in a carpark — by a sniper.

A killer is on the loose in the quiet streets of Saltern-le-Fen and he isn’t going to stop at claiming one life. But why is he focusing on young Kevin, so close to promotion to detective?

A LETHAL GAME WITH A VERY PATIENT MAN

And the sniper, like Ashcroft, takes to taunting the police: they’ll never catch him, they need to respect him, they shouldn’t be side-tracked looking for their old adversary.

In a stunning conclusion, Jackman and Evans race against time to catch the sniper and track down their deadly adversary.

Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you turning the pages until the shocking ending. Set in the atmospheric Lincolnshire Fens whose towns and isolated villages hide many dark secrets.

CAN THEY FINALLY STOP ALISTAIR ASHCROFT?

Looking for a gripping murder mystery with a feisty female sleuth? Meet Alex Duggins in this new series from a bestselling author.

A WOMAN’S BODY IS FOUND IN THE WOODS

No one knows who she is or why she was left in such a dreadful state.

Alex Duggins, owner of Folly-on-Weir's best pub, The Black Dog, is determined not to get involved — for once.

But the person who found the gruesomely mutilated body was young Kyle Gammage, who helps out at Alex’s friend Tony's veterinary clinic. And she and Tony are reluctantly drawn into the murder investigation.

To protect Kyle and his elder brother, Alex withholds vital information from the police. It's a misjudgement that will have far-reaching — and possibly fatal — consequences.

Then one of them goes missing and what lies beneath is very dark indeed.

WILL ALEX'S SILENCE PUT HER AND THOSE SHE LOVES IN DANGER?

Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie, J R Ellis, and Clare Chase.

Stella Cameron is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author with over fourteen million copies of her books in print.

MEET ALEX AND TONY
People think Alex is the perfect girl-next-door, but she’s made of sterner stuff than most girls-next-door. Divorced pub owner and graphic artist, she meets challenges head on, especially when she decides to stand up for justice and the underdog. Alex is no stranger to trouble, never has been since she was a scrappy young girl with no dad, and a mum working around the clock to keep them together.

Alex’s friend Tony Harrison is a vet—to the disappointment of his GP dad. A quiet man with a sharp wit and strong belief in the goodness of others, he has taken hard knocks, not the least of these, the loss of a young wife who disappeared, never to be found.

THE VILLAGE
A view of Folly from The Hill—as locals call it—is cause for a smile in any season. Let’s try December, early on a cold morning. Snow covers frozen twigs that crackle beneath your feet. The snowfall is only a fine swirl now. On a high point to the west stands ruined Tinley Tower, the folly the village was named for. Below, across the green with its frozen duck pond, honey-yellow cottages huddle. Thin smoke straggles from chimneys and lights shine through small leaded windows. Villagers wake early here. The Black Dog, Alex Duggins’ pub, sits at the heart of it all, strands of colored lights shining along its eves. George’s bakery van is already on its rounds, as is the Lovell’s Dairy lorry. It’s too early for the scarlet-blazered children to be climbing on the school bus, but dog walkers are already marching through the narrow streets and across the green. Idyllic. Deceptively so?

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT LIES THAT BIND

“I stayed up most of the night turning pages!” D. Liao

“Cozy fans who are fond of dogs and cats, and who believe that a nice cup of tea can solve almost any emotional trauma, will be rewarded.” Publishers Weekly
