From His Cold Dead Hands: A Vulgar Pluck Mystery
Guns don’t kill people – people kill people. Guns just make it a lot easier.
When a girl turns up at their office, young private investigator, Vulgar Pluck, and his enigmatic and arthritic boss, Emma Speel, agree to take her case. And find themselves caught up in an unholy mess. Femme Deckard wants them to find the gun that was used to kill her brother.
But Femme isn’t giving them the whole story, and following the leads brings the investigators into conflict with a gun-nut, a mysterious Harley-riding pale-skinned cowboy, a group of manic Satanists, an powerful arms manufacturer and an eerie Jamaican gangster, most of whom are looking for either Femme’s gun or a missing quantum physicist – or both.
By the time Pluck and Speel realize what they’ve got tangled up in, they’re too caught up to get out. They are pieces in a frightening game, played by ruthless and malevolent forces. Suddenly, solving the case is the least of their worries . . .
Merciless Reason
‘There’s no escaping this family. I’d have an easier time shaking off the plague.’
It has been three years since Nate left Ireland, and his family, behind. But the Wildenstern clan is not finished with him. When he discovers his treacherous cousin is still alive, he is drawn back into their world of plotting, betrayal and murder. At home, Daisy and Tatiana are among the few who are trying to stem the damage the Wildensterns are doing. The family has become ever more powerful, and even more hated by the people it treads upon.
New mysteries must be unravelled. The new church is being redesigned with strange mechanical devices built into its walls. An ancient relative is given control of the family. The children of an orphanage have gone missing. And the old guard among the Wildensterns will stop at nothing to keep their darkest crimes hidden in cloak of secrecy.
Some families never change.
