Mystery

After serving time for a crime he did not commit, Edward Walton is ready for revenge. Three years in prison have fanned Walton's hatred of the business partner who betrayed him, first by framing him for embezzlement and then by stealing his lovely, wayward wife. But that is before he meets the smoothtalking military gentleman known only as "the major." The major has a scheme that sounds little short of lunatic, one that certainly will not work without Walton's skills as a professional architect. With his record, Walton is unsuccessful in his attempts to find more mainstream employment and is therefore willing to go along with the plan - but only on his terms. Distrusting the major and his comrades, Walton devises his own network of safety measures, and even then he must watch his back. If all goes well, the job will be worth millions - or ten years' hard labor - and Walton might even get his revenge as a bonus.

Goldmine: London W.I.

Jeremy Newton is one of the brighter young men coming along in the City. In time, he will be a respected and prominent figure in London's financial world. But Jeremy is impatient. He has access to insider information on the stock market and knows how to exploit it to make himself a wealthy man while still young. All he needs is a partner to carry out the criminal side of the scheme while he establishes impeccable alibis. Enter Charlie Hurst. A cool, resourceful thief with far more intelligence than the average hood, Hurst seems like the ideal choice, and he's quick to see the beauty of Jeremy's proposition. They devise a foolproof plan. But if it involves trust between a white-collar city slicker and a street-smart tough guy, how foolproof can it actually be?

Foolproof

A brief indiscretion led Amanda Hunter into the clutches of Space Age Escorts, an organisation with an exclusive clientele. In desperation, she hired private investigator Jack Bradford, but he quickly found himself out of his depth. This was no simple case of blackmail. Important people were involved. Fortunately, Bradford knew how to contact the little-known Internal Bureau. After that, things moved very fast indeed.

D.O.N. Bradman had not become the great cricketer his father had hoped, but at least the government appreciated his talents. Finding out about Sir Francis Waterman seemed hopeless at first; there had been so many women in his life.  Lady Waterman was keeping herself aloof.  Angela Dunning had decamped to Italy. Maude Ryan had yet to be traced, and the housekeeper Mrs Cooper seemed to know little.  Only Melanie seemed a likely source but she didn't take to Bradman.  Not at first, anyway.
