Fatal Solution
In this new mystery, Inspector Chard is confronted with another murder in bustling Victorian Pontypridd. On the face of it the case appears unremarkable, even if it isn't obviously solvable, but following new leads takes Chard into unexpected places. A second murder, a sexual predator, industrial espionage and a mining disaster crowd into the investigation, baffling the Inspector and his colleagues and putting his own life at risk as the murderer attempts to avoid capture. Once again Leslie Scase takes the reader back to a time and place where, despite the pretensions of Victorian society, life is cheap and passions strong. His research brings Pontypridd vividly to life, and historical events drive along the plot of this page-turning story of detection, as Chard navigates a way through the clues and red herrings, and a lengthening list of suspects, towards the poisoner. Atmospheric, authentic, Chard and the reader are left guessing until the final page.

Fortuna's Deadly Shadow
1893: A train to the bustling industrial town of Pontypridd crashes, and in the chaos of the disaster a killer covers up a violent murder. Two years later Thomas Chard's arrival to take up his post as inspector in the burgeoning police force coincides with the grisly discovery of a body in the River Taff. Chard grapples with the demands of his new job – rudimentary Victorian police procedures, an authoritarian superintendent, and finding a murderer. His investigations lead him beyond respectable society, through the dark back streets of Pontypridd to a seamy world of money lenders, pick pockets, prostitutes and gamblers. As the number of suspects grows, each with their own secret to protect, Chard must disentangle the web of lies being spun around him in order to catch a killer.
Flames of Anarchy
After a plot to assassinate the Czar of Russia is foiled by government agents, Inspector Thomas Chard is ordered to apprehend an assassin, thought to be under the protection of a gang of anarchists somewhere in south Wales. Recently stationed back in Pontypridd, Chard's focus is on restoring his reputation after being falsely accused of murder. But events soon overtake this aim, and his efforts to find the assailant are frustrated by a series of apparently random murders. As the anarchists plot to promote unrest, the body count begins to grow. Soon a local politician is amongst the dead. Tensions rise as the radicals fight amongst themselves. Still the killer's true objective remains a mystery... one that Chard must solve, and quickly. "Part-Ripper Street, part-Alexander Cordell... Leslie Scase fuses the smoke and sweat of the foundry with Pontypridd's shadowy, gas-lit streets." – Liz Jones "I think I may have a new favourite author and his name is Leslie Scase." – Grumpy Old Books blog
