All Roads Leadeth
The horizon doesn't always mark the end of the road . . . When Francis Armstrong moves into his fussily designed Victorian house in the heart of the Vale of York, his August stretches before him in a haze of leisurely house refurbishments. His decision to move a pile of rubble, however, brings DCI Hennessey and Sergeant Yellich springing to the scene at the double. The woman's skeleton they study alongside Louise D'Acre, the lovely pathologist, points the finger of blame firmly and soon all the roads of evidence are leading in one direction. But once that destination is reached, the road continues onwards beyond that point, to a doorstep that makes no attempt to conceal its horrific crimes, but brags of them.
Treasure Trove
Hennessey finds that blue blood marks the spot There was a time when Simon Knapp wouldn't have dared go near Edgefield House as a teenager, he'd only had the nerve to snoop around the grounds. But now, returning fifty years on, he marches straight up to the derelict eighteenth-century stately home and pushes open its front door. Curiosity killed the cat and Knapp then faces something that makes his mature nonchalance seem decidedly ill-placed. The grim discovery of four corpses, all members of the same family, all murdered. Suspicion soon falls on the one surviving family member but, as DCI Hennessey and DS Yellich delve further into the case, they unravel the story of a family which has fallen from grace with the peerage, and discover a strange, remote, inward-looking village in the vale of York with its own secrets and intrigue hidden behind its placid facade. A fortune is found in an attic just as help arrives from an unexpected source--and does so in the nick of time...

Severn and the Day She Silenced the World
Severn Suzuki's speech at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio caught the attention of the world. As the daughter of environmentalist David Suzuki, Severn's concern for the environment was fueled by a trip to the Amazon rainforest at age nine. Back home in Vancouver, she and her friends started ECO, the Environmental Children's Organization, combining their efforts to raise enough money to travel to Rio. They couldn't have imagined the effect they would have on the adults gathered there. More than twenty years later, Severn's speech continues to receive thousands of hits on YouTube. Severn's story is about the power that children have to create change when they work together, and how their voices can stand out above the politics and cynicism of adults.

Bitter Poison
The Colonel turns reluctant sleuth once more when tragedy strikes at a Christmas party, in Margaret Mayhew’s latest atmospheric village mystery Frog End, that most quintessential of English villages, is preparing for its annual Christmas pantomime. This year, it’s Hans Christian Andersen’s dark fairytale The Snow Queen. Local busybody Marjorie Cuthbertson is on the hunt for her leading lady – and who better to play the icy queen than beautiful new resident, ex-model Joan Dryden. But as interested as they are in their new neighbours, the residents of Frog End remain wary of the Dryden family, considering them aloof Londoners. Mystery is about to engulf the village however when a cast member collapses and dies at a Christmas party, having consumed a rogue mince pie. Was the death an accident – or was it a malicious revenge strategy masked as an allergic reaction? The Colonel makes it his business to find out.
