DCI Harvey Livermore Series
Triple Tease #1
Do the ends justify the means?
Drop dead gorgeous heroine Katrina Merton takes revenge for the sexual assault on her sister. She then challenges compassionate copper DCI Harvey Livermore to ignore the rule book and offers to help him nail a serial killer by acting as the bait in a honey trap.
Katrina goes on a date with the main suspect, the suave Justin Remington, despite fearing she is putting her life at risk.
There's another murder for which more suspects emerge, but the police investigation is almost wrecked when one of Livermore's team, attractive PC Grace Conteh, has a red hot affair with unscrupulous journalist, Ross Yardley, who reads her notebook and reveals all. The plot twists and turns dramatically to reach a completely unexpected climax.
Stitch Up! #2
Is Denton Kerscher a double murderer or cursed with bad luck?
The handsome 31-year-old security consultant becomes the main suspect each time when his two former girlfriends, Pippa Mercer and then Holly Clancey, are killed.
The Major Crime team, headed by DCI Harvey Livermore, are convinced Kerscher is guilty of both crimes, even though he is acquitted of the first murder in a dramatic court case.
Following the second murder, other suspects emerge, including a lecherous fashion house owner, a besotted estate agent, a 'Walter Mitty' hospital porter and an egotistical stand-up comedian.
The pressure is still on Kerscher, however, as he is accused of sexually assaulting his new neighbour, Barbie Dickinson.
As if Livermore has not got enough on his plate with a demanding wife and fussy senior officer, he is targeted by a former lag, hell bent on revenge. But bright young PC Grace Conteh puts her life at risk to catch the killer.
Fall Guy #3
George Thornhill returns home early for his fashion model wife Isabella's 32nd birthday and finds her lying on the lounge floor, wearing only the kimono he had given her, dying from a stab wound. His attempts to save her cause him to be covered in her blood and leave his fingerprints on the murder weapon. This results in him being convicted of murder.
George's devastated sister Myra persuades DCI Harvey Livermore to reopen the case after discovering that a neighbour saw someone leave the crime scene by the back door.
Livermore, having recently returned to work after undergoing a cancer operation, follows up on Myra's suspicions about Isabella's womanising and fraudulent brother-in-law Brandon Cunnington and a stalker who had plagued the former model. Other suspects also come to light as Livermore's Major Crime Team dig deeper. Among them are male admirers and jealous women, including a former work colleague of Isabella's who sent her abusive messages on Facebook.
