MERCURY FALLING

The Fenlands, 1954. It is a tough winter and the floods are the worst anyone can remember. Most people have lost everything but for Jimmy Devlin, forced from his home by an uncompromising bailiff, the prospect of work digging drains could be the opportunity he’s been waiting for. But before long, he’s caught up in the wrong business with the people from the fairground passing through town, and on the run from the law, he has nowhere else to turn.

SWAN SONG

Leo Rivers, a private investigator, is looking into a series of prostitute-linked killings. He realises that the chief suspect cannot have been involved, but he is up against a career-minded Chief of Police determined to make a name for himself, whatever the cost.
