A mountaintop mansion. A motley collection of guests. A murder. This weekend has all the makings of a classic, cozy mystery story. And a story is all it's supposed to be--acted out by noted authors and eager fans at the atmospheric Mohonk Mountain House resort in upstate New York. Along with a gaggle of his peers, Mallory's been invited to join the fun by donning a costume and an alter-ego to pose as a "suspect." But before you can say "nobody leaves this room!", Mallory is once again thrust into the role of driven detective when the game's designated "corpse" turns up decidedly dead. There's no doubt that the victim, notorious mystery-novel critic Kirk Rath, incited the murderous wrath of nearly every writer he reviewed. But even the most scathing critical barbs never drove a writer to put down the pen in favor of the sword. And even Mallory is baffled by the curious circumstances surrounding the mystery within a mystery. Did he actually witness Rath being run through by a masked figure in the snowy darkness? Was Rath really spotted alive and sneering after the bloody fact? Is someone playing mind games? And is everyone in the house fair game? Murder will out, as they say. But can even the masterful Mallory outwit a roguish gallery of the finest plotters in print?

When beautiful young socialite Scarlett Liddell apparently commits suicide during a 'Murder Mystery Weekend', expensively staged at a Lakeland castle, the coroner calls in DI Skelgill and his team to tie up the legal loose ends. Post mortem results, however, cast doubt upon the provisional verdict - and circumstantial evidence begins to point to one obvious suspect - Will Liddell, the woman's multi-millionaire entrepreneur husband. When Will Liddell is separately accused of an unrelated offence, it seems the noose is tightening around his neck - but the more Skelgill delves beneath the surface of the exclusive circle in which the wealthy couple have moved, the more he realises there may be complex motives afoot. In this psychological drama - set amidst an echelon of society beyond his regular comfort zone - Skelgill cannot so easily rely upon his roughhewn intuition to guide him. To expose the truth, he must unpick a tangle that might almost be the plot for a murder mystery weekend itself.

Detective Jane Tennison must lift the lid on the most chilling murder case of her career to date - in the brand new thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante. A coffin is dug up by builders in the grounds of an historic convent - inside is the body of a young nun. In a city as old as London, the discovery is hardly surprising. But w hen scratch marks are found on the inside of the coffin lid, Detective Jane Tennison believes she has unearthed a mystery far darker than any she's investigated before. However, not everyone agrees. Tennison's superiors dismiss it as an historic cold case, and the Church seems desperate to conceal the facts from the investigation. It's clear that someone is hiding the truth, and perhaps even the killer. Tennison must pray she can find both - before they are buried forever . . . In Unholy Murder, Tennison must lift the lid on the most chilling murder case of her career to date . . .
