What the Silk Mercer's Daughter Saw
A Theo Bryght, Runner Mystery

Picture
Poor William Halsey. An impoverished younger son, his one chance for riches are dashed when his racehorse, The Miller of Dee, is found dead under mysterious circumstances. Then the chief suspect, a wealthy Chester silk merchant, is poisoned a short while later and suspicion naturally falls upon the young man. But would Mr. Halsey really murder the father of the woman he loves, the beautiful Miss Emily Steele? Or does the key to the two killings lie elsewhere in Chester, that bustling English market town famous for its eerie Medieval Rows and restless ghosts of fallen Cavaliers?

In this new Regency mystery featuring Bow Street Runner Theo Bryght, he encounters not only dark passions and devastating secrets, but also a second chance to win the love of his life, Lady Charlotte Ashe.      

"A brilliant story about murder, deception, and love." - The Regency Inkwell

Ode to a Dead Lord
A Theo Bryght, Runner Mystery

Picture
It is the summer of 1812. Wellington is fighting Napoleon's army in Spain, Lord Byron is dazzling the Beau Monde with the first Canto of his 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage' - and Viscount Percy Ainsford Foster Ashe is discovered dead in a shabby boarding house in Brighton. It is assumed that the young man, whose gambling debts were considerable, has committed suicide. But then a suspicious silver locket is discovered by Lady Charlotte Ashe, the dead lord's now penniless widow, and Theo Bryght, a Bow Street Runner from London, is called in to investigate what is now suspected to be murder.

Who would want to murder Viscount Ashe? Is there more to his gambling addiction than meets the eye? Is there any chance that Lady Ashe will ever recover her lost fortune? These questions haunt Lady Ashe after she returns to her home in the North York Moors - for as she soon finds out, her husband's death may be just the first canto in a deadly ode to revenge.
