THE BOOKS
The first Archie Cavendish mystery:
A Consequence of Sin
An Archie Cavendish Mystery
Reeling from the death of his wife, Archie Cavendish quit the London Metropolitan Police and moved with his young daughter to the Caribbean island of St. Lazarus. The move brought distance from bitter memories and closeness to his daughter’s grandparents. Working as a private investigator is a humbler existence than he knew at Scotland Yard, but it means he can offer his daughter a safe and stable family life.
Cavendish might be finished with investigating murders, but Murder is not yet finished with him.
A young woman named Amber is playing with fire by ensnaring and blackmailing cheating husbands. When one of her victims tries to hire private investigator Archie Cavendish, he recognizes that she is putting herself in real danger. He seeks her out and warns her that she is taking graver risks than she realizes. His warning proves prophetic, and soon he finds himself on the heels of a killer once more. What Cavendish never expected was that his investigation would put his own daughter in peril…
The Man Who Had it Coming
An Archie Cavendish Mystery
Private investigator Archie Cavendish is charged with finding a young woman to inform her of a modest inheritance. This seems like a welcome break from photographing cheating spouses. Instead, he gets swept into a family drama where money is being laundered, millions more have been embezzled, and everyone – including the mob – is out for blood.
It all leads to murder.
He must dust off his expertise as a retired Scotland Yard detective and prove his client did not murder the man who had it coming.
