Not all detectives are heroes.
And when the dead can't defend themselves, help comes from the most unlikely sources.
It might be from P.I.s with offices in unusually high places ("Heaven Knows"). It might come from shapeshifters in love ("Stakes & Adders"). Hell, it could even come from...you've guessed it, Hell. ("667, Evil and Then Some"). But whether you're cruising a narrow boat down an English canal ("The Way It Is") or taking a break on an idyllic French lakeside ("Dead & Breakfast"), justice is like the endings in these stories. You never see it coming.
Autorentext
Award-winning author of sixteen historical thrillers, Marilyn Todd is also a prolific writer of short stories, most of which are crime, but which range from commercial women's fiction to comic fantasy and all points in-between. Born in England, these days she lives on a French hilltop surrounded by vineyards, châteaux and woods, and when she isn't killing people, Marilyn enjoys cooking. Which is pretty much the same thing.
