Publisher's Notes

After twelve years, the last person Scotland Yard Superintendent Duncan Kincaid expects to hear from is his ex-wife Victoria. But this is no social call. In her biographical research on troubled poet Lydia Brooke, Vics uncovered reasons to believe Lydias death five years ago was not suicide.Much to Kincaids surprise--and the unease of his partner and lover, Sergeant Gemma James--he finds he cant refuse Vic's request to look into the long-closed case. The police report raises questions, but not enough to reopen the investigation--until a second death occurs, this one clearly murder.Now Duncan and Gemma must sift through a tangle of relationships, secrets, and lies to find not just a killer, but a secret which will change their own lives forever.

Mourn Not Your Dead
by Deborah Crombie

Scotland Yard Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Sergeant Gemma James are sent to suburban Surrey to investigate the murder of a high-ranking police officer. Alastair Gilbert was bludgeoned to death in his kitchen, and the list of potential suspects is long--the man's arrogance earned him widespread enmity both in the village where he lived, and in police circles. But Duncan and Gemma must put aside their personal feelings to solve the most troubling case either has ever faced.

An Accidental Shroud
by Marjorie Eccles

When local antique jeweler Nigel Fontenoy's body is found at his cousin's building site, D.C.I. Gil Mayo and D.I. Abigail Moon think they have a simple case on their hands. Both detectives suspect that this murder was a family matter and that they needn't search far down the family tree. After all, Fontenoy's cousin, Jake Wilding, was heavily in debt to the dead man, and his inability to offer even a vaguely plausible account of his whereabouts on the night of the murder casts Wilding in a dubious shadow. And things look even blacker for Wilding when traces of Fontenoy's blood are found on one of his trucks. But the puzzle becomes more intricate when Wilding finally names his alibi--an ex-wife--and claims that Fontenoy had been pressuring him to secure something from her of great value to the jeweler. Is it a piece of jewelry, a document, or something even more precious?
