Ricochet

Now, in the blank-faced and mazed city, death had become vicious and secret and cold. Somewhere out there, an ego was coiled, waiting. Winner of a Golden Dagger award, Paula Gosling's Monkey Puzzle introduces us to Detective Lieutenant Jack Stryker. An obsessive cop, an oddball, and (occasionally) a genius. When Grantham University's most unpopular professor is viciously murdered there are a myriad of potential suspects, and one of whom happens to be connected to Stryker's past .

Monkey Puzzle

Every year, the normally staid citizens of Blackwater Bay celebrate Halloween with a carnival of madness and laughter - they call it the Howl. Practical jokes are the speciality of the day and every town in the county competes for the wildest 'Howler' of all. For one person however, the Howl means murder. Under cover of the carnival, the killer that struck thirty years ago strikes again. Or, at least, that is what Sheriff Matt Gabriel thinks. Everybody else says he's crazy. Suspicion, hatred and resentment surround him as he searches for the person who killed once, twice - and may kill again. Witty, full of incident and character, with a genuinely surprising solution, A Few Dying Words, once again proves Paula Gosling's mastery in the art of the whodunit.

A Few Dying Words

After her husband's tragic death Tess Leland has finally started to piece her life back together - but someone is determined to take it apart again .

L'Arnaque n'est plus ce qu'elle était

Ce n'est pas tous les jours que l'on tombe nez à nez avec un cadavre grignoté par les poissons en creusant un trou dans la glace pour pêcher. Surtout quand la cause de la mort s'apparente plus à un impact de balle qu'à une attaque de truites enragées...
Et dire que le shérif Matt Gabriel s'apprêtait à passer un hiver calme, seulement rompu par la traditionnelle fête de la Glace !
La disparition mystérieuse d'une jeune fille du lycée local, élève de Jess Gibbons, ne fait qu'aggraver la situation. De plus, on murmure que la disparue n'avait pas froid aux yeux...
Difficile de découvrir le moindre indice, quand la moindre surface à l'air libre est recouverte par trois mètres de neige, et que même les cadavres arrivent difficilement à remonter à la surface des eaux gelées...
Suspense et humour par -40° C, un exploit uniquement réalisable par Paula Gosling !

Au coeur de l'hiver

A murdered nurse, disappearing drug supplies, diminishing funds and the sudden death of two apparently healthy patients are just some of the problems confronting Blackwater Bay's leading private clinic. Laura Brandon, recently arrived physiotherapist and self-appointed sleuth, realises that a lot of people have something to hide. Confronted by tight-lipped colleagues, inter-staff feuds, and strange tales about a shadowy evil that lurks in the woods, Laura begins to believe the theory of a psychotic killer on the loose. Then another, eerily similar, murder occurs and she knows the solution cannot be impersonal. Fast-paced, entertaining and expertly plotted, Paul Gosling's latest tale from the Great Lakes brilliantly confirms her mastery in the art of the murder mystery.

Death and Shadows

When a fish-nibbled corpse floats up into a fisherman's ice hole in the frozen wastes of Blackwater Bay one morning, the shock is enough to shake Jess Gibbons out of an idle reverie on the gloomy state of her life. And as soon as Sheriff Matt Gabriel's team confirm the body to be a mob-connected New York ex-con who could have been in the area to carry out a hit, Blackwater's quiet streets threaten to be submerged by a ravenous media circus. Then a second puzzle emerges: a girl from the local high school and one of Jess's pupils, inexplicably goes missing. As the community prepares for its annual Ice Festival, speculation abounds as Matt and Jess seek to solve the burning questions of the hour. Are the two cases connected? Was the girl's recent caution for drug use a factor? And will Jess sort her life out in time for the wife-sliding competition?Weaving diverse strands together with great wit and ingenuity, The Dead of Winter is another hugely entertaining slice of murder and mystery from the Great Lakes
