Damned by Logic

Jeffrey Ashford

On-board the MV Helios, cruising around the Mediterranean, copywriter David Ansell is seeking inspiration to write a glowing account of his voyage for the ship's owner, Rex Cruising Company. His inspiration comes in the form of the blonde and beautiful Melanie Caine and they are inseparable for the rest of the cruise.
Back home in suburbia with his wife, Ansell is pining for Melanie, so is delighted to get a call from her summoning him to meet her - along with the toy monkey she asked him to take through customs for her. When she doesn't turn up, he assumes she's got cold feet and no longer wants to pursue their relationship. However, when reports of a woman's body being found, horrifically tortured, are aired on the news - and Ansell's home is broken into with tragic consequences - it seems there's something that Ansell may have that someone will do anything to find . .

Justice Deferred

A powerful examination of evidence and motive, truth and lies
Elaine Cane is scared of her suspicious, overbearing husband. But one day he goes too far - he drunkenly tries to use force on her, so she flees the house. A sense of responsibility makes her return, to check he has not injured himself in his drunken rage, and she finds herself in the middle of a nightmare. This powerful novel by Jeffrey Ashford examines the uneasy balance between evidence and motive, truth and lies, as the police investigate a case that is not as open-and-shut as it first seems . . .

A Dangerous Friendship

What price friendship?

Detective Constable Andy Gregg is security officer for Kent County CID, and takes his responsibilities very seriously. But when a robbery occurs just days after Andy has performed a security survey, tongues start wagging. Then it happens again with fatal consequences. Suddenly Gregg's superiors are faced with the very real possibility that someone inside CID is selling privileged information and the obvious suspect is Gregg himself . . .

Illegal Guilt

Detective Constable Perry breaks the rules when his niece goes missing.
The disappearance of seven-year-old Elaine is especially disturbing for Detective Constable Perry, because she is the daughter of his estranged sister. Breaking protocol by pursuing his enquiries in a case where a relative is involved, Perry is soon convinced of the perpetrator's identity, and it is a race against time before kidnapping turns into murder . . .

Criminal Innocence

A powerful novel of conscience and morality from a respected crime author
Steven Drury, a reputable barrister, is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Returning to his car after a late-night party, he is knocked to the ground and assaulted. He manages to catch a glimpse of his assailant's face enough for him to be able to identify Daniel Fitch in a police line-up. But unluckily for Drury, Fitch was fleeing from a robbery gone wrong, one in which he murdered a jeweller. And Fitch isn't going down without a fight . . .

Jigsaw Guilt

Death in suspicious circumstances
When Fiona Ross reported the disappearance of her close friend, Gillian Harvey, the police were far from satisfied that this was an incident which concerned them. But when they learned Gillian was wealthy while her husband was not their attitude changed. And as each newly discovered fact interlocked they became certain they were looking at a picture of murder . . .
