Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
When the champion of Three Corners, the finest dog ever bred in Alisa Potts' kennels, is found lying dead in the corner of his enclosure, it's up to Simon Bognor, special investigator for the Board of Trade, to find out what happened. No dog lover, Bognor doesn't relish the task. Somehow, the more absurd and low-key the assignment, the more trouble he tends to attract. This time, however, he's really destined to go to the dogs.
Unbecoming Habits
When Brother Luke is found lying face-down among the potatoes, with deep magenta marks around his neck which match the pattern of the crucifix chain he always wore, it's up to Simon Bognor, special investigator for the Board of Trade, to find out what happened. Can the soft, rumpled, desk-bound Bognor succeed where his tough, experienced predecessor failed rather spectacularly?
Blue Blood Will Out
When the body of Frederick, third Earl of Maidenhead, is discovered drifting downstream in his individually-styled, monogrammed bathing trunks, special investigator Simon Bognor acknowledges that this will be no ordinary murder investigation. For the suspects include some of the bluest blood in the land. Is Bognor out of his depth?
Poison At The Pueblo
A Simon Bognor mystery
At an exclusive language school in the hills outside Salamanca, former British gangster Jimmy Trubshawe is discovered flat on his back in his luxury cabin, clad only in boxer shorts and white socks, his face an unattractive shade of purple. He is, of course, extremely dead. The cause is soon established as the ingestion of poisonous mushrooms. But was the unfortunate Trubshawe's fatal meal an accident - or murder? Alerted by his contacts in the Spanish Guardia Civil, Sir Simon Bognor decides it's his business to find out . . .
Death in the Opening Chapter
A Simon Bognor mystery
On the eve of the Flanagan Fludd Literary Festival, the Reverend Sebastian Fludd is discovered gently swinging from the end of a rope in his own church. While Sebastian's cousin and lord of the manor, Sir Branwell Fludd, is keen to wrap up the affair with the minimum of fuss, Branwell's friend, Sir Simon Bognor, is more concerned to get to the truth. Did the mild-mannered vicar really take his own life – or was his unexpected demise the result of something more sinister? . . .
