Dangerous Hardboiled Magicians
Cowabunga, schweetheart! A book in the manner of Surfing Samurai Robots! In a Los Angeles that is something like ours–but in which magic has become an integral part of society–P.I. Turner Cronyn doesn't know why he's being threatened by a supernatural being. Does it have anything to do with the fact that zombies looking like him are turning up all over town? And who killed Misty Morning, the beautiful mage he was supposed to be protecting? But on the bright side, a beautiful woman named Astraea Scales seems determined to help with his investigations. There's just one little problem: is she really a Greek goddess related to the Three Fates–or does she just look like one? This is just one of the life-and-death questions that Cronyn must answer to avoid being made a zombie himself. Great fantasy and mystery adventure–the first in a series.

Hodgkiss and the Fatal Map
Hodgkiss and The Fatal Map / Hodgkiss and the Telltale Eyes / Hodgkiss and the Unsafe Safe<br /> <br />Hodgkiss is a cranky old sod. The continual sniping and point-scoring between him and his son-in-law, Detective Sergeant Donald Burke, drives his daughter Esme to distraction. Hodgkiss compensates for his obnoxious treatment of Donald by helping him to solve a series baffling crimes, thus giving a welcome boost to his son-in-law's career. But it is towards the incompetent and corrupt Kanundda Council that Hodgkiss directs the most venomous products of his bile. <br /> <br />Hodgkiss' letter-writing campaigns in the columns of the local newspaper, The Northern Star, create big problems for the dodgy councillors and their corrupt developer mates when details of their venal little schemes start appearing in print. And when disgruntled council employees begin leaking embarrassing information to Hodgkiss, the trouble starts… big-time.<br /> <br />Murderous mayors, cowardly councillors and manipulative staff weave their way through plots involving sudden death, blackmail, corruption and, of course, sex.<br /> <br />A murdered body in a locked room – but how did the killer escape? How was the invisible body identified? How did the blackmail photos vanish impossibly from a locked and guarded safe? Hodgkiss arrives at the truth through impeccable logic.
The Hodgkiss Mysteries Volume 9

Donald becomes an unwilling assistant as they attempt to retrace the elderly woman's steps. During the course of their investigation Hodgkiss finds himself once again in conflict with the bullyboys of Kanundda council and uncovers a particularly nasty, opportunistic murder.
The Hodgkiss Mysteries Volume 8
Hodgkiss and the Word Game / Hodgkiss and the Moving Picture / Hodgkiss and the GO Players<br /> <br />Observant, imaginative, creative, aggressive… offensive, all terms that could be readily and fairly applied to Edgar Hodgkiss as he goes about the delicate business of assisting his son-in-law, Detective Sergeant Burke, solve crimes without humiliating him.
The Hodgkiss Mysteries Volume 7
Hodgkiss Does His Duty / Hodgkiss and the Sceptical Scientist / Hodgkiss and the Ornamental Lion<br /> <br />When he is called up for jury duty the experience is not at all what Hodgkiss had expected. One of his fellow jurors, a former tennis professional, insists upon discussing the case with Hodgkiss during breaks in the trial in spite of the judge's directions to the contrary. Gradually it dawns on Hodgkiss that the circumstances of the case are not as they appear and he is forced to take rather unconventional action resulting in the trial being dramatically aborted.
