|summary=It was just before Christmas when Melanie Muncy went missing from an isolated Yorkshire hamlet in a particularly harsh winter. DI Jim Brindle from the elite detective unit, Cold Storage, was sent to investigate and he could have been helped by Roddy Mace, a local journalist. Only Brindle, the obsessive compulsive, teetotal, vegetarian loner wants nothing to do with the writer. Mace is desperate to revive his flagging career. Well it's more than flagging: he left London in disgrace, so it's the two men living on the outskirts of life who are trying independently to trap the man they believe is responsible for Melanie's disappearance and that man is Steven Rutter, another loner, near destitute and living high on the moors, who knows all the hiding places. He knows the secrets of the local town too and there are those who fear that he might tell more than should be known.

|title=The Mystery of the Three Orchids
|rating=3
|genre=Crime
|summary=All the ladies of O'Brian Fashion House are trying to do is to present their works in the best of lights to the best of Milanese and European society, but they're not going to find a dead person on their premises much help. Cristiana lives in Casa O'Brian, on the top floor of the building where everything key to her company happens, and it's on her bed that she finds the corpse – resplendent with an orchid perched nearby, an orchid that bizarrely means a lot to her. What could it signify? Was she correct in thinking she'd seen some people she really didn't want to see back in her life, in the audience below? And who here might not actually be who they first appear? It'll be a tough case for Inspector de Vincenzi, that's for sure.
