Alias The Enemy
After fleeing London and her failed marriage, the
Channel Island of Guernsey had felt like an escape to paradise for vet Anna Weston. With a
new post as junior partner in a St Peter Port veterinary practice, and a new love in
Guernseyman, Detective Inspector Tim Le Page, Anna has never felt happier or more secure.
Until she finds herself on the receiving end of a series of bizarre and terrifying
threats.
Anna cannot bear to believe that any of her new
friends or colleagues may be responsible, and it is almost a relief when suspicion falls
on her estranged husband, who has abandoned his home and business and left no forwarding
address.
But who sent Anna's husband an anonymous package of
photographs showing Anna and Tim together? And why would they want to cause trouble for
Anna? She and Tim are set to face further outrage before the final atrocity - the impact
of which will spread throughout the community.
In Alias The Enemy we again meet
characters featured in the well-received Death In Candie Gardens.
The
Verdict On Winter
In order to gain experience for a starring role in a
forthcoming series, actress Phyllida Moon had taken a temporary job with private eye Peter
Piper. She so enjoyed sleuthing in character she now alternates the two careers.
The agency is approached by a woman who has
discovered that her art-expert brother, on the staff of a local gallery, is receiving
anonymous letters accusing him of involvement in the faking of a pre-Raphaelite painting.
Phyllida is able to provide all-day surveillance which puts her at the heart of David
Lester's life: in the mornings she becomes his new part-time housekeeper, appointed by his
sister to cook and clean for him during her temporary absence from the house they share.
And in the afternoons, she transforms into the glamorous American widow working as
temporary receptionist at the gallery.
But Phyllida's investigations turn from fraud to
murder when, as the housekeeper, she discovers a dead body, forcing her to tell the
investigating chief superintendent that she is not what she seems.
DCS Maurice Kendrick has no relish for amateurs, but
he is a realist and reluctantly ask Phyllida to retain her unique positions...
The second title in a series featuring the unique
and immensely likeable Phyllida Moon.
Now You

To help her feel at home in her role as a private
eye in a forthcoming TV series, Phyllida finds a job with real-life detective agency where
she sleuths in character, entering the life of the unhappy Brian Fletcher as two very
different women. Fletcher is under suspicion from a neighbour of abusing his adoptive
daughter, the cool and enigmatic schoolgirl Judith, and displays the tensions of a guilty
man
