Dying For Millions
Sophie Rivers is rightly proud of her cousin Andy, a famous rock’n’roll star. Andy has just renounced the excesses of the music business for a life of campaigning for good causes.
So why would anyone want him dead?
It all starts harmlessly enough: vandalism, graffiti . . . But when one of Andy’s roadies plunges to his death after swigging the singer’s drink, Sophie begins to fear for her cousin’s life.
And then the killer, tired of being thwarted, turns his attentions to Sophie . . .

Audio Tape - ISIS (2001)

Dying On Principle
Sophie Rivers thinks she’s fallen on her feet when a temporary research post takes her to George Muntz College, just yards from her Birmingham home. Her new employer offers pleasant, even lavish, facilities and state-of-the-art equipment. Perhaps, though, all is not as comfortable as it seems, as Melina, a computer technician, may have been about to explain. For once Sophie doesn’t have time to listen. But when Melina is found dead, it’s soon clear that other people are keen to hear what Sophie herself has to say - both her home and her college office are bugged.
There are any number of suspects. There’s the elusive Principal; Melina’s former colleague, Dr Trevelyan, rapidly confined to a psychiatric ward, and Richard Fairfax, the powerful property tycoon who enters Sophie’s life. Then there’s the fact that the College seems to lack only one thing: students . . . Diana Bishop

Audio Tape ISIS (2001)

Dying to Write
From the author of the highly acclaimed Power series.
For lecturer Sophie Rivers a writing course on the outskirts of Birmingham is a bit of a busman’s holiday. Still, creative inspiration might strike. But then, knowing Sophie’s luck, so might a murderer . . .
She can hardly believe it when a fellow student is found dead in her room. And when a course tutor goes missing, it’s clear that one of the students might be interested in death as reality rather than a literary concept.
But who is responsible? Sophie can’t control her investigative instincts, especially when she herself becomes a victim . . .
