Counsel for The Defence
by Jeffrey Ashford
David Adams was only a moderately successful barrister in chambers in the Temple when the chance came to defend three men accused of robbery with violence. The crime was classically simple: the theft of a large wage withdrawal from a bank.
The police ahad gathered the facts which gradually knitted together into a pattern of evidence strong enough for the arrest.
After his conference with one of the accused he is forced to refuse the brief - but is then personally drawn into the world of violence and suffering the robbery has triggered, and it is made horribly clear to him he must defend the prisoners - and he must obtain an impossible verdict of not guilty. 1960 Hardcover by John Long Ltd.

A killer with a mission...A circle of old friends....A story of sex,lies and deceptions.
What happens to the children who slip through the official safety nets of child protection agencies? What must they suffer? What must they become?
Journalist Noel Baker finds a disturbing suggestion in a coroner's report: that the death of young Belinda Carey may not have been at the hands of her neglectful and abusive parents, but may have connections with the deaths of other abused children. All she has is just a glimpse of a possible pattern, of things not quite as they seem.
As Noel's investigation unfolds, the killer writes a diary. A diary revealing a brutal and scarring past, and a chilling present. A diary revealing that the killer is one of a circle of old university friends.
But which one?

Blowfly
by Patricia Cornwell Kay Scarpetta's work as Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner has come to an end.
Fearing that she is about to be fired by the governor, hounded in the media and in the courtroom, for what some claimed was her involvement in the murder of a deputy police chief, Scarpetta packs up her belongings and sets out for the warmth and solace of the Florida sun.
Settling into a new life as a private forensic consultant, Scarpetta is soon deep into a case that has left colleagues in Louisiana profoundly disturbed. A woman is found dead in a seedy hotel, dressed to go out, keys in her hand. Her history of blackouts and her violent outbursts while under their spell, offer more questions than clues about the cause of her death.
Then Scarpetta receives news that chills her to the core: from his cell on death row, Jean-Baptiste Chandonne - the vicious and unrepentant Wolfman, who pursued her to her very doorstep - demands to see her. Only to Scarpetta will he tell the secrets he knows the authorities desire. After all the death and destruction, what sort of endgame could this violent psychopath have in mind?
Irresistibly compelling, Blow Fly is Scarpetta's - and Cornwell's - most unforgettable journey yet..
