Nicolette Mace: the Raven Siren - Filling the Afterlife from the Underworld: Volume 3

By C.S. Woolley

The day to day life of a private investigator is not all glitz and glamour.

"My name is Nicolette Mace, but you might know me as the Raven Siren. I'm a Private Investigator living the 1930s romantic dream in this new and exciting modern age. I keep records of everything that happens; everything I have seen and done. Why? There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophies."

Nicolette Mace: The Raven Siren – Filling the Afterlife from the Underworld: Volume 3 features extracts from the Raven Siren’s online blog and give an insight into the world that she inhabits, her relationships and views on the world in general.

Events featured in this volume take place between Nicolette Mace: The Raven Siren - Beginnings and Nicolette Mace: The Raven Siren - The Kevin Metis Saga.

‘So when Fred and Harry turned up at my office, put me in handcuffs and threw me in the back of the car I assumed that I was just being arrested again - this time for break and entering, however when I was taken to the airport and frog marched between the two of them onto a plane that took off; I got the impression that I wasn't being taken to the police station - call me crazy.’
-Holidays, Nicolette Mace
