About this series
One of Tony Dyce's friends is viciously maimed by a gang of international crooks in the first move by them to obtain the second half of an antique Chinese chess set, which when complete gives the location of one of the hoards of Nazi gold. After years spent trying to decipher the clues from their half set, without success, the pieces have for maximum security been spread around among the ex-SAS soldiers. Their peaceful civilian equilibrium is destroyed and their lives are at stake, along with the chess pieces, as the crooks go to extreme lengths to achieve their aim.

- Murder on the Back Burner
5
Jeremy Martyne has enjoyed his holiday in Rhodes and heads back to his home in the UK, looking forward to the next time he can go back to his other, hidden, life, happily unaware that it will never be. His death when his house explodes is the first in a series of apparently motiveless murders of retired Metropolitan police officers, made to look like accidents or suicides. Ex-Met himself, DCI Tony Dyce's curiosity is aroused by what initially seems to be an accidental death, and when other 'accidents' occur, affecting Martyne's old colleagues, the hunt is on. The forensic science is deep, dirty and diligent, as ever, and Jane is right there with her husband in the hunt for a motive, which is buried way back in the past.
- Murder on the High 'C'
Womaniser Klaus Kinser, conducting the West Midlands Philharmonic Orchestra, falls headlong into the orchestra pit, very dead. What looks like a heart attack is anything but - his body has surprisingly stopped producing proteins. Forensic scientist Jane Keller is hard pressed to identify the source of the problem as more musicians die, without apparent motive. Intriguing detective work leads to an electrifying climax, with a totally unexpected and ironic twist in the tail.
- Murder On Tiptoes
A clever psychopathic serial killer, who leaves no clue or deliberately misleading clues, has successfully caused two innocent police officers to be imprisoned for the murders of a dozen prostitutes in other parts of the country. Now he is killing in Norfolk, Detective Chief Inspector Tony Dyce's home territory. What Dyce does not know is that he is the perp's next intended fall-guy. Intriguing murders, with detailed, intimate forensic science, combined with sex, humour, mystery and schmalz, lead to an explosive, edge-of-the-seat final court case, where the outcome hangs on a thread. As an added bonus, both genders will learn things about their precious little parts they never knew before.
- Murder on the Chessboard

Their peaceful civilian equilibrium is destroyed and their lives are at stake, along with the chess pieces, as the crooks go to extreme lengths to achieve their aim.
