LOVE STORY, WITH MURDERS #2
It’s end-of-shift. Fiona and a uniformed colleague get called on their way home – illegal rubbish in Cyncoed; how hard can that be? But when they arrive they find, in the stinky bottom of a dead woman’s freezer, a woman’s leg, complete with high-heeled shoe. The victim is Mary Langton, a poledancer who vanished some five years earlier . . . but then new body parts start appearing, and these are dark-skinned, and male, and totally fresh.
Fiona’s investigation takes her to some dark places – and some very cold ones – and as she seeks final justice, she realises she’s lucky to be still alive.

THE STRANGE DEATH OF FIONA GRIFFITHS #3
A Cardiff superstore has suffered a payroll fraud: phantom employees siphoning cash. It’s an assignment that Fiona hates – no corpses – but she’s lumbered with it anyway. Then she finds the body of a woman who has starved to death. And it becomes clear that within the first, smaller crime, a vast one looms: the most audacious theft in history. The Serious Organised Crime Agency need a copper who can go undercover, and they ask Fiona to take on the role.
She’ll be alone, she’ll be lethally vulnerable – and her new ‘colleagues’ will stop at nothing to get what they want.

THIS THING OF DARKNESS #4
Artwork stolen then mysteriously returned. A security guard dead in a cliff fall. A marine engineer who committed suicide in a locked and inaccessible apartment. These things couldn’t be connected, could they? Everyone thinks not, but Fiona – jammed into an Exhibits Officer role she hates – thinks otherwise. As Fiona continues to pursue her enquiries, she comes to realise that she’s looking at a crime of breathtaking ambition.
Trouble is, as Fiona closes in, the gang realise they need information and with the police operation in data lockdown, they realise they’ve got only one place to get it: Fiona herself.

THE DEAD HOUSE #5
It’s a howling October night. Midnight in a country churchyard. And lying in an outbuilding is the body of a young woman. There are no signs of violence – but why is she wearing only a thin white summer dress? Why are her legs unshaved? And why is she surrounded by a hundred guttering candles?
Those are the questions that provoke the strangest – and perhaps the darkest – case of Fiona’s career. And, in an unforgettable climax, her investigations come to close in on her so very literally that she wonders whether she’ll ever see the light of day again.
