When Matthew Crane seeks help from the respected family-run law firm of Arnotts in a dispute over property, it never looks like a straightforward case. For Matthew is the charismatic founder and teacher of the quasi-religious cult known as The Programme, and, inevitably, a controversial figure. In spite of her brother’s opposition and her father’s disquiet, Carey Arnott takes the case and finds herself both attracted to Matthew and drawn into The Programme. But The Programme’s darker forces are at work. An inner circle, led by Cassandra, Matthew’s sensual wife, is more interested in personal power, money and sexual gratification …

In 1940, Helen Chapman and Annie Taylor set out to seek independence and do their bit for the war effort.

As Red Cross volunteer aid detachment nursing auxiliaries, they are assigned to an RAF hospital in Southern England. Work is hard, discipline firm, and fraternising with patients forbidden.

Dave Woolf, solicitor and private eye, has had respectability thrust upon him. He’s also been saddled with the most sensational case of his career. High Court Judge Sir Russel Orbach is a pillar of the establishment and a doting guardian to the orphaned Frankie. In public, that is. In private, according to Frankie’s famous half-sister, he’s a murderer. What’s more, she’s going to say so in her forthcoming autobiography. Would Woolf, asked the petrified publisher, check up on this bizarre accusation? It’s just up Woolf’s street; as he specialises in investigating the misconduct of members of the legal profession. It’s …

No one falls as viciously, as painfully, or as messily as lawyers. Jack Nicholas, left-wing barrister, was supposed to have died in an accident. Drunk, said the coroner. Murdered, said his mother. Enter Dave Woolf, ex-solicitor, boozer, and down-at-heel private eye. Even before Woolf starts asking questions, he finds that he is investigating not one death, but the wholesale despatch of Jack Nicholas’ erstwhile colleagues. There is very little for Woolf to go on as he treks through the glitz and sleaze of London, through France and Norway in search of an elusive German, other than the apparent coincidence that …

It was, as Dave Woolf said, "The sort of thing that doesn’t happen in England." High-court corruption, gangsters, fire bombs and a bit of murder on the side, all of it against the backdrop of a family drama raging through London, the West Country, and the South of France. Nor is it the sort of thing that solicitors ought to be investigating. But Woolf is no ordinary solicitor. Back in the legal fold after a spell as a private eye, he’s roped into a spot of detection for the usual reason: an irresistible fee. Sustained by hefty slugs of Southern …

Can a teenage thug that is beyond all hope and hated by his neighbours fall in love? Does he have feelings like all other so-called humans? Most of us think it’s impossible, or maybe we can’t imagine it. The church thinks there is good in everyone and maybe by this story they could be right. The first love of our young lad’s life is a girl that has spent most of her 18 years in and out of hospital with a weak heart. It’s a love full of sympathy on his part. Within a month or so of their meeting, …
