Spirit of the Law

Meet a detective duo – a century apart! When new constable Steph is sent to mark time at a Liverpool police station on the verge of closing, she sees it as the death of her career. Then she meets Nora, the hundred-year-old ghost of a police officer, who's determined to get a few more cases under her belt. Together they investigate the Case of the Four Fingers, a macabre episode which has haunted Nora for over sixty years. It resulted in a young man's death – and never went to trial. However, Steph finds this cold case the least of her problems: having a ghost colleague isn't easy. Nora's bossy, out of step with modern life, and has a habit of disappearing whenever her boss turns up. Finally, Steph learns something that makes her question their whole relationship. Can Steph and Nora learn to trust each other? Will they solve the case before the police station is sold to developers? And what will happen if they do? The Case of the Four Fingers is the first book in the Spirit of the Law mystery series, set in modern Liverpool.

The spirit is unwilling… When ghost constable Nora is sent with her partner Steph to investigate a poltergeist wreaking havoc at a prestigious members' club in Liverpool, they assume it'll be easy. It turns out to be anything but. Nora's former boss, Superintendent Hicks, is the only one who can see the ghost at first – and he's far from pleased when he recognises him. The ghost himself, a club member until very recently, is horrified by the presence of another invisible spirit who is most definitely not a member. He doesn't know why he feels such revulsion – and he won't cease his mischief until the offending spirit is removed. Worse still, Nora begins to realise what she has missed out on in life, and fears that her position in the team is under threat. What will she do if her vocation is taken away? Who is this unknown spirit, what is he doing at the club, and why does the new ghost hate him so? And with Inspector Farnsworth's boss pushing them to restore calm, can the team solve the case and stay together? The Case of the Haunted Ghost is the second book in the Spirit of the Law mystery series, set in modern Liverpool.

Treasure takes many forms… When Tasha agrees to help her ghost colleague Nora solve a cold case, everything changes. Tasha was in her sergeant's good books. Now she's in disgrace and her in-tray's full of paperwork. Worst of all, her partner Steph is growing suspicious of her sneaking around. The case is far from straightforward. Mary, a young woman from the Regency period, is haunting St John's Gardens in search of her child. However, she is troubled by the ghost hunters chasing strange noises in nearby St George's Hall. Is there another ghost? If so, why is it making its presence known? Everything seems to be against the team. Sergeant Doughty has confined them to the office. The hall denies any paranormal activity. Even Inspector Farnsworth, usually eager to assist in historical cases, is keeping his distance. And as the case progresses, things come to light which threaten to break the team apart. Can the team solve the case and their problems? And will Tasha and Steph realise what really matters to them? The Case of the Lost Treasure is the third book in the Spirit of the Law mystery series, set in modern Liverpool.
