A Detective Lavender Short Story
Picture
THERE'S NO HONOUR AMONG THIEVES 
When a robbery in the crowded streets of Piccadilly takes an unusual twist, Constable Woods is blamed and a royal scandal threatens to erupt.  Detective Stephen Lavender must act quickly to track down the rogues, clear his friend’s name and avert the crisis.  But as the news of this high-profile crime spreads around Regency London, Lavender finds himself in a race against time with a murderous gang of cut-throats. 
Can he solve this case before they extract their deadly revenge?
