Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.’ – Alfred Lord Tennyson
When celebrated British violinist Arthur Barrington is found dead in his Vienna hotel room, a room he was sharing with his own father, the Austrian police are left scrambling. Was it an accident? Did he somehow take his own life? Or did someone kill him?
With Arthur being a British citizen, and not much to go on, the Austrian police call in the help of DCI Sandy McFarlane from the Foreign Office, to help them investigate this young man’s death. As Sandy digs deeper, the investigation takes a dark turn, leading him not only through the streets of Vienna but also back to his home turf, and the quaint country lanes of Stamford, England.
Will he be able to patch together this twisted case? Or will this be the one that finally stumps the infamous detective?
Body Overboard (DCI McFarlane Book 4)
When Oscar-winning actress Vivienne Jones goes missing from the yacht Magnificence off the coast of Barbados, DCI Sandy McFarlane is brought in to uncover what happened to her.
Is her vanishing act just one big publicity stunt? Did she simply fall overboard? Or is something more sinister at work?
With Sandy at the helm, the investigation develops at rapid speed, but in the midst of a worldwide media storm, and with the team finding themselves repeatedly stumped by twists and turns, will they be able to solve the mystery of her disappearance?
Death at Chateau Peveril (DCI McFarlane Book 3)

Against his superior’s wishes, Sandy travels to Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion, and swiftly concludes that something is not quite right with the circumstances of the Viscount’s death. Enlisting the help of an old friend, DCI Rich Singh, Sandy embarks on a complex and intriguing murder investigation.
