Only on Tuesdays: A Pete Schofield Caper

Carol Ann was very photogenic. Especially in certain pictures… But it was more than just a case of over-exposure. There was also a small matter of murder. For Pete Schofield, it was all in a day's – and night's – work. And very enjoyable work at that. Because Carol Ann was a cooperative subject, both on and off camera… "Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" – Bill Pronzini

Can a Mermaid Kill?

So unmoving was the girl sitting on the wet rocks that, at first, she seemed a permanent feature of the rugged seascape. She was wearing an expensive evening dress and high-heel slippers. She seemed to be in a deep trance, her gaze fixed on the sea, motionless except for the tossing of her delicate blond hair in the morning breeze. And as his steps brought him closer, he thought he had never seen anything so strange, so lovely, so vulnerable … until he caught sight of the gun in her hand!
