Books by Hamilton Crane

Customs & Excise are tracking a gang of cigar-smugglers who operate on the quiet Kent coast near Plummergen, home to retired art teacher Miss Emily Seeton. Their attempt at a midnight ambush goes wrong, and a man is found dead.

The gentle Miss Seeton? A thief? A preposterous notion-until she's accused of helping a pickpocket . . . and stumbles into a nest of crime. Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!

It's highway robbery for the innocent passengers of a motor coach tour. When Miss Seeton sketches the roadside bandits, she becomes a moving target herself. Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!

War-time England, and a young Miss Emily Seeton's suspicious sketches call her loyalty into question-until she is recruited to uncover a case of sabotage. Faced with bombs, sabotage and murder, Miss Seeton must summon all her courage-it is after all her nature to Keep Calm and Carry On!

Miss Seeton lends her talents to the village scheme to create a quilted 'Bayeux Tapestry' of local history. But her intuitive sketches reveal a startlingly different perspective - involving buried Nazi secrets, and links to a murdered diplomat and a South American dictator . . .
