Books in the A Percy Peach Mystery series

Ex Ireland rugby player and now successful businessman Jim O'Connor is shot dead, point blank range, in the car park of a restaurant where he is hosting a family celebration. DCI Percy Peach is brought back from holiday to head up an investigation that has got nowhere.

Having recently joined the snooty Birch Lane Tennis Club, DS Clyde Northcott - DCI Peach's tall, black, powerful protege - finds that his rusty tennis skills are the least of his concerns. For when a distinguished club member is murdered, how can Northcott and Peach unveil the killer when almost everyone seemed to want the victim dead?
