Jones was convicted, but Detective Sergeant Arnold Baxter of the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary is determined to uncover the truth.

Verdict Unknown

The continuous ringing of the doorbell disturbs the shower of Detective Sergeant Albert Noel Parke, after he comes home to his wife from a tiring 20-hour shift. When he opens the door, the caller has already left, but what awaits him in his lounge is a gut-wrenching sight, even for a police officer.

The stock-piling evidence points to Parke being the cold-blooded killer of his wife. Yet circumstances take a fortunate turn when a chance incident leads to discovering the real perpetrator behind the crime.

All is well until ten years later, when Parke marries for a second time and his wife is strangled to death in the room on their honeymoon.

All suspicion points to the same murderer who killed Parke’s first wife.

Vengeance is Mine

In Nursery Rhymes, D.C.I. Keir Dickson put two young brothers behind bars for eight years. In They Never Saw It Coming, the government devised a two-year plan to reduce the congested English prisons. A priest by the name of Fr. Shaun O’Brien takes on the task of rehabilitating the two brothers, or so it appeared.

The story now continues with Shaun O’Brien escaping from the hospital bed, hellbent on revenge for the death of his two twin brothers, shot by British soldiers while trying to run a roadblock in Ireland, and for the torture to which he was submitted.
