    PLOTTING

    The tourists and students poured into The Great Hall, the entrance to the Met. This would be the easy bit. If she picked the right time, when the crowds were at their busiest, it would be easy to slip away unnoticed. If he left the money under the ciborium in the Medieval Europe gallery, if…

  • PARANOIA

    PARANOIA

    ‘Delayed indefinitely’ was the phrase the captain had used, offering no further information. Outside the aeroplane, rain continued to pour but the weather wasn’t bad enough to ground flights. Peering through her window she saw the airport personnel circling them. No one seemed to approach the aircraft. It had been an hour now. Her mind…

    SEA AIR

    Coming to the south of France had been the wisest choice of his life. Retirement suited him, as did the Mediterranean sun, the walks along the coast, the relaxed pace of Medville and the wine. He sipped the glass of rosé (given to him by the owner of the vineyard next door) and thanked his…

    THE FAMOUS FIVE… AGAIN

    School holidays were the worst. It meant they would be back from their boarding schools and he wouldn’t get a moments peace.

  • THE TURRETS OF HOME

    THE TURRETS OF HOME

    Trudging through the cold night, the last remnants of the winter snow on the ground, she finally saw the lights glowing from the windows ahead. Above her the familiar turrets of the castle loomed. Four years since she had been taken by the crusaders. How she had changed since then, no longer the innocent thirteen…
