Detective Inspector ‘Percy’ Peach is not a natural sportsman. However, as chance would have it, a recent discovery at his local club might just allow for his other talents to come to the fore. A body has been found on the golf course. It is that of a pregnant young woman, killed by strangulation. Upon examining the body, they make a troubling discovery. Her corpse has been there approximately two years. Peach is given the case, but along with a cold trail, he must contend with his new sidekick, one DS Blake, as well as Tommy Tucker, his snobbish superior. From the girl’s grieving parents to her former flames, everyone seems to know more about this case than they are letting on. As the suspect list lengthens, Peach realises that the killer might be closer to home than he first thought…

The body is identified as Father John Bickerstaffe. But who would want to kill a man of religion who was widely respected in the local community? As DI Peach and DS Blake delve into the life of the Priest, they soon discover that he is not the only victim in this case...
When the Bishop Hogan summons them to reveal shocking details of the secret life of Father Bickerstaffe, they realise that he had a terrible secret. A secret which caused not only his downfall, but also his death. Recently disgraced, Father Bickerstaffe left a wealth of potential killers in his wake. As the case unravels, and the potential suspects stretch from religion to politics, DI Peach and DS Blake must ask, how far would a parent go to protect, or to avenge, their child?

Chief Inspector Peach finds the memories of squatters hard to budge Everyone in Brunton is happy to see the decaying, uninhabitable terraced houses of the old cotton town finally demolished to make way for a new industrial development. Happy, that is, until the clearance reveals a grisly secret. As the bulldozers level the site and the old walls are toppled, a decaying arm appears among the debris, raised aloft to the heavens, as if beseeching justice. The corpse gradually acquires an identity, and it seems that this woman lived out the last months of her life as a squatter in one of the derelict houses. DCI Peach discovers a nun, a concert pianist and other, less savoury, characters who were among the victim's companions at that time. But he finds their memories are not easily stirred about things they would rather forget.

17 - Brothers' Tears
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. It seems Jim O’Connor had some rather unpleasant business contacts, many with the motive to get rid of him. However, when law-abiding Dominic O’Connor is also killed, within days of his brother, Brunton CID can only assume there must be some link between the two murders, so should they really be looking closer to home for the culprit . . .?
19 - Backhand Smash
DCI Peach and DS Northcott investigate a murder at an exclusive tennis club: Detective Sergeant Clyde Northcott – DCI Peach's tall, black, powerful protégé – has no interest in joining the snooty Birch Lane Tennis Club. So it is unfortunate for him when committee member Olive Crawshaw decides he would be the perfect talisman for the club's new, and controversial, policy to recruit members from a wider ethnic and social background.
Clyde soon finds himself thrust into an exclusive community where his rusty tennis skills are the least of his concerns: for 'exclusive' does not mean moral, and while some of the club's members sail very near the law, one or two of them go far beyond it. So when a distinguished club member is murdered, a problem arises: how can he and Peach unveil the killer, when almost everyone seemed to want the victim dead?
