At the sumptuous SimpSon’s SuperSpa thousands of pounds change hands while the rich and corpulent clientele battle to fight the flab. But pounds that are not of the financial variety are harder to lose, as wheezy members of Millicent Wildwood’s aerobics class soon find out. So when one hapless participant suddenly drops dead during a particularly arduous stretch and firm exercise no one, at first, suspects murder. Enter Constable Jason Twitty, ex-Harrovian SuperSleuth, sartorially striking in embroidered bolero and cowboy boots, whose visit is supposed to be purely routine. But when he has a nasty experience in the jacuzzi, and is warned off the investigation by an unseen attacker, his sleuthing instincts are naturally aroused … It very soon becomes apparent that some of the SuperSpa’s inhabitants are interested in much more than the pursuit of the body beautiful. Praise for Michael Kenyon ‘Hilarious … a plot that grips like a clothespeg’ – Times Literary Supplement A highly acclaimed crime thriller writer, Michael Kenyon is the author of sixteen other novels, including the classic May You Die In Ireland. This is his first book to feature Jason Twitty and marks the welcome reappearance of Chief Inspector Peckover — Bard of the Yard — the poetic veteran of four previous sleuthing adventures.

(A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH Reporter Peter Ramsden once came to b...)
A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH Reporter Peter Ramsden once came to blows with the chauffeur of a hired limo and knocked out the driver's tooth with a lucky punch. Soon after, the limo crashed, leaving the four passengers dead - and both the driver and a million pounds missing. Only Ramsden had seen the chauffeur, and he didn't expect to see him again...especially not years later as the Reverend Jody James. Suddenly Ramsden was after the biggest story of his life.. .or a very quick way to die. When Scotland Yard's Inspector Henry Peckover heard threats against the London reporter, he too jumped on the Bible bandwagon-and found himself in Little Rock, Arkansas, on the trail of a killer who mixed of time religion with greed, lust, and unholy murder.
