Cry guilty
(This splendid thriller shows us Antony Maitland as Prosec...)
This splendid thriller shows us Antony Maitland as Prosecutor, as unusual role for him. Another unusual factor is that although complete in itself, the story is in a sense a sequel to 'Weep for Her'. A young man has been charged with receiving stolen goods - to wit, a Rubens painting. Since the painting had been found hidden in his rooms, and since it was undoubtedly stolen, his guilt seems certain. But Maitland has his doubts. He becomes more and more intrigued by the prevalence of art thefts, and the violence and death that has taken place, apparently to conceal the identity of the leader of the gang that stole the pictures. In the dock is a woman who has confessed to the murder of her husband. Maitland becomes Assistant Prosecuting Counsel for reasons that are not simple. He has a secondary objective; he is not wholly committed to establishing the guild of the accused. This is an exceptional new whodunit in as series hailed as "the best of barrister dramas" (Booklist) Book Dust Jacket

The Lie Direct
(Dr. Boris Gollnow, the Russian "specialist from Directora...)
Dr. Boris Gollnow, the Russian "specialist from Directorate T," wants to defect. And in revealing his secrets to the English government, he names John Ryder as the man who arranged the meetings between he and traitor Dennis Nesbit. Nesbit too names john Ryder, in the suicide note he leaves after Gollnow's intention to defect becomes know. Thus John Ryder may be guilty of treason under the Official Secrets Act. But is it the same John Ryder barrister Antony Maitland is called upon to defend? If so, Maitland's client not only betrayed his country, but committed bigamy as well - and neither offense will sit well with a jury. While Ryder claims it is a case of mistaken identity, Maitland himself takes on the case only half convinced of Ryder's innocence. As the case looks more and more hopeless, Maitland becomes more certain that his client's story, however farfetched, is true. He believes that Gollnow and Winifred - the supposed second wife - are lying. But for what purpose? And how to prove it? When a key witness is murdered, Maitland no longer doubts Ryder's innocence. He's convinced that someone feared the dead witness would say too much. And with characteristic determination and responsibility, Maitland risks his reputation to see that the real traitor and murderer is incarcerated. Sara Woods is bound to please old fans and gain new ones with this tale of treachery, murder, and riveting courtroom drama that ranks as one of her most ingenious and satisfying to date.

They Stay for Death
(Antony Maitland, barrister-detective extraordinaire, has ...)
Antony Maitland, barrister-detective extraordinaire, has not been impressed by the provincial town of Chedcombe. Nor has Chedcombe been impressed by him - his previous sorties there have let to scandal and confusion among the local worthies. Yet now he has been asked to go back there once again; asked by his aunt Vera, who has learned that something may be dreadfully wrong in the quiet little town. In the Restawhile Hotel, a private nursing-home outside Chedcombe, three old people have recently died. True, they had all been quite old, and the doctor who had attended the home signed the death certificates without hesitation. Nevertheless, gossip is rife in Chedcombe - and all three of the deceased were very rich. As Maitland has no standing from which to make enquiries, he goes to Chedcombe more to please his aunt than to search for mischief. But while he is there a fourth death takes place in the Restawhile, and the skeptical barrister suddenly realizes that the town gossips may indeed be right. This time there is a post mortem - and the result proves to be murder. Sara Woods is well known for the ingenuity of the conundrums she provides for Antony Maitland to solve. This one is especially baffling, and reader and detective alike are kept completely in the dark until the final, wicked revelation. Book Dust Jacket

Dearest enemy
(Leonard and Victoria Buckley are a legend of the London s...)
Leonard and Victoria Buckley are a legend of the London stage; in their forth-three married years they have played opposite each other in countless plays, and not the least of their charms is their apparently idyllic marriage. It is a shocked Antony Maitland, then, who learns that Leonard Buckley suspects his wife of trying to murder him. And when Victoria Buckley is killed on stage on the opening night of a new thriller in which she and her husband are once again both cast, the police are quick to pin the murder on the most obvious suspect: Leonard Buckley. But the famous barrister-detective Maitland is not so sure. As his investigation winds its elegant and intricate course, culminating in a dazzling court battle, Sara Woods fans will once again take pleasure in this superb addition to the series, and readers new to Antony Maitland mysteries will have the delightful experience of meeting one of mystery fiction's most intrepid and attractive heroes.

An Obscure Grave
(It isn't as if Antony Maitland likes to take on hopeless ...)
It isn't as if Antony Maitland likes to take on hopeless cases; it's just that clients in desperate straits keep turning to him for help. This time, the suave barrister/detective is asked to defend a young man named Oliver Linwood, who has been charged with the murder of his own baby cousin. Lisa Traherne, a friend of Antony's Aunt Vera, swears that Oliver could never have done such a thing - it's not in his nature. This is scant enough proof of Oliver's innocence, and there's even more damning evidence. Due to the "accidental" death of Oliver's uncle several months ago, and now the murder of his young cousin - a boy - Oliver is next in line for the Linwood inheritance. Oliver, thought, claims not to have any interest in material things; money would provide no motive for him to murder his own cousin. Antony intuitively feels that there is some truth in what Oliver and Lisa claim. In that case, who killed baby Mark? And why? The plot becomes even more complicated when Antony learns that there have been two similar infant murders by suffocation in recent months - both since the death of Oliver's uncle. A young woman named Henrietta Vaughan whose own baby was stillborn is believed to have been driven to commit these grisly murders out of grief-inspired insanity. Antony, convinced of Henrietta's innocence as well as Oliver's, furthermore believes that the two cases are related - and dedicates all of his considerable ingenuity to uncovering the truth in this brilliant addition to Sara Wood's renowned series.

Call Back Yesterday
(Antony Maitland's latest client is a girl called Harriet ...)
Antony Maitland's latest client is a girl called Harriet Carr. She is to face a charge of civil contempt in the Crown Court. Her crime, in Maitland's words, has been 'making a thorough nuisance of herself to a man called Peter Wallace. Molesting him in fact'. Harriet had been badgering Peter, a married man, at his home and his office. Harriet is deeply convinced that Peter is her husband, though they have only known each other a few months and Peter has demonstrably been married to someone else for several years. Is it a hallucination ? What is going on? Maitland is deeply intrigued. Harriet is placed in the hands of a hypnotist. He elicits the astonishing information that she had married Peter in 1 940 during the Battle of Britain : what is involved is a theory of reincarnation, since neither the present Peter Wallace nor Harriet Carr had been born at that date. Investigations as to what really happened in 1 940, details of places, names and dates tend to corroborate Harriet's memory of a former life with her Peter, an RAF pilot in the 1 940 reincarnation, one of 'the few'. There is a murder that comes as a total shock as regards both victim and culprit. And the whole scenario becomes even more baffling as Harriet's sessions with the hypnotist take her further and further into the past -- other 'Peters' emerge from different centuries.

Locked in combat with his puritanical father over the famous oil's fate, Roddy had just consulted the celebrated barrister-detective Antony Maitland when the "hot" masterpiece led to cold-blooded murder. Someone had added lethal monkshood to daddy's daily vitamins, and Roddy was suspect number one. Could Antony prove Roddy innocent... and find out which art lover was a killer at heart?
