IN THIS FIVE-BOOK BOX SET:
BOOK 1: MURDER INCLUDED
Horse-faced lodger Aunt Hudson is poisoned in her bed. As an outsider, DI Price is summoned from Scotland Yard to investigate the upper class. All evidence points to Lady D'Estray, who made no secret of her feelings towards Aunt Hudson. But has Price's disdain for the ruling classes thrown him off the scent of the real murderer?
BOOK 2: BODY IN THE BECK
A man's bloated corpse is found floating in a mountain pool in the Lake District. With no credible alibi, the climber who discovered him is prime suspect. But among the breathtaking surroundings, DI Price is about to unearth blackmail and shadowy secrets that make the case a bit harder to crack.
BOOK 3: AND BE A VILLAIN
Womaniser Dr Richard Hallow is murdered in his surgery -- a single blow to the back of his neck. There is no shortage of suspects. The social-climbing doctor never hid his snobbery and distaste for his patients. DI Price must sift through the doctor's many enemies to uncover the real motive for murder.
BOOK 4: LONG SHADOWS
Rising literary star Dawn Meadowes is brutally stabbed in her own courtyard. Price and his team must act quickly to narrow down the suspects and prevent another death. It looks like the answer to Dawn's murder lies in stories not published...
BOOK 5: ALL IS DISCOVERED
A woman's battered body is found in a small village near the sea. On holiday in the area, DI Price attaches himself to the local police investigation. Another body washes up on the beach. This time shot. Price must uncover the dark secrets hidden from holidaymakers to stop another death.
MEET THE DETECTIVE
DETECTIVE INSPECTOR RONALD PRICE is not an easy man to like. An avowed socialist, he blames his own limitations on the Tories. He despises the upper classes but tries to rid himself of any speech and behaviour that might reveal his middle class aspirations. Yet DI Price has a knack for solving murders, even when they occur in obscure parts of the country and among the most unexpected groups of people.
