Sleuth Stories

In a city where silence hides more than words ever could, truth isn't uncovered-it's cornered. When a routine interrogation turns suffocatingly tense, a suspect realizes too late that the man across the table isn't just a detective. He doesn't ask questions. He already knows the answers. Cold. Precise. Unreadable. Every glance is calculated. Every movement observed. And every escape? Already accounted for. As the pressure tightens and the walls seem to close in, one question begins to drown out all others: Who is really being interrogated? Because in this room, the greatest threat isn't the crime- ...it's the man who's already solved it.

Excerpts from the Velvet Paw of Asquith novels, the infamous international jet-setting adventures of Oscar Teabag-Dooven, involving greed, espionage and the odd foray into professional cheese-shaping. Consider a world inhabited with only cats and dogs: a society recognizable as our own, but with its eccentricities being the norm, rather than the exception. A world where the charm of Kenneth Grahame's Wind In the Willows meets the exotic world of Ian Fleming's Bond. A world where fluffy just got dangerous. These are the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels, also known as the Dooven Books: welcome to the genre of New Fable. The books follow Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a secret agent who believes he's more poet than spy. He finds training brash and clinical, with far too much shouting and not enough singing. But triumphing over villains and thwarting their garish plans isn't easy when unable to do much more than rhyme one lot of words with another. Nevertheless, he succeeds with the help of the characters he meets and a courage that arises when he believes it cannot.

There were two kinds of attack. The first was a personal attack, where the cyber criminal launched a virus against a website. The second was more serious and involved somebody accessing the information you held online, often big businesses, and stealing your data or using the information to try and defraud your customer base. It was against such a background that Rita worked, working for the big insurance companies in the City of London. She'd turned down an opportunity to work in Norwich, which would have entailed a seaside posting, something she dreamed of, but she knew in her heart that the big action was in the city. Although she'd lived in England most of her life, she could lay claim to an Irish heritage too. Both of her parents were Irish and proud of that connection too. Her late father had often reminisced about cutting the turf out in the fields around Galway, and Rita suspected he harboured a secret desire to return to the auld sod some day and reestablish
