Jill Staynes Book order
Jill Staynes crafts narratives under her own name and as Elizabeth Eyre and Susannah Stacey. Collaborating with Margaret Storey, she has produced both the acclaimed Superintendent Bone modern detective series and a captivating series of Italian Renaissance whodunnits. The two authors first bonded over imaginative storytelling during their school days, creating peculiar characters and exchanging serialized tales. Their youthful literary collaboration, a fifteen-year-old's venture titled 'Bungho, or why we went to Aleppo,' remained unpublished but foreshadowed their successful partnership.

For Superintendent Robert Bone, these were only the first complications in a case that would include champagne corks that masked the sound of gunfire, a missing, suspect, a stolen religious artifact, an orphaned cat, and the unexpected assistance of one very pretty biology teacher.
