A James "Bonnie" Dundee Mystery The boarding house run by Mrs. Rhodes was a pleasant place, clean and quiet, that is until one of her lodgers, Emma Hogarth is found brutally murdered in her room. The victim had been reputed to keep a large amount of cash hidden in her room. Certainly many of the current and former lodgers would have found a use for the money, and not a few of them were keeping secrets. But, there was also a hint that something in Emma Hogarth's past might have been behind her murder. For his first case, newly appointed detective James Dundee might have wished for something simpler, especially when he discovers that his best witness is a parrot.

A James "Bonnie" Dundee Mystery It's been said that you can't go home again. When Yola Conova, a film star trying to rebuild a flagging career with a cross country public relations tour arrives, there are some in the small city of Hamilton convinced that that is what she has done. Except that before she had left Hamilton years earlier she had been called Madge Smith and had worked as a maid. The mystery surrounding Conova only deepens when her body is found hanging from a bridge on a frigid night. Special Investigator James Dundee finds himself with plenty of unanswered questions. What had driven her to suicide? Was it really murder and not suicide? And was the dead woman really the Madge Smith that had left Hamilton under a cloud?

When Arnold Rivers, a wealthy man, is found murdered at a bridge party, everyone is a suspect. Detective Inspector Arnold finds himself in a race against time to solve the case and bring the culprit to justice.
