THE NAUTICAL CHART
Their journey becomes dangerous. Does the treasure really exist? Are there secrets dwelling in the depths of the sea? And what of the depths of the heart?
THE FLANDERS PANEL
In the painting, the Duke of Flanders and his knight are locked in a game of chess, and a dark lady lurks mysteriously in the background. Julia is determined to solve the five-hundred-year-old murder, but as she begins to look for clues, several of her friends in the art world are brutally murdered in quick succession. Messages left with the bodies suggest a crucial connection between the chess game in the painting, the knight's murder, the sordid underside of the contemporary art world, and the latest deaths. Just when all of the players in the mystery seem to be pawns themselves, events race toward a shocking conclusion.
THE FENCING MASTER
One day he is approached by a mysterious woman who seeks to learn the secret of "the unstoppable thrust," a supreme moment at the very heart of the art of fencing. All too soon he finds himself in the vortex of a plot that includes seduction, secret political documents, and more than one murder.

Kerrie: He sounds amazing writing three very different mysteries.
Kerrie - Thanks for this. I really like the weaving together of past and present when it's done well, so these really appeal to me...
Some people don't classify him as crime fiction these days Bill, more historical
Kerrie, I chose mine before I knew what your post would be. But I focused completely on The Fencing Master since I just finished it.
There is a bit less mystery in his writing. More what I'd call suspense....
