Through the eyes of Leon Cazador, half-English, half-Spanish
private investigator, we experience the human condition in many guises. This
collection covers twenty two cases, some insightful, some humorous, and some
tragic. The tales evoke tears and laughter, pleasure at the downfall of
criminals, and anger at arrogant evil-doers.
Sometimes, Cazador operates in disguise under several aliases, among them Carlos Ortiz Santos, a modern day Simon Templar; he is wholly against the ungodly and tries to hold back the encroaching night of unreason. Cazador translated into English means hunter. In his adventurous life he has witnessed many travesties of justice; he is a man driven to hunt down felons of all kinds, to redress the balance of good against evil. Leon Cazador fights injustice in all its forms and often metes out his own rough justice. It's what he does.

Laura Reid likes her new job on Tenerife, teaching the Spanish twins Maria and Ricardo Chávez. She certainly doesn’t want to get involved with Andrew Kirby and his pal, Jalbala Emcheta, who work for CITES, tracking down illegal traders in endangered species. Yet she’s undeniably drawn to Andrew, which is complicated, as she’s also attracted to Felipe, the brother of her widower host, Don Alonso. Felipe’s girlfriend Lola is jealous and Laura is forced to take sides – risking her own life – as she and Andrew uncover the criminal network that not only deals in the products from endangered species, but also thrives on people trafficking. The pair are aided by two Spanish lawmen, Lieutenant Vargas of the Guardia Civil and Ruben Salazar, Inspector Jefe del Grupo de Homicidios de las Canarias.
Very soon betrayal and mortal danger lurk in the shadows, along with the dark deeds of kidnapping and clandestine scuba diving…

When justice fails, a vigilante steps forward. In the broken
Britain of today, faith in the police is faltering. Justice and fairness are
flouted. Victims are not seen as hurt people but simply as statistics. Paul’s
family is but one example of those victims of unpunished criminals. In the
English south coast town of Alverbank, many others are damaged and grieving. It
cannot go on. There has to be a response, some way of fighting back. A
vigilante soon emerges and delivers rough justice, breaking the bones and cracking
the heads of those guilty individuals who cause pain without remorse.
Who is the vigilante? He – or she – is called the Black Knight. The police warn against taking ‘the law into your own hands’. But the press laud the vigilante’s efforts and respond: ‘What law?’ Will the Black Knight eventually cross the line and kill? Paul and his family seem involved and they are going to suffer…

Czechoslovakia, 1975. Tana is a spy - and she’s psychic. Orphaned
in the Warsaw ghetto during the Second World War, she was adopted by a naval
officer and his wife. Now she works for the British Secret Intelligence
Service. Czechoslovakia’s people are still kicking against the Soviet invasion.
Tana is called in to restore morale and repair the underground network. But
there’s a traitor at work… And she learns about a secret Soviet complex in the
Sumava Mountains. Unknown to her there’s a top secret establishment in
Kazakhstan, where Yakunin, one of their gifted psychics, has detected her
presence in Czechoslovakia.
When Tana infiltrates the Sumava complex, she’s captured! A desperate mission is mounted to either get her out or to silence her - before she breaks under interrogation.

The tense and explosive sequel to The Prague Papers. 1978. Iran is
in ferment and the British Intelligence Service wants Tana Standish’s
assessment. It appears that CIA agents are painting too rosy a picture, perhaps
because they’re colluding with the state torturers… Allegiances and loyalties
are strained as Tana’s mission becomes deadly and personal. Old friends are
snatched, tortured and killed by SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police. She has to
use all her skills as a secret agent and psychic to stay one step ahead of the
oppressors and traitors.
As the country stumbles towards the Islamic Revolution, the Shah’s grip on power weakens. There’s real concern for the MI6 listening post near the Afghan border. Only Tana Standish is available to investigate; yet it’s possible she could be walking into a trap, as the deadly female Spetsnaz fighter Aksakov has been sent to abduct Tana.
Meanwhile, in Kazakhstan, the sympathetic Yakunin, the psychic spy tracking Tana, is being sidelined by a killer psychic, capable of weakening Tana at the critical moment in combat with Aksakov. Can Yakunin save Tana without being discovered? In the troubled streets of Iran’s ancient cities and amidst the frozen wastes on the Afghan border, Tana makes new friends and new enemies…
