Lestrade and the Dead Man's Hand

Trow, M J

The London Underground railway in 1895 is described as 'dark and deadly and halfway to Hell'. Only too true, for as the last train rattles into Liverpool Street, the one remaining passenger does not get off. How could she, when her eyes stare sightless and her heart has stopped? There is another c...

World of Britannia

Denham, Richard / Trow, M J

World of Britannia forms the historical background to the Britannia trilogy. The arrival of Rome’s legions, first under Julius Caesar, then Aulius Plautius in the first century is well documented, but the end of Roman rule in Britain remains forever in shadow, ‘illuminated’ only by...

Maxwell's Movie

Trow, M J

Ask any teacher what they dread most and they will say, to a man - or woman: 'school trips'. Unusually, Peter Maxwell is looking forward to this one, and with good reason - it is to his spiritual home, the Museum of the Moving Image. Sadly, the flu virus is no respecter of persons and so he must sta...

Maxwell's War

Trow, M J

Peter Maxwell is delighted when an old college friend asks him to be the historical adviser on a film being made on the coast near Leighford. Dreams of becoming the next Spielberg soon founder when he discovers that the world of film is pretty much the same as the world of education - full of incomp...

Lestrade and the Guardian Angel

Trow, M J

Knee deep in murder, in his forty-third year. Sholto Lestrade wouldn't have it any other way. The first victim in a series of bizarre killings is a Captain of the Life Guards, who is found in the Thames at Shadwell Stair, with a war medal wedged between his teeth. Lestrade's next summons is to th...

Brigade

Trow, M J

There is a new broom at Scotland Yard: Assistant Commissioner Nimrod Frost. His first 'little job' for Lestrade is to investigate the reported appearance of a lion in Cornwall, a savager of sheep and frightener of men; hardly a task for an Inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department. Having...

Maxwell's House

Trow, M J

Peter Maxwell is on holiday when the dreadful thing happens - one of his Sixth Form, one of Maxwell's Own, is found dead in a derelict house in Leighford. The kids don't call him 'Mad Max' for nothing - he doesn't just get mad, he gets even, and he needs justice for Jenny. The police of course hav...

Maxwell's Flame

Trow, M J

Peter Maxwell may be a dinosaur to his colleagues and a crazy enigma to his students - although most of them think an enigma is one of those mad Australian hedgehogs that lay eggs. But even he was young once and he is thrilled and slightly disturbed to meet his first serious love from his Cambridge...

Maxwell's Curse

Trow, M J

Maxwell's Millennium is not quite like other people's - for a start, it is a year later. After much quibbling with the maths department, everyone calls it an honourable draw and he celebrates as only he can: with his cat, his model soldiers, and his Southern Comfort. A knock on the door could be J...

Maxwell's Reunion

Trow, M J

Unbelievable as it seems to all the Old Boys, Maxwell's school is about to be turned into a conference centre - Halliards is to be no more. Some of his schoolfellows can't let the moment pass and so they gather together, the Year of Mind Your Own Business to say goodbye for ever. But some of the g...

Lestrade and the Kiss of Horus

Trow, M J

'And death shall come on soft wings to him that touches the tomb of the Pharaoh.' The wings that retired Superintendent Lestrade comes on are those of a de Haviland Hercules. The archaeologist Howard Carter has made the discovery of the century in the Valley of the Kings but all around him, men are...

Maxwell's Ride

Trow, M J

Peter Maxwell can handle kids by the tens and dozens, but two nieces give him a little more pause. Thank goodness for Sylvia Matthews, who can always be relied upon to sweep up any waif, stray or relation into her welcoming arms. On a trip to a theme park, Maxwell's ride on the log flume is a litt...
