    About this ebook

    This mini-series of three short mysteries introduces ex-soldier turned private detective, Mark Kent, embroiled in a web of international business deals and family relationships where people do whatever it takes for money and success.
    Along the way Kent struggles to adjust to civilian life and with feelings of alienation in a changing social landscape where he meets the losers of financial power and the new owners of wealth.

    Gentlemen’s Agreement
    The search for a missing property dealer leads to a wealthy Russian at the centre of a murky international network where only the toughest survive...

    Indebted
    Threats from a young schemer force a wealthy businessman scared of losing his reputation and family into taking drastic action...

    The Inheritance
    A son and husband, plagued by the memory of his nagging wife and harangued by his doting mother, ventures into shady deals and ends up frightened for his life...
