As the Crow flies
""As The Crow Flies" is the saga of Charlie Trumper whom, after his grandfather's death, takes over running of his fruit cart in the streets of London during the first few years of the 20th century. The book follows his progress from the small cart, to owning his first shop after his service in World War 1, and his further quest to fulfil his dream of owning the "biggest barrow in the world". However, it is not an easy process and there are many obstacles and people who want to see his dream squashed, especially a determined, wealthy lady who can use her money to stop his goals. It also follows the events of his family life, meeting his wife and having a family. The story starts in 1900 and goes until 1970, capturing many difficult periods of the last century. "

A Matter of Honour (Brand New)
"An unemployed ex-military man inherits a sealed letter in his father's will. It is an old letter that his father, at the insistence of his wife, had never opened. His father's letter to him instructed him that he was only to open the letter if a matter of family honour came up. This excellent book takes the reader over many countries in Europe as foreign agents try to take his inheritance from him. The item in question is worth far more than monetary value. This book could have been given a sub-title of "Chase" as there is a great one here. For anyone who likes a good book with a chase in it, this is one of the best. In the book the protagonist and the antagonist share the spotlight between right and wrong equally while an unknown protagonist is only briefly but effectively seen. A highly recommended read."

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less (Brand New)
"With a deviousness born of long practice, Harvey Metcalfe, a Boston based self-made guru of deceit, stays behind the scenes and runs a stock scam involving some bogus petroleum shares at the London Stock Exchange. After the scam folds, Harvey happily goes away a million dollars richer and leaves behind four stupified men, the unwitting principal buyers, teetering on the edge of financial ruin.
Stephen Bradley, a visiting American professor at Oxford, chooses to get even rather than get mad and brings together the other three investors comprising of Harley Street's Dr. Robin Oakley, gallery owner Jean-Pierre Lamanns and Lord James Brigsley. They decide to turn the tables on Harvey. Combining their individual abilities and expertise, they each come up a scheme to relieve Harvey of the exact amount he robbed them of. "
