An Inspector Wexford omnibus. Kissing The Gunner's Daughter: Inspector Wexford No. XV. May 13 is famously the unluckiest day of the year. Sergeant Caleb Martin of Kingsmarkham CID had no idea just how terminally unlucky it would prove, as he embarked upon his last day on earth...Ten months later, Wexford is confronted with a murder scene of horrific brutality. At first the bloodbath at Tancred House looks like the desperate work of a burglar panicked into murder. The sole survivor of the massacre, seventeen-year-old Daisy Flory, remembers the events imperfectly, and her confused account of the fatal night seems to confirm this theory. But more and more, Chief Inspector Wexford is convinced that the crime lies closer to home, and that it has sinister links to the murder of Sergeant Martin... Simisola: Inspector Wexford No. XVI. In the quiet Sussex country town of Kingsmarkham, the daughter of Nigerian physician Raymond Akande is missing. It's probably nothing, says Dr. Akande...But the days that follow prove the doctor dreadfully wrong. A young woman is found murdered - not Melanie, but the last person to have seen and spoken to her. A second woman's body is discovered - again, not Melanie's - but like her, young and black. A third woman turns up beaten and unconscious; like the others, she is of Nigerian origin. Wexford feels that Melanie is the victim of a serial killer with a horribly singular objective. Road Rage: Inspector Wexford No XVII. The woods outside of Kingsmarkham were lovely, dark, and deep. And much of them were about to vanish forever when the new highway cut through. While Chief Inspector Wexford privately despaired about the loss of his hiking grounds, local residents and outsiders were organising a massive protest. Some of them may have been desperate enough to kidnap five hostages and threaten to kill them. One hostage was Wexford's wife, Dora. Now Wexford and his team race to find the whereabouts of the kidnappers. Because someone has crossed from political belief to fanaticism, and as the first body is found, good intentions may become Wexford's personal path to hell.
