Opis

'Double Foul' contains the two latest murder-mystery-solving challenges of the exceedingly wealthy Faison Quay VI. In allowing these stories to be told, Faison Quay granted unlimited access to confidential files, recordings, family, friends and staff involved in those events. 'The First Stone', the fourth in the Faison Quay mystery series, is based on the files of the world famous Faison Quay's exploits solving crimes, which directly or indirectly involve friends, it is unlike any of the other Faison Quay murder mystery series because of its' uniquely 'dark' edge. Faison Quay's friend, Detective Sergeant Gregor Ferguson, of the Toronto Police Service, is initially assigned to investigate the discovery of a man's body, which had been found in a City of Toronto garbage bin outside the Abbey of Perpetual Blessings. In spite of discovering the man had been missing for twenty-seven years, Gregor is ordered to stop the investigation when the Coroner announces the cause of death to be Cancer. Not satisfied that he must abandon the case, but unable to officially continue investigating, Gregor asks Faison Quay if he will continue. Faison agrees and immediately involves the full force of one of his many companies, Key Security International, to assist. Faison Quay quickly discovers a web of nefarious situations that only he can bring to bay. 'One By One', is the fifth in the Faison Quay mystery series. When a series of natural and accidental deaths causes the thirteenth Duke of Exeter to become a recluse and fear that he will be next to die. Each time he experiences chest pains, his doctor accuses him of imagining them or becoming a hypochondriac and his children are certain he is overreacting or, even worse, entering senility. The arrival of his dear friends the world-famous Faison Quay, VI, and Dr. Stark Redfearne affords His Grace the opportunity to confide his fears to his guests and enlist their help in proving him correct. Faison calls upon his wits and wealth to unravel the seemingly unrelated deaths and solve, before it is too late, why The Duke of Exeter's friends are dying One By One.
