Squeaky Clean
Summary
One of the most important attributes of a prospective candidate for the United States presidency is that of being clean - not to have any dirt in your background, present or past, which an eager muckraker can dig up. Senator William S. Gaullicauder appeared to fit the bill perfectly in this respect. With a beautiful, talented wife, three grown-up children all making their way in the world, and a skilful and devoted campaign team, he seemed to have everything going for him. But then a skeleton came rattling out of an English cupboard, threatening the senator’s squeaky clean reputation. The story had to be suppressed, and fast. But competing interests were involved, and violence and murder would ensue.

Submariner
Summary
Lieutenant Mike Nicholson is operating out of Malta. Captaining the submarine Ursa, he's part of the fleet deputed to disrupt the flow of war supplies from Italian ports to Rommel's Afrika Korps.
Although Ursa is small, under armed and frustratingly slow, she succeeds, on her 17th Mediterranean cruise, in sinking a German tank-transporter.
That triumph puts Mike at the top of the league - he has now sunk more tonnage than any of his contemporaries. Promotion to Lieutenant-Commander, at the age of 28, is now on the cards. All he has to do is adhere to two rules: to stay alive and to keep his nose clean.

Last Nocturne
Summary
What could make a successful, happily married man shoot himself? What could make a young artist on the brink of fame throw himself from a window to his death? These are the questions that are faced by Chief Inspector Lamb and his sergeant, Cogan. Neither victim left a note behind, and it appears that nothing untoward had occurred in the weeks preceding their deaths. But something must have led them to take such drastic action, and Lamb intends to find out what it was. Highly evocative of the bustling streets of London and Vienna in the early 20th century, Last Nocturne is an intriguing mystery of passion, secrets and lies.
