Wycliffe and the Three-Toed Pussy: A young woman has been shot, and her left shoe and stocking taken. Superintendent Wycliffe's task is complicated by the discovery of clues in the form of crossword puzzles left by the victim.

Wycliffe and How to Kill a Cat: A well-to-do girl is strangled in a seedy hotel by the docks, which raises more questions that answers. Why was a thousand pounds hidden near her? And who was trying to hide her identity?

Wycliffe and the Guilt Edged Alibi: When the body of a beautiful young socialite is pulled out of a river, the discovery divides the small community. Wycliffe picks his way through the clues, and finds himself on the trail of a psychotic killer.

Wycliffe and Death in a Salubrious Place: After a brutal murder, the villagers turn against the only stranger in their midst: a famous pop star. Beneath the surface of the community, Wycliffe uncovers a violent undercurrent of fear and guilt.

Wycliffe and Death in Stanley Street: When a prostitute is found strangled in sordid Stanley Street, things aren't as straightforward as they seem. It will take an arson attack and a second murder before Wycliffe can solve the case.
