About KISS OF THE DEATH ADDERThird novel in the Noir Intelligence Series Herr Rafael Blosch was about to reveal unknown details regarding the enigmatic Quer when he was fatally bitten by a death adder that had crawled up through a dank, discoloured cavity in the floor of his sweltering cell in the Desert Springs Interrogation Facility. The rapacious Quer, with its roots in the olden Gallic Celtic period, had modern day tentacles reaching into international financial institutions including the European Union. All but one member of the Quer had been captured with Herr Blosch and assumed to be still in safe custody in the same interrogation facility. But with their subsequent assassinations, the mission for Alexandra Belliveau and Paul Bernard, agents of the European Union Intelligence Unit, was changed from capturing or killing the one final elusive member of the Quer to keeping him alive, at all costs.

About ASSASSIN IN MY BEDFourth novel in the Noir Intelligence Series Alicia Dupuis could not comprehend why she had become a target for assassination and, more puzzling, who had ordered the hit. She was acutely aware that in the duplicitous currency of security and intelligence, nothing exists without context.

Such were the defining characteristics of the arcane game -- with its intoxicating charm and deceptive addiction -- that she had walked away from forever, or so she had thought.

About GUNPOWDER TREASON AND PLOTFifth novel in the Noir Intelligence Series In November of 1978, Constable Olivia Daniels and her trainer Constable Stan Polanski are dispatched to investigate a suspicious shooting in a Nova Scotia barn. Within minutes of arrival, they are ordered to turn the investigation over to RCMP Security Service, but not before Olivia stealthily photographs the crime scene with her own camera. There certainly seems to be something 'untoward underfoot'. Their careers are immediately altered as are their personal lives. In the ensuing decades, innocent voices are silenced, incriminating evidence concealed, internal corruption suspected. Then, a chance meeting in an airport lounge triggers a cascade of revelations and events that threaten to bring down highly-connected spies, with potential global repercussions.
