A Dead Man In Trieste
Written by Michael Pearce
Copyright: 2004
The place is Trieste. The year is 1906. The Austrio-Hungarian Empire controls this turbulent city but their control is tenuous. Its secret police are everywhere. This is where Sandor Seymour is sent when the British Consul to that city goes missing. Did he have a love affair that went wrong? Did his unofficial business matters cause trouble? The possibilities are many as are the number of people who do not want Seymour to find the truth.

Written by Michael Pearce
Copyright: 2005
When the Second Secretary of the Embassy in Istanbul dies while trying to swim the Dardanelles Straits, it is a not a mystery what killed him - the bullet hole in the head shows that. Other questions remain, however. Why was he swimming such a strange route? Was he really trying to spy on Turkish ship activity? Sandor Seymour has his work cut out for him as the Foreign Office again calls on him to sort it all out.

A Dead Man In Athens
Written by Michael Pearce
Copyright: 2006
The place is Athens. The year is 1913. The dream of a united Greece free of the yoke of the Ottoman Empire is strong in the mind of the current Greek Prime Minister. Was the poisoning of the favorite cat of the former Turkish Sultan an opening act to drive the Turks out? Unlikely but with tensions so taut, it is enough to get the British Foreign Office to send Sandor Seymour there to find who did it before humans start dying.

A Dead Man In Tangier
Written by Michael Pearce
Copyright: 2007
The death of a Frenchman in Tangier would normally fall to the local police but since they answer to the British Consul and the Foreign Office wants to make sure there is no hint of scandal, Sandor Seymour is sent to that North African city to take charge of the case. This is a good thing to a lot of people because if things go wrong, he is expendable.

A Dead Man In Barcelona
Written by Michael Pearce
Copyright: 2008
A murder of a Spaniard in Barcelona in 1912 should not have been the interest of anyone in Britain, even if he had been killed in his jail cell. But the man was connected to illegal trade between Spain, Spanish Morocco, and Gilbraltar and the Spanish authorities are worried no one will trust or cooperate with anyone else. Someone impartial is needed so they ask Scotland Yard for assistance and they ask Special Branch who sends Sandor Seymour.
