H. R. F. Keating "Bribery, Corruption Also (Inspector Ghote Mystery)"
Macmillan 1999 033374568X / 9780333745687 Hardcover Very Good
"First Edition, tight binding, light creasing and minor chipping to Dust Jacket, remainder mark() This much-loved series about a Bombay police inspector has survived the opinion of some readers that the Peter Sellers-ish idiom of the hero is a bit patronizing. The reason is perhaps the solid embattled decency of Keating's Inspector Ghote--his occasional failures to get things quite right and his dignity and diligence give the books a charm that outweighs the faded joke of his fractured English. Here he is, as occasionally before, a fish out of water--his Bengali wife has inherited a house and small fortune in Calcutta, and he is faced with the awful prospect of leaving his hometown for good. And, of course, there are dirty doings involved--the lawyer who Mrs. Ghote's late uncle trusted is pursuing agendas of his own, and, wherever they turn in this strange town, they are liable to find themselves deceived and betrayed. They wander around Calcutta, seeing its sights and meeting ID: mon0000114649"

H. R. F. Keating "Rules, Regs and Rotten Eggs (Harriet Martens Mysteries)"
Minotaur Books 2008 0312375336 / 9780312375331 Hardcover New
"Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens resolves to resign after the new Assistant Chief Constable at the head of the CID makes her feel inferior in her job. However, her thoughts of resignation are abruptly interrupted when the pro-hunting politician Robert Roughouse suspiciously collapses during one of his vehement speeches at an antihunting demonstration. Sensing that someone has deliberately attempted to murder Roughouse, and seeing an opportunity to prove her worth to the ACC, Detective Martens determinately takes charge of the investigation. Immersed in thoughts about what could possibly lie behind the attempt at assassination, Detective Martens decides to interview Roughouse in the hospital. However, rather than aiding in her enquiry, her visit serves only to confuse things further: Roughouse has been moved during the night to the privately owned Masterton Clinic, and is not accepting visitors. What could lie behind the strange series of events surrounding the Rougho... ID: mon0000119400"

H.R.F. Keating A Detective in Love
Macmillan 2001 033390723X / 9780333907238 Hardcover Very Good
"'() British author H.R.F. Keating has long been recognized for his willingness to experiment with the conventions of detective fiction. A number of his recent novels, for instance, have addressed the motives and lifestyles of his sleuths as much as they have crimes. He continues that pattern with A Detective in Love, in which Harriet Martens--the so-called Hard Detective--is undone by her passion for a colleague with whom she probes the slaying of curvaceous teenage tennis star Bubbles Xingara. The ''Brit with a Hit,'' as Bubbles's American fans know her, has been found on her Leven Vale estate, stabbed through the throat. Due to this victim's prominence and the shorthandedness of the local police, Detective Superintendent Martens is seconded from adjacent Birchester to take charge of the case. Her best suspect may be a ''shambling mess of a man'' given to exposing himself. Other likely murderers include Bubbles's secretary, a once-wealthy classmate involved with the decedent's ste'''' ID: mon0000084041"
