About Multiple of Murder
Three 1940s cases for Detective Chief Inspector Philip Bryce.
The first two are set in 1949, and follow on from The Bedroom Window Murder, The Courthouse Murder, and The Felixstowe Murder.
The third is a ‘prequel’, going back to 1946, when Bryce – having returned to the police after army service – was a still a Detective Inspector, based in Whitechapel rather than Scotland Yard.
1. DEATH IN AN OFFICE KITCHEN
In the office kitchen of a London advertising agency, a man falls to the floor, dead. Natural causes are presumed – until evidence emerges showing this cannot be the case. Chief Inspector Bryce is assigned to expose the murderer.
2. DEATH IN THE PUBLIC BATHS
A body is found in the public bathhouse in St Marylebone. Bryce is tasked with discovering the identity of the victim, and his assailant. With Sergeant Haig’s help, the DCI sorts the facts from the lies.
3. DEATH ON A LONDON BUS
On the upper deck of an experimental London bus, a man is found dead. All of the passengers claim they saw and heard nothing. Inspector Bryce, together with colleagues from Leman Street police station, solves one of his earlier cases.

Learn More About The Author
Peter Zander-Howell (a pen name) lives with his wife in East Anglia, U.K. They have three children and four grandchildren.
Deciding to get out of the rat-race, Peter took very early retirement from his management role in a very large company. Then, far too young to retire completely and wanting to keep his mind occupied, he started a small and successful business. Twenty years later he sold that business, and has now embarked on a third career as an author.
During his first two careers, Peter served as a magistrate for thirty-four years.
His stories to date are all set in 1940s England, and are written in homage to the “Golden Age of Detective Fiction”. All feature Detective Chief Inspector Bryce. Each book stands alone.
