Cover-Up Story
1988
Nashville's Bart and The Cousins, in England on a road trip, have a chart-topping song. Unfortunately Bart also has an indictment back in the USA over an underage groupie. Keeping that hot news out of the London papers is a job for Doug Perkins, of the PR firm of Perkins and Tate. Doug soon finds that you can take the boy out of the country...but he's still going to run after jailbait. And when Doug thinks that things can't get worse, secrets about love and money start emerging faster than sad notes from the band's toothless harmonica player. What's really going on among Bart and the Cousins is a shocker...and even a spin doctor can't cover-up its deadly consequences. Instead Doug may have to turn from PR to PI...and figure out who committed murder.

Tourists are for Trapping
1989
Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey...And Ye Olde Homicide Larkin's Luxury Tours number 79 is a traveler's nightmare. The problems had started in Zurich, Switzerland when one of the group died under mysterious circumstances. Now the remaining tour members have landed in London, tight-lipped, fearful, and ready to ask for their money back. It's up to Doug Perkins, of the PR firm of Perkins and Tate, to restore their spirits. Naturally, for the restoration of spirits, he arranges a pub crawl, and with the help of his cat Pandora, he's jollying them back into being happy campers...at the best hotels of course. Then foul play strikes again. Now, Doug, assisted by Pandora's feline ability to smell a rat, needs to find out which tourist hides a preference for bed, breakfast, and murder...

In the Teeth of Adversity
1990
Paws for Murder... The man who threw his cat at his dentist... Doug Perkins, his partner Gerry and their cat, Pandora, have one job to spin gaffes into gold. But this cozy little London PR agency—a better environment for Pandora than profits—is about to get involved in a disastous affaire dentaire.. Endicott Zayle, dentist to the rich and famous—as well as to Doug and Gerry—has a problem with royal proportions. He just killed a beautiful women with an experimental anesthetic. Or did he? By the time Doug arrives on the scene, the corpse is up and walking around—and someone else is dead instead. With Endicott losing his grip, and a line of women all claiming personal interest in the deceased, scandal is afoot. And so is a second dose of murder. For Doug, Perry and Pandora, making this mess look good will mean sorting through an old man's madness, a young man's foolishness, and a tooth-and-nail case of cat fighting—no holds barred...
