BATHS, BANKS AND ROMAN INSURRECTION Detective Inspector Capstan investigates a murder at Bath's almost famous Basin Museum, a hapless armed robbery, the theft of ancient Roman weaponry and the answer to “one across” in the local newspaper. Meanwhile, the city is under threat of Roman invasion and their leader, Becky Philips, is taking no prisoners.

SWORDS, SHIPS AND GOLFING TIPS The second case for Inspector Capstan where he has to contend with a certain Mrs Cate Jakebury, a young university lecturer who's also a published author. But things don't go well when she decides to murder her husband, become a pirate, steal a famous 18th Century ship and then attack France, just to research her next novel.

The third case for Inspector Capstan in which he meets graduate Miss Jill Meadowbank, who seems to have a natural aptitude for both business and murder, and having discovered that the two complement each other remarkably well, sets her sights on European monopolisation of the industrial marketplace with the aid of a World War Two Lancaster bomber and a couple of Spitfires.

CANNABIS, CORNETTOS AND A GIRL WEARING STILETTOS The fourth case for Inspector Capstan where he comes up against the former Chief Inspector of the Solent Police, Morose, who's just started a forty-two year back-to-back life sentence for multiple murder. Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the Brexit Referendum, the British Prime Minister's looking for ways to increase his ever-declining popularity and turns to his niece, Claire Bridlestock, for help.
