DS Jaswinder Singh is only just hanging on to his job when a piece of dull routine work in Dagenham, where a clue hangs tantalisingly in the air, turns into a race against time to catch a group of dangerous paedophiles.There are young lives at stake, and only Jazz and his crew DS Boomer, DC Ashiv Kumar and Mad Pete are daring enough to poke a stick into this hornet’s nest. Upon discovering that high-powered individuals, whose influence has made them untouchable, are involved with a paedophile ring, Jazz has his work cut out to hunt down these men that the government are trying to protect. As the murderous group are slowly uncovered, the detectives find themselves hunted by their own police force and MI5. Sugar and Spice follows Jazz as he fearlessly walks into trouble, careless for his crew’s wellbeing. This third book in ‘The Singhing Detective’ series uses dark humour to relieve the tension created by the dramatic climaxes and tells a story of hard work, loyalty and cunning. Inspired by the work of Agatha Christie, Robert Graves and Clive Cussler, M C Dutton’s topical novel will appeal to fans of her previous books, which have also been enjoyed by members of the police force.

Pride, prejudice, sense, sensibility, persuasion.... It is with great finesse and a healthy dose of humour that Jane Austen analysed the various situations through which her characters developed. For each of her stories, she invented a little world that she delicately sculpted in meticulous detail, exposing how the landed gentry of her era lived and behaved. What she could not have foreseen is that one day, several of the characters in her novels would meet and intervene where they were not expected... Let us take a moment to reassure the author that they will not escape the destiny that she imagined for them. It is important to note that the true creator of this little world was and remains Jane Austen. From Longbourn to Pemberly is therefore nothing more than a simple tribute (yet another) to this collection of work that was the source of endless hours of joy to the person who took great pleasure in writing this book.At the start of this story, we find ourselves in Hertfordshire in 1810, and we are following the uncertainties of life in Longbourn. That is, we are preoccupied by the fact that when one has, as does Mrs. Bennet, five daughters to be married, who, as it where, have no dowry, there is good reason to make this one's obsession. And this is the case for Mrs. Bennet, as it is for plenty of other mothers for whom competition is fierce, the marriage market being one of the most competitive there is. The story opens in the midst of a melodrama: a new tenant has moved into the area. Naturally, he is rich, charming and single. He has even accepted an invitation to the ball that is about to take place. As the stakes are high, we can imagine the degree of speculation and strategies being plotted by many of Meryton's women. It is at precisely this moment that our story begins.However, it is important to point out that in stories such as this, the arrival of strangers, particularly if they are rich and single, is not without consequence on the fate of the women concerned. We will thus follow, closely and from afar, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia Bennet, as well as several other characters who cross their paths and who put in their tuppence worth regarding the daily lives of civilised England.
