The Bexley Files: Volume One

Retirement was meant to be quiet. But in Rumford, silence can be deadly. After decades in the shadows of MI6, Harrison Bexley retreats to the sleepy Cornish village of Rumford in search of peace, long walks with his beagle Bella, and perhaps a decent pint. But when a local MP vanishes without trace, the villages idyllic façade quickly begins to crumble. Drawn into a mystery steeped in secrets, blackmail, and buried grudges, Harrison is reluctantly pulled back into the world he thought hed left behind. Partnering with sharp-witted Detective Inspector Millie Cooper, he must navigate small-town politics, gossip that travels faster than the broadband, and a suspiciously well-stocked herb garden. As the clues pile up-and the bodies begin to follow- Harrison realises this case might not be as local as it seems. Someone knows who he really is. And theyre counting on the past staying buried. This volume brings together the first two gripping mysteries in The Bexley Files series: a blend of classic whodunit, spy craft, and darkly comic charm. Because in Rumford, nothing stays quiet for long.
