Tess Darling is a ballsy, blonde TV producer - and inadvertent sleuth: Aided by her hunky (but hapless) cameraman Miller, Tess tracks down the truth whenever a shoot turns deadly...

Short story THE FLOOD sees Tess and Miller despatched through a vicious storm - to film the launch of a remote, celebrity spa hotel. When noxious owner Noah Dellow is found strangled in his study, they discover he was not so much a 'friend' to the stars as a blackmailer - the assembled guests are his latest victims. so which one of them is a killer? Duke's daughter Jessica Smythe - or her 'bad-boy' boyfriend Jacquil? Faded actor clive, or his tantrum-throwing, tantric wife? Surely it couldn't be Vanessa Farrow, the icy british theatre star? Or her hot-headed Hollywood husband, Vic?

With night falling - and flood waters rising - Tess and Miller are trapped: Can they find the killer - or will they wake up dead?

Fast-paced fun, THE FLOOD is a snappy introduction to messy, modern heroine Tess and her strapping sidekick Miller.
