Books Included in This Collection:
Murder on the Lusitania
September 1907. George Dillman boards the Lusitania’s maiden voyage undercover for Cunard to curb petty crimes, posing as a passenger. When the ship’s blueprints vanish and a body is found, he teams with first-class passenger Genevieve Masefield to untangle a dangerous web of secrets afloat. With the clock ticking and the sea as a silent witness, Dillman must reveal who killed, and why, before the voyage reaches New York.
Murder on the Mauretania
November 1907. Dillman and Genevieve sail on the Mauretania’s maiden voyage. Amid a raging storm, their undercover mission becomes a fight for life as a crew member is saved from the sea but a First Class passenger dies in suspicious circumstances. What appears to be misadventure hides a calculated murder linked to twelve tons of gold bullion transported from the Bank of England.
Murder on the Minnesota
New York, 1908. The detectives accept a break aboard the Minnesota, a freighter and passenger vessel bound for the Far East. They investigate possible smuggling, but their voyage turns grim when a fiery Catholic missionary is murdered, catalyzing a chain of crimes that shadows the crossing. As Dillman and Genevieve peel back the layers, they confront danger, religious tension, and a mystery that tests their partnership.
Murder on the Salsette
On the Salsette, two travelers pretend not to know each other, but their histories tangle with an elderly man whose claimed powers of deduction may have earthly roots. A young woman and her mother become entwined in trouble aboard, and the ship’s corridors hide alibis, secrets, and murder. Dillman and Masefield navigate a web of deception to uncover the truth.
Murder on the Oceanic
George Dillman and Genevieve Masefield serve as ship’s detectives aboard the Oceanic, charged with protecting an important passenger and valuable cargo. Nervousness runs high as a routine voyage becomes studded with threats and suspicious accidents. The pair pace the decks, piece together clues, and confront the dangerous motives that turn transatlantic travel into a perilous game of cat and mouse.
Murder on the Celtic
Continuing the Ocean Liner Mysteries, Murder on the Celtic sends Dillman and Masefield onto another Cunard liner to probe a new murder afloat.
