Daisy: Not Your Average Super-sleuth! Book 8, The Shanghai Shadow
អំពីសៀវភៅជាសំឡេងនេះ
When Daisy is warned that someone very, very dangerous is gunning for her, in revenge for her father being mistakenly killed by MI6 some years ago, she realises there is no choice. Involving the family is far too dangerous. This time it has to be a solo mission…
Just after she and Aidan move back into the rebuilt cottage, Daisy gets a terrifying phone call from an ex-colleague. A Chinese lethal weapon codenamed the ‘Shanghai Shadow’ has arrived in England, and is determined to exact retribution on those she believes are responsible for her father’s death. And that includes Daisy.
The friend and colleague lives in a remote part of the Lake District, and Daisy realises they must join forces to stand any chance of defeating their enemy. She slips away secretly, leaving Aidan a vague note.
Aware it’s a case of kill or be killed, it’s debatable which of them will come out of it alive.
Aidan and the others, however, won’t lie down. They find out where Daisy has gone, and set off after her. But will they be in time?
Read all about Daisy, and our 1920’s series ‘The Sandie Shaw Mysteries’, on the new rtgreen website.
And enjoy!

The RTG mission in life is simple... to not be like everyone else!
‘Going Green’ has taken on a new meaning, in the book world at least. Whilst we applaud the original meaning (ebooks are a perfect way to promote that) we also try to present a different angle to it.
The tendency these days is that if you don’t look and read like everyone else, you don’t sell books. Maybe there’s some truth in that, but we simply don’t do it. The RTG books have been described as a ‘breath of fresh literary air’, and, by those discovering us for the first time, ‘unexpectedly good’. We know many readers prefer the same-old same old, and that’s fine.
It’s just not what you get from the RTG stable.
Those who know about such things said it would take five years to become a proficient author... I scoffed at that. They were wise. It took six. It’s one reason why even today we remodel existing books, and will always do so. Right from the early years the stories were always good, but were put into words less well than they could have been!
These days we have several series and a few standalones, the hit Daisy series most popular amongst them. In everything we do, the same provisos apply –
Never the same book twice.
If we can’t think up a good story, it doesn’t get written.
The RTG brand is about exciting and twisty plots, a fast pace which doesn’t waste words, and endearing (sometimes slightly crazy) characters. We can never please everyone, but it works for us, and, it seems, for those who appreciate our work.
Enjoy! Richard, Ann and the RTG crew
