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 âShanghai Shadowâ has arrived in England, and is determined to exact retribution on those she believes are responsible for her fatherâs 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 itâs a case of kill or be killed, itâs debatable which of them will come out of it alive.
Aidan and the others, however, wonât 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 1920âs series âThe Sandie Shaw Mysteriesâ, on the new rtgreen website.

The RTG mission in life is simple... to not be like everyone else!
âGoing Greenâ 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 donât look and read like everyone else, you donât sell books. Maybe thereâs some truth in that, but we simply donât do it. The RTG books have been described as a âbreath of fresh literary airâ, and, by those discovering us for the first time, âunexpectedly goodâ. We know many readers prefer the same-old same old, and thatâs fine.
Itâs 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. Itâs 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!
Â
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 â
Â
Never the same book twice.
If we canât think up a good story, it doesnât get written.
Â
The RTG brand is about exciting and twisty plots, a fast pace which doesnât 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
