Inspector Zhang and the Island of the Dead

I have just published the latest Inspector Zhang short story - Inspector Zhang and the Island of the Dead.   I had great fun writing it, though I have been struggling with the flu for the past couple of days.  Even dosed up on Lemsip Max Cold and Flu tablets I was still able to work!


It's set on the island of Sentosa, which I've visited several times. It's full of fun places, including the Universal Studios theme park.   It's another locked room mystery, where Inspector Zhang is called to a murder scene where a doctor has been stabbed in a locked room.

The Inspector Zhang books are great fun to write but they are a real struggle as locked room mysteries are notoriously difficult to write. I have two plots which I have been struggling with for more than a year. I have great set-ups for the story, and even have the titles and covers, but I just can't come up with solutions to the crimes!

You can buy Inspector Zhang and the Island of the Dead for the Kindle in the UK - HERE

Inspector Zhang is the third Stephen Leather continuing character. I also have Dan "Spider" Shepherd and Jack Nightingale. So far I have published seven Spider short stories and one Nightingale short story. I am currently working on another Nightingale short and have a cracker of an idea for another Spider short!  I'll keep you posted!
