A Small Matter of Importance is the second in the Richard Hopgood Investigations set in London in 1741.
When a Dutch merchant is found murdered in his warehouse, Thief-taker Richard Hopgood is engaged to find the perpetrator.
Hopgood first suspects a link with smuggling but then dark secrets begin to emerge and the more he and his associates, Ned and Kitty, delve, the darker those secrets become.
Where does he go to find the murderer?
Rye, in Sussex, is one such place.
A Small Matter of Importance is available from Amazon in ebook, paperback and hardback.
A River of Retribution by Clive Ridgway
Note the name change!
Set in Georgian London, 1741, we meet Richard Hopgood, Gentleman and thief-taker.
A body has been found washed up on the mudflats of the Thames and Hopgood is summoned to solve the crime. We follow our man as he travels through London, unravelling the threads of the crime along the way. A Rosary and a Jacobite connection may mean there is more to this than just plain murder!
Available at Amazon in both ebook and paperback.

“Fans of Terry Pratchett, Monty Python, and British humor in general will really enjoy this book.” Amazon reviewer.
“A couple of my favourite authors are Terry Pratchett and Tom Sharpe, and I’m a harsh critic when it comes to humorous tales – very few authors can get it as right as those two can. But as I read this book, I gleefully realised that I had found a new favourite author who easily slots in beside them as far as being able to write the funny, clever books that I love.” Amazon reviewer.
