Out of a Clear Blue Sky is my second novel and again features Sven Ffolkes solving a murder in the UK. In this prequal to Cornwall on the Rocks, Sven is called in by NATO to investigate a murder in an Oxfordshire village. The victim is John Howard, a Gulf War veteran, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver using Howard’s own car. The suspects are Digger, Tiger, Broadsword and Bird, members of a mission that Howard had lead into Iraq; Broadbent, the mission coordinator; Dalglish, Howard’s chauffeur; Shelly Jones, his housekeeper; Annabel, his daughter and an intruder lurking outside Howard’s house. Sven works with both the civilian and military police, all the time having to tread a careful path to avoid being blocked by vested interests.

Autobiographics
I was born in a West London suburb in 1949, the younger child of a Telephone Manager and a Schoolteacher. I attended a local grammar school and then went on to the University of Bristol, where I qualified with a BSc honours in Chemistry, before starting a career in the electroplating industry. From there came a move into the UK IT sector, where I have spent the majority of a working life, obtaining an MSc in Computer Science on the way. I still work in IT, now specialising in Transformational Outsourcing for a leading systems integrator. But that is probably not why you are reading my website. Writing as Grace Tremayne, I seek to combine my extensive industrial experience with devious plots, cynicism and a wicked sense of humour to provide my readers with all the clues that they need to solve the crimes whilst providing some amusing observations on life and business on the way.

Detective novels with a difference
If you enjoy solving a mystery then my novels are for you. I will not hide any information from you, so if you pick up all the clues and avoid the red herrings then you will be ready to announce the murderer, or is it murderers, before my detective. Good luck with your detecting and enjoy your reading.
Poetry
Yes, I write poetry as well as novels, but only when I feel stimulated to set down thoughts on a subject for which I have a deep passion. If you would like to read a sample of my poetry, then please click on the link Goona. Goona was our pet cat, who lived with us for six years before she died of cancer. As fellow fans will probably realise, she was named by an Arsenal supporter before we got her and would not answer to any other name. It is probably fortunate that I too am an Arsenal supporter.
She was the inspiration for Topsy, the cat in my first novel. If you are a cat lover and especially if you met her, then I know that you will understand what I have written and why I wrote it.
Shadow Mysteries
How do you fancy a evening with friends and a bit extra, specifically a murder or two, thrown in. Shadow Mysteries was where the novels of Grace Tremayne originated. So if you do not have the time or inclination to read the books why not try an evening's detecting. All the details that you need are available through the above link to Shadow Mysteries.
