About steve higgs
When Steve Higgs wrote his debut novel, Paranormal Nonsense, he was a captain in the British Army. He would like to pretend that he had one of those careers that must be blacked out and generally denied by the government, and that he has to change his name and move constantly because he is still on the watch list in several countries. In truth, though, he started out as a mechanic - not like Jason Statham in the film by that name, sneaking around as a hitman, but more like one of those sleazy guys who charges a fortune and keeps your car for a week even though the only thing you went in for was a squeaky door hinge.
At school, he was largely disinterested in all subjects except creative writing, for which he won his first prize at the age of ten. However, calling it the first prize he won suggests that there were other prizes, which is not the case. Awards may yet come, but in the meantime, he enjoys writing mystery and thriller novels and claims to have more than a hundred books forming a restless queue in his mind because they are desperate to be written.
Now retired from the military, he lives in southeast England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he'll ever leave, the beer is just too good.

Books By steve higgs
I have a thing with werewolves, which is to say that I hate them. Of course, it’s the 21st century, so my vampire assistant, Indigo, likens my bias to a form of racism, and when we come across one being hunted for no good reason other than the same prejudice I held, I feel no choice but to offer my protection.
Yet even as I say the words, I can’t help but wonder if my decision won’t work out to be a lot dumber than it sounds, and all too soon the very danger I’m trying to protect an innocent from comes knocking on my door.
I might be doing the right thing, but I know it’s going to cost me. I just have no idea how much. When I find out … well, let’s just say it was more than I could ever have imagined and now I’m going to shove the fight they wanted right down their throats.
… and his fireside spooky ghost story is too good not to investigate.
Patricia expects to figure this one out before happy hour arrives, but when the sun goes down and her client goes missing, the game gets downright scary.
Are there ghosts on this island? Has the client been snatched by vengeful spirits?
The locals certainly thinks so and they seem to know why.
Facing an unknown adversary, and the very real possibility that they trying to catch perpetrators who died hundreds of years ago, Patricia and her team need help. This kind of mystery calls for a specialist, so it’s a good thing Patricia knows one.
I wonder who that could be?
When the local goddess of cake is found impaled with her own palette knife, the victim’s husband is found holding the murder weapon. It’s an open and shut case …
… until he calls Patricia Fisher that is.
With a surprising new assistant in tow, your favourite middle-aged sleuth has all the help she will need, but this case is a tough one, for everyone she suspects instantly becomes the next victim.
With the village fete a week away, cooks are revving up to win the coveted best cake prize, especially now that the favourite is in the morgue. Can the killer really be one of the lovely old ladies?
With president of the church council, old rival Angelica Howard-Box, stirring up trouble, Patricia has more than enough on her plate, and she’ll have to solve this fast because her own cook, Mrs Pam Ellis might be next!

A reunion with my coven-leader ex-wife is a bad idea.
It’s a shame I don’t get a say in the matter.
I haven’t seen Loren in years … decades even, but here she is, begging for my help and I never could say no.
A conflict is brewing. Ancient families vie for power as a matriarch’s life force dwindles and at least some of them are not going to play fair.
To stop the war and save my ex-wife’s position will take all the skill I possess, not least because I’m going up against demons and they play for keeps. In the end though, the hardest part of this might just be dealing with my feelings for a woman I just never got over.
What’s worse than one dead body? Two, right?
Wrong.
It’s not so much the number of bodies that Patricia needs to worry about, it’s how far up the mystery meter they score, and this latest case is a doozey.
Confused by the clues, Patricia and team must work against the clock to discover the truth. It’s not so simple as following a breadcrumb trail of clues though and when the body count continues to climb … well, can anyone figure out what is going on?
An ape on the loose, a suspiciously empty glass tank in a storage room, and someone working very hard in the background to derail Patricia’s efforts.
Could this be Patricia’s toughest case yet?
The stakes have never been higher and if she doesn’t keep her head, she might lose it all.
“There just isn’t anyone writing cozy mystery like this. I’m not sure there ever has been. Steve Higgs is the master of fast-paced mystery thrills!”
An apparent suicide, a missing woman, a sunken treasure ship worth billions, and suspicious behaviour from almost everyone she meets … well, that might be a lot to take for some people.
For Patricia Fisher, it’s just Thursday.
She’s in Rio on the trail of an altogether different mystery, however it’s not long before Patricia questions if the two cases might not be intertwined.

If so, why was there a man onboard the Aurelia pretending to be the professor?

So, when a mysterious stowaway is found murdered in the bowels of the ship, it falls firmly into her lap to work out not only who he is, but who killed him.
To a backdrop of petty thefts, con artists targeting the rich and famous on board, and her own romance with the captain, the dead body leads to a surprising discovery and a word one should utter with care …
Treasure.
Thrown into a swirling maelstrom of deadly adventure, fifty-something Patricia is going to have her sleuthing skills tested to the maximum.

You’re going to want to sleep with the light on.
The paranormal? It’s all nonsense, but proving it might get them killed.
What started as a missing person case goes south fast when a body marked with pagan symbols is found in the woods.

As they glimpse the truth, and her friends start to go missing, Patricia realises she has come too far to stop now …
