The novels included here are:

The Man in the Queue: When an unknown, unidentifiable man is killed in a queue outside a London theatre, Inspector Alan Grant is called in to unravel the mystery. His search for the identities of both victim and murderer lead to the discovery of a tangled web of suspects and secrets and culminates in a breathless manhunt leading from London all the way to the Scottish highlands and back.

A Shilling for Candles: When the body of a young woman is washed up on a beach in Kent, she's believed to have accidentally drowned. But the presence of a button in her hair and signs of a struggle on her hands lead Inspector Alan Grant to believe she may have been murdered.

The Franchise Affair: In a quiet English village, Marion Sharpe and her mother, two seemingly ordinary women, find their lives upturned when a young girl accuses them of kidnapping and abuse. When even Inspector Alan Grant is baffled, the women enlist savvy barrister Robert Blair to help clear their names.

To Love and Be Wise: Grant investigates the baffling disappearance of a charismatic American photographer from a picturesque English village—and uncovers a web of secrets, lies, petty jealousies and hidden motives.

The Daughter of Time: In Tey's most enduringly popular story, a bed-ridden Alan Grant attempts to solve a five-hundred-year-old mystery – was Richard III really responsible for the deaths, the Princes in the Tower?

The Singing Sands: Inspector Alan Grant, suffering from stress and anxiety, takes leave from Scotland Yard and plans a tranquil holiday in the Scottish Highlands. But after stumbling over the body of a young man on the train and finding a cryptic poem scribbled in the margins of a newspaper, he finds himself drawn into an unofficial investigation. Who wrote the poem and what does it mean? Who was the passenger? And was his death accidental—or was it murder?

Josephine Tey (1896-1952) was a renowned author and one of the most celebrated figures in detective fiction. Tey initially pursued a career in theatre, writing plays before shifting her focus to novels, and her writing is characterised by psychological depth, strong character development, and a subversion of traditional crime fiction norms. Her most notable works include The Daughter of Time, Brat Farrar, and The Franchise Affair, and despite her relatively small output, her influence is significant, inspiring future generations of mystery writers.

In 2015, Val McDermid argued that Tey "cracked open the door" for later writers such as Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell to explore the darker side of humanity, creating a bridge between the Golden Age of Detective Fiction and contemporary crime novels.
