Synopsis
"Cleverly plotted...the story moves along at an enjoyably brisk pace." Susanna Yager, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH A Fizz & Buchanan Mystery Murray Kinston has served three years for molesting his daughter. He now claims he was framed and his only hope of getting her back is an old friend, solicitor Tam Buchanan. In Tam's view the friendship ended the day Murray was convicted, but his new assistant has other ideas. When Buchanan first met "Fizz", he was fooled by her innocent appearance, convinced she would be unable to stand the pace of his busy Edinburgh office. But her cherubic looks belie the reality - soon to be a law student, she's bright and single-minded with a talent for making people talk. Tam finds himself helping Fizz to dig into Murray's past and she is soon convinced she knows who set him up - but then a development permanently rules out her suspect and she begins to wonder if her confidence in his innocence is entirely justified.

From the Publisher
When lawyer Tam Buchanan first encounters "Fizz," his heart sinks. The young woman with the guileless expression sitting outside his Legal Advice office looks too young to stand the pace as his assistant. But Fizz's innocent appearance belies the reality. Soon to be a mature student of Law, she's very bright, utterly single-minded--and has a rare talent for making people talk. People like Murray Kingston, who Tam, to his horror, finds ensconced in Fizz's office late one morning. Murray's desperate plea that he was framed has persuaded Fizz, and somehow Tam finds himself digging into the past. Soon Fizz is convinced she knows who set Murray up--but then there's a development that permanently rules out her suspect. And Fizz begins to wonder if her confidence in Murray's innocence is entirely justified . . . Set against a backdrop of busy Edinburgh streets and the Scottish Borders countryside, Payment Deferred is great fun, combining wit, unresolved romantic tension, and neat plotting.
From the Author
This being the first book in the Fizz and Buchanan series, for which I'm currently writing Book Ten, Payment Deferred has been much in demand since it went out of print eight years ago. Although each book stands alone, many fans of the series want to know how Fizz came into Buchanan's previously tranquil life and began, systematically, arranging it to suit herself.
