NEW RELEASE: THE GEORDIE MURDER by ROY LEWIS

We’re pleased to present the latest crime mystery from the sizzling talent that is Roy Lewis! Consistently well-reviewed and Amazon best-selling, he is definitely one to look out for. We're releasing it on a special offer at only 99p / 99c.

This addition to the excellent Eric Ward series is a nail-biting ride of exploitation, kidnap and murder.

Our favourite policeman-turned-lawyer finds himself investigating in a down-at-heel neigbourhood. Extortionist Sam Turiff is terrorizing the residents, but is so powerful that no one will testify against him. Then a young woman is kidnapped. Ward cannot let Turiff remain above the law a second longer.

Full of breathtaking realism, you’ll be on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Bon appetit!

THE DETECTIVE
Eric Ward is forced to retire from the police when he discovers he suffers from glaucoma but qualifies as a solicitor (lawyer) and sets up his practice on the Quayside in Newcastle, where he deals with the seamier side of the law. When he marries a wealthy young woman she attempts to persuade him to settle in Northumberland and work with wealthier clients but he stubbornly refuses to give up his criminal practice in Newcastle. Although she draws him into the world of high finance he still insists on continuing at the Quayside — which causes tensions within his marriage, and lead to fatal consequences.

MEET DETECTIVE SUSAN HOLDEN. SOLVING CRIMES IN THE OXFORD MOST PEOPLE NEVER SEE.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza, Mel Sherratt, Angela Marsons, Colin Dexter, or Ruth Rendell.

LOCATION
Susan Holden's Oxford is a place where old ladies live in fear of lycra-clad cyclists, where you’re more likely to tread in a dog turd than nick a professor, and where mental health is a big an issue, but of less interest than Oxford United’s latest football game. It’s also a city where death comes with brutal finality – whether from the top of a grotty multi-storey car park, a careless care home and or on a dark wet night as Oxford’s adult learners wend their way home from their evening classes.

PRAISE FOR PETER TICKLER

“From a few chapters in, the engaging pace of the action meant that I couldn't put the book down until the end.” Daily Information

"Peter's novel is a fantastic read. Its refreshing to read an Oxford book which tells a gripping story from the town point of view" - Maggie Hartford, Oxford Times

What a find!! - Could this take over the mantle from Morse? Quite possibly” Joseph

“Thoroughly enjoyable and very clever; the best read I've had for a very long time.” D.G

NEW RELEASE: THE DI MIKE NASH SERIES by BILL KITSON


We’re launching a fresh series today. Three breathtaking crime thrillers that will really get under your skin.

DON'T MISS OUT. GET ALL THREE FOR LESS THAN HALF PRICE TODAY!

Their hero, Mike Nash, is an utterly believable character who might just become your next favourite fictional detective. He’s a talented but womanizing policeman who has moved to rural North Yorkshire for a quieter life. Then two skeletons are found in a mountain lake. It proves to be only the beginning.

As the mystery unfolds, we watch Nash between our fingers and start to feel that he would’ve been better off staying in London...

If your nerves can handle spending the weekend with DI Nash, then do let us know what you think.

THE DI MIKE NASH SERIES by BILL KITSON

WHAT LIES BENEATH
(DI MIKE NASH SERIES BOOK 1)
Two skeletons are discovered in a lake. What little evidence there is points to an international criminal network involved in unspeakable evil.


VANISH WITHOUT TRACE
(DI MIKE NASH SERIES BOOK 2)
Sarah leaves a nightclub at 2 a.m. She is never seen again. Can Nash connect it to a string of old disappearance cases that left no bodies, witnesses or traces?






PLAYING WITH FIRE
(DI MIKE NASH SERIES BOOK 3)
Gary Vickers was sent to prison for killing his lover's daughter. He has done his time and is back home, but someone wants him dead. Perhaps the truth is more complicated than it seemed all those years ago.




BREATH-TAKING CRIME THRILLERS PERFECT FOR FANS OF IAN RANKIN, JD KIRK, DS BUTLER or PETER ROBINSON.

Please note, these books were originally published as "DEPTH OF DESPAIR"
"CHOSEN" and "MINDS THAT HATE".

LOCATION
The books are set in a fictional rural North Yorkshire with a scattering of market towns, many small villages and countryside that changes from high moorland with dramatic crags, mountain tarns and sparse vegetation, to the gentler, lush agricultural land lower down the valley that is bisected by the river Helm. The town of Helmsdale is where Mike Nash and his team are based, in a sub-division of their headquarters in the larger town of Netherdale. Further to the west is Bishopton, also part of the hub our detectives cover.

A new title in Pete Brassett's ever-popular Scottish murder mystery series


TURPITUDE by Pete Brassett

Featuring detectives Munro and Weston Kindle now for just 99p/99cents.

FREE with Kindle Unlimited.

Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2n8GOWk
Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2n9S3ho

Detectives Munro and West get more on their plate than they bargained for in this clever murder mystery

DI Charlie West is investigating a series of incompetent moped robberies when three fingers are found in a refuse site.

The investigation leads the team to a local restaurant, the university campus and, much to their chagrin, repeatedly to the municipal dump.

But when a man walks into a jeweller’s shop and calmly bashes in the head of the owner, they have a murder case on their hands.

Despite the discovery of a man in some discomfort due to missing the fingers on his hand, the investigation draws blanks.

It will take the wisdom of Munro, officially retired and recovering from heart bypass surgery, to see the connections between these places and events.

With plenty of red-herrings, twists and a satisfying ending, you’ll love the latest DI Munro mystery.
TURPITUDE is a standalone in a series of ten books featuring these detectives. They are set in and around Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland. The others in the series are all available FREE with Kindle Unlimited and in paperback.
