About this book

"A twenty-nine-year-old man lives alone in his Glasgow flat. The telephone rings; a casual conversation, but behind this a job offer. The clues are there if you know to look for them. He is an expert. A loner. Freelance. Another job is another job, but what if this organization wants more? A meeting at a club. An offer. A target: Lewis Winter, a necessary sacrifice that will be only the first step in an all-out war between crime syndicates the likes of which hasn't been seen for decades. It's easy to kill a man. It's hard to kill a man well. People who do it well know this. People who do it badly find out the hard way. The hard way has consequences" --

Matt Hilton

PI Tess Grey and her partner Nicolas 'Po' Villere have been hired by Margaret Norris to find her granddaughter, Jasmine Reed, who has been missing for sixteen days. But if Tess is to have any chance of finding Jazz, she needs to know the truth about the young woman's troubled past. What is it that Margaret Norris isn't telling her? Tess and Po aren't the only ones looking for Jazz. With shady local businessman Daryl Bruin and his henchman John Trojak also on her trail, as well as a mysterious - and violent - stranger, Tess prays, for Jasmine's sake, that she and Po find her first. But it's only when Tess uncovers a link to several other missing girls that she begins to make headway in the investigation - and finds herself in a desperate race against time to track down Jazz before it's too late.

The Nightmare Place

Steve Mosby

Sometimes, there's a thin line between love and hate. Or at least that's one theory for DI Zoe Dolan, who's been tracking the Creeper--a stalker who's been breaking into women's homes and attacking them. But the Creeper's violence is escalating and there's no pattern, no clue as to how he's getting in, and no clue as to who's next--until Jane Webster gets a call to the helpline where she volunteers. It's meant to be a confidential service and Jane is torn: it could be a hoax, but the soft voice at the end of the line has the ring of truth about it.
