Beschreibung

Chris Hilton went to Havana in the early 2000s to escape the drudgery of everyday life in England—and, boy, did he escape it.  
 
Suddenly he found himself mixed up with a variety of gangland chancers, some Cuban, one British, all living on the edge of legality. There was always a risk of their money-making schemes getting rumbled by the police but that’s what made it so compelling: the chance, the risk. Office life this wasn’t. 
 
And then there was Jamilia—a refugee from rural poverty, who’d come to the big city as a teenager, and been rescued from the streets by an unnerving family of small-time criminals.  
 
“A little crazy is good,” Jamilia tells Chris—and a little crazy they become, living hard, loving hard and putting back a deal of Cuban rum. 
 
But how long can craziness last? And what happens when good fortune turns to bad?

    Edgar Wallace was one of the most prolific British authors of the 20th Century and yet his work is now little known, apart from perhaps his work on the story of King Kong in 1933. 
    “The Ringer” is a wonderful example of his work. Set in a 1920s London where the fog cloaked streets echo to the rumours that a ruthless and fiendishly clever assassin has returned to reek vengeance on his enemies. He is a man who takes on ever changing personas, so much so that some suspect he may even infiltrate the law itself! 
    Head Stories Audio presents Simon Hester’s stylish narration of this classic murder mystery. With original music.

    Strike first, or strike out . . . 
    Dr. Autumn Trent hasn’t even finished the paperwork from her first official case as a federal agent before she and the rest of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit are called to Washington, DC to investigate a series of home invasions. The six victims have very little in common other than they’re all wealthy couples brutally slayed just hours before hosting a dinner party. Who targeted them, and why? 
    Most importantly...who’s next? 
    As the team joins forces with DC’s Violent Crimes Unit to decipher a pattern behind the murders, there’s more on Autumn’s mind than just the investigation. Aside from her personal life being in tatters, Autumn’s best friend is still haunted by the trauma she suffered at the hands of her younger brother, and tension is mounting between Autumn and Chris Parker, a fellow agent with an ax to grind. 
    Autumn can’t think about any of that right now because a vicious predator is hungry for blood. She and her team are in a race against time. Can they stop the madness before the killer strikes again? 
    Autumn’s Strike, the seventh book in Mary Stone’s Autumn Trent Series, is an adrenaline-laced psychological thriller that will make you think twice before opening your door.

With her lawyer boyfriend Craig in tow, Siobhan travels to Minneapolis to endure small talk with the extended O’Brien clan and chow down on some seriously delicious turkey and dressing. Everything’s swell until her sister-in-law Gwen tells her about her brother Sven's frequent late-night meetings with his co-workers. Since Siobhan’s next case is just a ferry ride from their house in Washington state, she asks for Siobhan’s help.

Hired by Phillip Ahn, a Korean artificial intelligence genius with his own personal island in the Pacific Northwest, Siobhan enters the strange, sequestered world of the uber rich, where Ahn, his wife, his two ex-wives, and his five children all live under the same gilded roof.

And could it be possible that Sven’s troubles are somehow linked to Ahn’s? As Siobhan digs into these dangerous mysteries, she learns that family secrets have some very Deep Roots.

    When reporter Rebecca Connolly gets a tip that suspected murderer Roddie Drummond will be returning to the island of Stoirm, she smells a story. Though never convicted in the death of his girlfriend Mhairi fifteen years earlier, Drummond is still guilty in the eyes of many islanders, and his return for his mother's funeral is sure to stir up old resentments, hatreds, possibly even violence. Rebecca has another reason for going to Stoirm. Her own father came from there, but he never went back, and he always refused to speak of it or say what drove him away. 
     
     
                                                               
    Defying her editor, Rebecca joins forces with local photographer Chazz Wymark to dig into the mystery surrounding Mhairi's death and her unexplained last words, "Thunder Bay"—the secluded spot on the west coast of the island where, according to local lore, the souls of the dead set off into the afterlife. When a string of violent events erupts across the island, Rebecca discovers the power of secrets, and she must decide what to bury, and what to bring into the light. 
     
     
      
    Longlisted for Bloody Scotland's McIlvanney Prize for best crime book of the year, Thunder Bay has been hailed as "Immersive, compelling . . . [with a] jaw-dropping climax" (Neil Broadfoot, author of the MacGregor and Drummond thrillers).
