THE LOCATION
Oxford is a city of two halves — town and gown. In the town, you have Cornmarket street full of shops and shoppers that could be found in any city in the country. But Oxford’s ‘dreaming spires’ are the real draw for the tourists, romantics and those with intellectual aspirations to wear the gowns of students and dons. In centuries-old quads, croquet can still be played on lawns as smooth as velvet. Here, ‘New’ College’s walls are actually over 500 years old, and Cotswold stone gleams in even the wateriest of winter sunlight. A city of bicycles, with undergraduates (and fellows) flapping about in faded, black gowns; the Martyrs’ Memorial, and fabled inns where the likes of J.R.R Tolkien sat and wrote about a Hobbit who lived in a hole in the ground. Everywhere you turn, you see history staring back at you. And of course there has always been murder!THE DETECTIVE
DI Hillary Greene
An attractive woman in her forties, Hillary Greene is a police officer of many years’ experience, and came up through the ranks. Consequently, she knows how the system works, and is fiercely loyal to the force without being blinkered to its faults. She is a long-standing friend of her immediate superior officer, ‘Mellow’ Mallow and enjoys a rather enigmatic relationship with the steely Superintendent Marcus Donleavy.

‘A chilling, twisting triumph. Past Lying is a classic mystery’ CHRIS WHITAKER
Edinburgh, haunted by the ghosts of its many writers, is also the cold case beat of DCI Karen Pirie. So she shouldn’t be surprised when an author’s manuscript appears to be a blueprint for an actual crime.
Karen can’t ignore the plot’s chilling similarities to the unsolved case of an Edinburgh University student who vanished from her own doorstep. The manuscript seems to be the key to unlocking what happened to Lara Hardie, but there’s a problem: the author died before he finished it.
As Karen digs deeper, she uncovers a spiralling game of betrayal and revenge, where lies are indistinguishable from the truth and with more than one unexpected twist . . .
The Queen of Crime Val McDermid is at the top of her game in her most gripping and fiendishly clever case yet.

My pet learned her place in public instead, blushing as she was bared, sobbing as she was spanked, and screaming as she was brought to one brutal, humiliating climax after another.
But she has so many more lessons to learn. Lessons more shameful than she can imagine.
She will plead for mercy as she is broken, but before long she will purr like a kitten.
Publisher’s Note: Pet includes spankings, rough sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, and strong D/s themes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

This is a collection of short and slightly insane stories that I have managed to create over these past few years.The stories range from comedy all the way to horror, and everything in between! Every story is littered with profanity, so be warned!
As ridiculous as most of the stories are, there is some truths behind each story of things I have experienced first hand, or through my peers – albeit slightly exaggerated!
Most of the stories are written in Scottish slang, specifically from the West Coast of Scotland, I just find that it adds to the humour.

Rebus: The Early Years: Knots And Crosses, Hide And Seek and Tooth And Nail
‘Ian Rankin is a genius’ Lee Child
Knots and Crosses
The very first Rebus novel from the No.1 bestselling author.
‘And in Edinburgh of all places. I mean, you never think of that sort of thing happening in Edinburgh, do you…?’
‘That sort of thing’ is the brutal abduction and murder of two young girls. And now a third is missing, presumably gone to the same sad end. Detective Sergeant John Rebus, smoking and drinking too much, his own young daughter spirited away south by his disenchanted wife, is one of many policemen hunting the killer.
And then the messages begin to arrive: knotted string and matchstick crosses – taunting Rebus with pieces of a puzzle only he can solve.
Hide and Seek
Inspector Rebus returns in the second novel from ‘Britain’s No.1 crime writer’ (DAILY MIRROR).
A junkie lies dead in an Edinburgh squat, spreadeagled, cross-like on the floor, between two burned-down candles, a five-pointed star daubed on the wall above.
Just another dead addict – until John Rebus begins to chip away at the indifference, treachery, deceit and sleaze that lurks behind the facade of the Edinburgh familiar to tourists.
Only Rebus seems to care about a death which looks more like a murder every day, about a seductive danger he can almost taste, appealing to the darkest corners of his mind…
Tooth and Nail
Rebus is back, this time on the tail of a serial killer known as the Wolfman…
They call him the Wolfman – because he takes a bite out of his victims and because they found the first victim in the East End’s lonely Wolf Street. Scotland Yard are anxious to find the killer and Inspector Rebus is drafted in to help. But his Scotland Yard opposite number, George Flight, isn’t happy at yet more interference, and Rebus finds himself dealing with racial prejudice as well as the predations of a violent maniac.
When Rebus is offered a serial killer profile of the Wolfman by an attractive female psychologist, it’s too good an opportunity to miss. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack.

Riley Rochester Investigates Vols 1 – 3: Victorian Crime Mysteries
Death of a Debutante In 1870s London, Scotland Yard’s famous Detective Department is still in its infancy. Lord Riley Rochester, younger son of a marquess, is one of its first detective inspectors.
When a debutante is murdered in the home of Lord Ashton, Riley’s vengeful superior hands him the investigation, hoping to see him fail. As Riley and his sergeant, Jack Salter, delve into the circumstances surrounding Emily Ferguson’s death, it quickly becomes apparent that his own class expect him to exonerate its members from all blame. But the murder was committed at a society event, and Riley’s conscience won’t allow him to ignore the evidence that points to one of the guests—or hosts—being the killer.
Everyone has something to hide and tempers fray as a heatwave holds London in its sweltering grasp. When a second death occurs, Riley fears he may be incapable of preventing a terrible miscarriage of justice. Will he and Jack manage to uncover the true identity of the killer without endangering those whom Riley holds most dear…
Death of a Courtesan Detective Inspector Rochester and his sergeant, Jack Salter, are called to a high-end brothel to investigate the murder of one of its inhabitants. Her throat has been cut from after the customers had left for the night and the doors had been locked, and no one admits to hearing a thing.
As Riley and Jack delve into the beautiful young victim’s background and the reasons for her fall into prostitution, an increasing number of suspects with compelling reasons for wanting her dead emerge. Riley is astounded to discover that his nemesis, Chief Inspector Danforth, is one of the brothel’s regular visitors. He was there on the night of the murder, spent an hour alone with the victim and must be viewed as a suspect. Riley could be forgiven for revelling in Danforth’s downfall after all the insults he has suffered at the chief inspector’s hands, but his concern is for the reputation of the Detective Department and he does all he can to shield Danforth from public derision.
Unsurprised by the depths of depravity some men willingly sink to in order to find gratification, Riley is unprepared for the damage that could be done to the reputation of his own family if he doesn’t get to the truth. But at what cost to his personal ambitions…
Death of a Prosecutor Inspector Riley Rochester’s latest case strikes close to home. When his friend, notable barrister Sir Robert Glover, is stabbed to death outside his chambers, there are far too many suspects. Sir Robert’s family, those he worked with, shadowy figures from his past and every resentful criminal he ever prosecuted. What’s worse, the case is inextricably linked with a Scotland Yard colleague’s rather slipshod investigation, and Riley must be diplomatic in his dealings with his superiors and fellow officers if he’s to get to the truth.
Riley and his sergeant, Jack Salter, take to the task with their customary professionalism – although Riley’s judgement is clouded by nervous anticipation of Amelia Cosgrove’s response to his proposal of marriage and by the sudden decline in his nephew’s health. Knowing that if his nephew dies Riley will become his brother’s heir, he must come to terms with the fact that he will one day be the Marquess of Chichester whilst simultaneously trying to solve the hardest case of his career to date…Read more

ROBBERY WITH MALICE a gripping British legal thriller full of twists (A Chris Tyroll Mystery Book 2)
Just before the start of what should be an idyllic Christmas, two very different women manage to turn West Midland lawyer Chris Tyroll’s life upside down.One is his beautiful and no-nonsense fiancée, Sheila McKenna, who arrives unexpectedly at Heathrow.
To Chris’s delight, she announces that she has arranged a year’s sabbatical in England.
The other is the less shapely, but equally beguiling Granny Cassidy who persuades Chris to take on the appeal of Alan Walton; her son-in-law convicted in the infamous Belstone Lane Case.
As a man who has served twelve years for crimes he claims he didn’t commit, Walton has nothing left to lose and is dead set on an appeal. To Chris the case initially seems hopeless, but sensing that something doesn’t quite add up and with scores of his own to settle, he reluctantly accepts the job.
He and Sheila begin the daunting task of unearthing files that had been closed for eighteen years and searching for parties who frequently don’t want to be found.
But troublesome enmities are awakened and witnesses are silenced — sometimes by murder.
Repeated threats put the duo in danger until violent threats come to fruition and it becomes crystal clear that trouble awaits them if the case is probed any further.
Chris is no stranger to hassle from criminals and dubious policemen, but having narrowly escaped death only last year, images of masked judges and police flash through his mind at night and he wonders whether this time will be different.
Someone, somewhere, will stop at nothing to ensure the case remains permanently closed.
But who are these figures sent to stop Chris in the dark and why are they so concerned?
A complicated trail of lies and forgeries have to be unravelled before Chris and Sheila can even begin to understand the extent to which the law has been perverted to pursue a private revenge…
‘Robbery for Malice’ is a gripping legal thriller, perfect for fans of John Grisham.

When my past catches up with me, will Royal agree to protect me and the son I kept hidden from him?My life changed the night my abusive boyfriend traded me to a biker to pay off his gambling debt. But it wasn’t all terrible because Royal, the biker, turned out to be nothing like the outlaw who had been mistreating me for years. He refused to keep me against my will and even gave me a bundle of cash so I could be free to leave.
And I did, but not before experiencing a night of pure pleasure with my rescuer.

Only later did I realize that I had left with more than a broken body and shattered spirit—but with a secret in my womb.
For five years, I managed to keep my son safe, but my ex had not stopped hunting me. He grew more menacing and powerful, and he eventually tracked me down. Now, there is only one person I can turn to for protection: Royal.
But can he forgive me for leaving and save me once more?
Or will the truth about the child I kept from him ruin any chance of reconciliation?

Sakharov the Bear (Michael Gresham Legal Thrillers)
Two CIA field operators obtain a bill of lading from an arms supplier in Moscow. Tracing the origin and destination of the weapons there is reason to believe a massive arms shipment has come into the U.S. through the Port of Long Beach. While their investigation proceeds, the CIA operatives are arrested in Russia and put on trial for stealing state secrets and murder. Michael Gresham appears in Moscow to defend them, but the trial turns into a kangaroo court of Russian justice. Corruption and undercover deceit threaten to put the Americans in front of a Russian firing squad.
The jury trial that follows is probably Michael’s strangest case ever. People die and people disappear, secrets are stolen, and confessions are made, but…is any of this based on truth and reality? Or is everything a wall of disinformation meant to throw off the Americans and stymie all attempts at justice in the Russian court? Watch from your front row seat as Michael takes on the KGB only to find the judge sending him to jail because he fought back in court. Everything is at risk here, as we look in on the American President, the NSA, the CIA, and DoD while the story accelerates to its exciting and shocking climax.
