For that one day of the year, celebrated prayer houses will be packed to the rafters with Jewish worshippers and the results could prove to be devastating. The mastermind behind the attacks is a direct blood descendant of Adolf Hitler – his grandson, former Republican presidential candidate, John Franklin. Artfully manipulating a number of fanatical, Neo-Nazi para-military groups across the globe, Franklin is looking to fulfil his grandfather’s legacy and land a major blow against Jews located across the world.
But in reality, the attacks are nothing more than an ingenious smokescreen for a far more sinister plot, which if successful, could severely unbalance geo-politics in the Middle East, sparking a global war between the Superpowers.Chief Inspector Nicholas Vargas of The Buenos Aires Police Department and Troy Hembury, the Head of Internal Security for the White House combine forces with senior colleagues at the FBI and Mossad, in a race against time to try to uncover the truth behind “Operation Atonement” and thwart the plan, as the consequences of failure could be disastrous for world peace.

You Like It Darker
‘You like it darker? Fine, so do I’, writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life – both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel ‘the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind’, and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.
‘Two Talented Bastids’ explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In ‘Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream’, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In ‘Rattlesnakes’, a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance – with major strings attached. In ‘The Dreamers’, a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. ‘The Answer Man’ asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.
‘As classic as King’s novels are, his shorter fiction has been just as gripping over the years’ – USA Today
‘One of the great storytellers of our time’ – Guardian

Can Aumary reveal the guilty party before the murderer strikes again?Worldes Blis, a strange thirteenth-century song, provides the backdrop to the fourteenth novel in Susanna M. Newstead’s Savernake Medieval Murder Mystery Novel series.
Author Interview
1) How difficult is it to research settings for a Medieval Murder Mystery?
I’ve been doing it so long, I don’t really know. When I first started there was no web. Much of the history was a bit of a mystery even to experts. The manuscripts one might have needed were difficult to access but with the help of many people and institutions like libraries, I managed the investigation I needed. I’m still researching – it never ends. One has to play detective oneself never mind write about secrets and intrigue.
2) This is the fourteenth novel in your series. How do you keep the stories so fresh and exciting?
Ah, this is just practice I think. Clues have to be eked out and red herrings buried deep in the mystery. Pacing is very important and the investigation has to go on at the right speed, with little moments of humour to lift the intrigue.
3) Did you discover anything fascinating when researching this book?
Yes. All about Medieval scaffolding! Who knew exactly how the builders put together a castle? And the fact that some of that Medieval work is sometimes still there! I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

Mystery writers scheme like crazy on how to murder somebody. That’s what they do.
Now, one writer turns thinking into doing. With gusto.
Eight of the top mystery writers meet in a remote resort. Their mission: write a perfect mystery novel. They’d done it before with the #1 global smash-hit bestseller Dead Men Don’t Age. To kick it off, they invite Charlie North, retired columnist and now famous blogger, to be the opening night speaker.
The writers are cocksure about the financial return. Heck, the movie rights are already in the bag for big bucks. They just have to sit down and do what they do best: write about murder. But, then, one writer gets murdered. Then another. Charlie North and his buddy Ben Tucker jump in to investigate.
The mystery writers keep writing. And another body falls. Charlie and Ben think they have it all figured out, but these writers are a strange and crafty bunch. They specialize in thinking up how to kill somebody, covering tracks, and not getting caught.
It all comes clear, in a single room, and justice seems to be served. Ah, not so fast. There’s more.
If you’re in the mood for a quirky mystery novel that plunks humor and suspense into the same blender, put this book in your hands today.

Get it now.
WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT OTHER ‘WHO’S KILLING’ BOOKS…
“Looking for something to make you laugh? This is it. It captures the joy of aging and the camaraderie of men. The mystery was okay, the fun was in getting there.”
“This was one of the most enjoyable books I have read in ages. It is funny throughout but has really touched on real life. It has a great cast of characters that one would love to have as friends.”
“First of all, the main character is older and isn’t portrayed as A Superman. The anecdotes at the beginning of each chapter had me sharing most of them with my husband. And I must admit out of the literally thousands of mysteries I have read, none have ended this way.”
“If you’re a senior who often reminisces about your younger days, you’ll love this book. It’s not politically correct but an honest take on what life was like before the internet.”
“Must reading for us old guys. A fast paced, imaginative, and laugh-out-loud funny mystery. Lovable characters, especially Beach, the stray dog.”
“This book had me laughing several times while keeping me into the mystery going on. The old guys really won me over here. Enjoy!”
“I loved this book. Funny, irreverent and surprising twists make for a great read. As an officially old person, I can relate!”
“Honesty chapter 12, that was a gut buster for me. I laugh whenever I think about it.
You will love this book; it is a mystery but sometimes funny.”“What a great book to put first the older generation’s life history and challenges along with solving a mystery I am close to the main character’s age. I have not laughed so hard in a long time.”
“I was thinking of another book series to compare this to. The 1st that came to mind was the Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. Both series feature old people as protagonists. Both are fun to read. Both are mostly cozy mysteries. The one element I like better in Spoelstra’s series is that the main characters are American with American humor. This is not to swat at the British, not at all: the Old Guys Murder series is just more fun for me, as an American, to read. So there it is plain and simple: I’m reading not to make myself smarter, but for the fun of it all.”

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.
