  A police inspector is drawn outside of his jurisdiction into the puzzling cold case of a missing girl, in this crime thriller by the author of Dead Cold. 
   
  When DCI Liam Bennet receives an unexpected message from Lorraine, his ex-partner, he hopes that she wants to reconnect with Joe, their ten-year-old son. But all she wants is his help. She’s part of a small film crew investigating a cold case in her home village of Lampton and she wants Bennet to access police files. He wants no part of it. But when Joe learns his mother has been back in touch, he orders his father to find her. 
   
  Bennet takes time off work for what he thinks will be a quick trip to a tiny Peak District village. He’s got no idea that he’s about to be drawn into an obsessive hunt. In Lampton, the locals think he’s investigating the missing girl cold case and want him gone. It looks like the film crew also hit the same wall of silence. But why is there no evidence they ever left the village? Did something happen to the film crew? Is it connected to a missing young girl? And just how many of the locals know more than they’re saying? When a grim discovery is made in a local lake, Bennet finds himself in a race against time. It’s not his case, not his jurisdiction, but he’s determined to uncover the truth . . .  
   
  Cold Blood is the perfect read for fans of authors like K.L. Slater, Robert Bryndza and Angela Marsons.

  Dope, duplicity, and violence fill this gasser of a novel from a protégé of William S. Burroughs  Set in the scorched cityscape of the Reagan-era Lower East Side of Manhattan, The Lotus Crew is Stewart Meyer’s harrowing yet humorous tale of loyalty and betrayal in the face of heroin addiction. Two street junkies, the introverted Alvira and the gregarious Tommy, team up to spark a street-retailing crew pushing the best heroin in town. In the abandoned buildings and back alleys of an Alphabet City that is as dangerous as the Wild West, the stamp of the Triad crew on a glassine bag of dope means it’s a smoker. The duo is wildly successful until someone counterfeits the Triad seal and triggers a reaction from Tommy that leads to violence—and to a rude awakening for Alvira.

  The Brotherhood of the Seven Kings

  "THAT a secret society, based upon the lines of similar institutions so notorious on the Continent during the last century, could ever have existed in the London of our day may seem impossible. Such a society, however, not only did exist, but through the instrumentality of a woman of unparalleled capacity and genius, obtained a firm footing. A century ago the Brotherhood of the Seven Kings was a name hardly whispered without horror and fear in Italy, and now, by the fascinations and influence of one woman, it began to accomplish fresh deeds of unparalleled daring and subtlety in London. By the wide extent of its scientific resources, and the impregnable secrecy of its organisations, it threatened to become a formidable menace to society, as well as a source of serious anxiety to the authorities of the law." (excerpt from The Brotherhood of the Seven Kings)
