  Sometimes the oldest secrets are the hardest ones to keep. 
   
  When retired police detective, Albert Smith, and his dog wander into a small town in the French mountains, no one expects the trouble they will uncover. 
   
  A body has been unearthed at a nearby archaeological dig and it’s clear no one was ever supposed to find it. The locals deny all knowledge; they have no idea who it could be, but there is something disturbing about how they all give the exact same answer. 
   
  And what of the archaeologists? What were they really looking for? It wasn’t the Stone Age settlement they claim to be after. Does everyone in this town have a secret they don’t want exposed? 
   
  Together with his trusted sidekick, Albert and Rex are going to get to the bottom of the mystery. 
   
  He could walk away, there’s nothing to make him investigate. But Albert has an old school way of thinking and when things don't add up he just cannot help but poke his nose in.

  1940: Weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk, Germany is poised to invade a near-defenseless Britain. To safeguard the Crown Jewels from the Nazis, Winston Churchill devises a daring gamble to have them shipped overseas. The priceless artifacts will be secretly removed from the Tower of London and driven north to Scotland by two operatives posing as a young married couple, to be taken from there to Canada. 
   
   
   
  Caitrin Colline—a Welsh coalminer's daughter and an ardent socialist—will play the wife of Lord Marlton, Hector Neville-Percy. A less likely couple is at first difficult to imagine. Yet Caitrin's bold, streetwise confidence and sharp wits complement Hector's social ease and connections, essential to a second part of their mission: uncovering Nazi sympathizers within the highest ranks of Britain's aristocracy. 
   
   
   
  Battling enemies within and without, Caitrin wonders if anyone in their circle can be trusted—even her partner. And when unexpected events catapult her into a life-or-death chase across the continent, the morale of a nation and the fate of Europe itself in the balance.

  Jane, Carly and Rose Savage are savage by name, savage by nature. 
  Having lost their mum too young, and with a bedridden father too ill to work, the sisters learnt early to stand on their own two feet. 
  The family's flat in the rough streets of Glasgow's Haghill is their fortress, but when Carly's ex-boyfriend Cole Alexander is released from prison, trouble soon comes knocking at their door. The Alexanders have beef with the Savages, so the girls call for back up in the shape of their uncle Eddie and his two gorgeous but dangerous sons, Harry and Dean. 
  As a turf war breaks out, the Savage sisters have choices to make. Stick to the straight and narrow or fight for what they deserve? And when the vicious girl gang Jane used to lead, the Unbeatable Bitches, are thrown into the mix, their minds might be made up for them. Because once a Savage always a Savage, and when the chips are down, there's no one more deadly than a Savage sister. 
  Bestseller Heather Atkinson is back with a brand-new series, perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers and Jessie Keane.
