  Murder, Mystery and Munitions. (Prequel to the Kirsty Campbell Mysteries) 
  Devil’s Porridge is set in 1917 during the First World War. It starts with a bang when the Silvertown Munitions Factory in the east end of London explodes. 
  East London, January 1917: 
  “He pulled her into his arms and kissed her long and hard before he strangled her. With a last glance at the fire, he turned and ran for the door to escape the inevitable explosion.” 
  Sixteen-year-old munitionette, Sally, witnesses the saboteur escaping from the explosion at Silvertown Munitions Factory. When their paths cross again, he knows she can identify him, and that he must kill again. 
  The Silvertown explosion sets off a lethal chain of events and the action moves to Gretna Munitions Factory on the border between England and Scotland. Kirsty Campbell, a policewoman in the newly set up women’s police service joins forces with a Belgian refugee working for MI5, and together they set out to protect Sally, a young munitionette who witnessed the aftermath of a murder at Silvertown. They become embroiled with saboteurs, Irish revolutionaries, a German spy, a killer without a conscience, and a plot to assassinate the king. As the body count rises, the stakes are higher than Kirsty could ever have imagined.

This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameIn THE KILLING GAME (Book #1), when a notorious serial killer escapes from a prison transport, it crosses the jurisdictions of the U.S. Marshals and the FBI’s BAU. The two departments are forced to come together on a new joint task force to hunt down the fugitive serial killer and bring him to justice. Alexa and her new partner, each territorial, don’t take well to each other. Between their tension and all the clues leading to dead ends and the bodies piling up on the killer’s spree, Alexa knows that she, up against a ticking clock, can’t afford to get this wrong. Especially when she realizes that she herself may be the next target. In THE KILLING TIDE (Book #2), with Alexa’s last case a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Two federal judges are murdered, and startling evidence points to the work of a serial killer with a vendetta. But the judges have tried and convicted hundreds of people over their long careers, and with the suspect list a mile long, Alexa is in the race of her life to find the killer before he kills another judge on his list. And when the next victim offers a shocking twist, it throws everything Alexa thought she knew into doubt. Is this truly a vendetta? Or is this killer far more diabolical than he seems?To find these diabolical killers, Alexa will have to do what she fears most—enter their twisted minds, before they can strike again.

  Now a Major Motion Picture starring Taron Egerton, Ana Sophia Heger, Rob Yang and John Carroll Lynch 
  A propulsive, gritty novel about a girl marked for death who must fight and steal to stay alive, learning from the most frightening man she knows—her father 
  Eleven-year-old Polly McClusky is shy, too old for the teddy bear she carries with her everywhere, when she is unexpectedly reunited with her father, Nate, fresh out of jail and driving a stolen car. He takes her from the front of her school into a world of robbery, violence, and the constant threat of death. And he does it to save her life. 
  Nate made dangerous enemies in prison—a gang called Aryan Steel has put out a bounty on his head, counting on its members on the outside to finish him off. They’ve already murdered his ex-wife, Polly’s mother. And Polly is their next target. 
  Nate and Polly’s lives soon become a series of narrow misses, of evading the bad guys and the police, of sleepless nights in motels. Out on the lam, Polly is forced to grow up early: with barely any time to mourn her mother, she must learn how to take a punch and pull off a drug-house heist. She finds herself transforming from a shy little girl into a true fighter. Nate, in turn, learns what it’s like to love fiercely and unconditionally—a love he’s never quite felt before. But can their powerful bond transcend the dangerous existence he’s carved out for them? Will they ever be able to live an honest life, free of fear? 
  She Rides Shotgun is a gripping and emotionally wrenching novel that upends even our most long-held expectations about heroes, villains, and victims. Nate takes Polly to save her life, but in the end it may very well be Polly who saves him.

  TEN DAYS. SEVEN DEADLY SINS. ZERO RI$K 
  When customer complaints on Christmas Eve about tenfold inflated bank balances herald not early gifts, nor a botched system upgrade, but the most sophisticated cyber attack in history, National Bank Chief Operating Officer Rob Tanner finds himself in the eye of a ‘Black Swan’ storm no one predicted, but anyone could have anticipated. Tanner enlists the help of brilliant American cyber security expert Ashley Markham, but the attacks only worsen. The only clue to the hacker’s intentions... cryptic daily emails, centred on Hieronymus Bosch’s medieval representation of the seven deadly sins. 
  With financial markets—and the very world as he knows it—on the brink of collapse, Tanner races against the clock to prevent unthinkable financial Armageddon, where money has no value, stock and bond prices are meaningless, and the economy is destroyed. Can he unravel the mystery of the hacker’s obsession with Bosch, sin and retribution before modern society returns to the dark ages?
