  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.

  It starts out with a body – the stench of a body, to be more precise. Ross may have an idea why the man is dead in his flat, but he’s not telling anyone. 
  London, 2045. The police are struggling to identify the dead man, but despite all the technology at their fingertips the man remains a mystery. That's until an outbreak of a deadly virus provides a crucial link to a touring Singapore e-sports team and a motley collection of small-time cybercriminals. 
  The SimCavalier, aka Cameron Silvera, wants to enjoy her romantic getaway with Ben, but clues to a Paris data theft are coming thick and fast. Her team has its hands full dealing with an escalating torrent of online attacks, and the fallout from a global data breach has hit their clients hard. Cameron starts to connect the dots as underground markets are flooded with stolen files. 
  Everything points to a single cybercrime syndicate controlling a wave of thefts, and the mysterious Yasmin the Admin who calls the shots. Ross thinks he’s found the people involved, but it may be too late. Cameron’s cover is blown and her home is attacked. The syndicate is hunting down the SimCavalier who has thwarted their plans once too often. Can she stop the cybercriminals and their hired thugs before they strike at the heart of her family? 
  "Insidious vision of the day after tomorrow.” 
  "The near future recognisably imagined. Real suspense and tension."

  Daisy has seen horror before—but nothing like this. As the investigation deepens, so does her fear. Because every missing child reminds her of her own daughter, Lila. And the more she digs into Charlotte's disappearance, the more she's forced to confront the question she's spent years avoiding: 
   
  What if one day, it's Lila who vanishes? 
   
  Inspired by real events, The First Thread is a chilling psychological thriller about the monsters hiding in plain sight—and the parents who live in fear of hearing the words: your child is missing.
