    O. Henry's short stories are well-known for their clever plots, wit and humanism. If you appreciate parable stories, O. Henry's works are the right choice for you. "After Twenty Years" tells about two different characters, two different philosophies and two different value systems. Bob is materialistic, he wants to get a lot of money and doesn't care how he gets it. Jimmy is conservative and wants a good and socially useful job, a home and a family. These different philosophies take them on different paths. After 20 years Jimmy has a good job, he likes his work and family. Bob has made a lot of money, but money has't really done him good. He is always on the run and he will end up in prison. Because of the masterly style and the great described characters, "After Twenty Years" is highly recommended for all ages.A SmartTouch Media production.

    Some secrets refuse to stay buried... 
When Alfie Hook settles down to eat his fish and chips by the Hunstanton seaside he hasn’t anticipated it is going to be his last meal. DS Ashley Knight and her Major Investigation Team are called to investigate and when they discover who Alfie is married to, they realise this case is not going to be straightforward. 
A second body is found in gruesome circumstances at the nearby Paradise Caravan Park, but the team struggle to connect the two victims. Even after hours of interviews with the residents, and many questionable stories, to the police's frustration, all their alibis check out. What are they concealing? 
As the bodies mount up and the leads get ever more complicated, Ashley and her rookie partner Hector Fade finally join the dots. But then it’s a race against time to stop the killer striking again… 
Bestselling Ross Greenwood is back with an unputdownable seaside thriller, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin and Peter James. 
What readers are saying about DS Ashley Knight and Hector Fade: 
‘On a par with Peter James. I thoroughly enjoyed Book 1 of this series. It was fast paced and well written with a good storyline.’ 
‘An absolute corker of a story, with many characters who will remain firmly in my mind for a long time. Loved it, didn’t guess the end, and can’t wait for book two. A massive five stars from me.’ 
‘I love this author’s work so the thought of a new series got me a tad excited. And I was right to be. Our new main characters are Ashley & Hector, & what a fabulous pair they are… A brilliant start to the series & if you haven’t read this author before, this is a great place to start. A fast paced police procedural with plenty of shocks. Fantastic.’ 
‘I LOVED this book and read way into the early hours to finish it! I was enthralled by the plot, finding the final pieces to the jigsaw of a complicated crime, linked to an event 30 years before… I felt like I really got to know DS Ashley Knight and her new partner, Hector Fade, who is on the Police graduate scheme.’ 
‘Keeps you guessing until the very end! Excellent new series from the author of DI Barton books. Does not disappoint.’ 
‘I very much enjoyed meeting Ashley Knight for the first time. This is great start to a new series and I am definitely looking forward to more.’
