Sinossi

The highest stakes…
 
My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I’m his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.
 
Every kind of danger circles the velvet-covered table, but only one man makes me tremble.
 
A trailer park princess.
 
The son of a criminal king.
 
We don’t belong together, but I’m caught in a twisted game.
 
His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his cards, I know I’m going to lose more than my body. I’m going to lose everything.

    The only thing she was guilty of was trusting him... 
    All Jenny Clifton ever wanted was to be the perfect wife and mother.  
    Three years after her fairytale wedding to Michael and the birth of their baby boy, the shine has begun to fade. Money is tight, resentments simmer, and once-rare disagreements have turned into daily screaming matches. 
    Something has to change… and it does, the night Michael is killed in a brutal hit-and-run, dying in the street with a stranger holding his hand. 
    Devastated, Jenny clings to the person who shared Michael’s final moments—the quiet, attentive witness to the accident who seems to understand her grief. Their unlikely friendship becomes her lifeline. 
    But as Jenny uncovers the secrets Michael was hiding, she realises her perfect marriage was built on lies—and that the man she’s letting into her life now may be hiding dangerous secrets of his own… 
    A gripping, twist-filled psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping ending.  
    JA Andrews is the author of gripping, twisty psychological thrillers. He is a member of the Crime Writers Association.

    An ancient Scottish castle. 
    A storm setting in for Christmas. 
    A killer on the loose. 
    Investigating a suspicious death at ancient Dumfala castle on the remote Isle of Mull is not what DI Anna Vaughan had planned this Christmas. But when she receives the call on Christmas Eve, she is duty bound to make the treacherous trip to investigate. 
    But it soon becomes clear the estate's obsessive owner, Robert Fairlie, is more concerned with safeguarding his lucrative contract for a hit American TV show to be filmed at the castle than with the death of one of his employees. And as Anna turns to the locals for answers, she’s instead faced with an eclectic cast of suspects who seem no more welcoming than Fairlie himself… 
    Trapped on the estate and cut off from mainland by a fierce winter blizzard, Anna and local DS Lachlan McKay are left completely on their own to catch the killer and untangle the web of secrets that have shrouded this isolated community for years. The question is, can Anna uncover the truth before more people lose their lives? 
    Praise for the series: 
    'A fascinating page-turner featuring a well-drawn collection of characters set in a small Scottish community. The newly promoted inspector is sympathetic and smart, and the plot kept me fully engaged throughout. Highly recommended.' - T. A. Williams 
    'Daniel Sellers has pulled off that rare trick of peppering the glorious Argyll landscape with characters we’re sure we’ve known all of our lives. His writing is engaging, clever and quietly compelling. I can’t wait to read more of this series.' - Marion Todd 
    'Daniel Sellers writes with rare control and confidence — his prose is atmospheric, unsettling, and beautifully precise, turning The Knapdale Murders into a masterclass in tension, character, and slow-burn dread.' - John Nicholl 
    'I loved this book! The first in a new series, The Knapdale Murders is a gripping read. With a compelling central character, a strong sense of place and a denouement worthy of Christie herself, this is perfect for all crime fiction fans.' - Sheila Bugler 
    'This is my kind of crime thriller! A love a puzzle to solve and this book provided that. A knotty mystery, with prickly suspects and a murder victim who nobody liked. Cleverly written, an absorbing read that I whizzed through in a couple of days. Ready for the next one!' - Rona Halsall

    ‘Dark, twisty, gripping and dripping with authenticity…I loved it’ Peter James'An electrifying thriller' Woman's Own 
    PR guru Lola Lovett’s client has gone missing, but that’s not the problem. It’s the fact that he’s meant to be at home. Already dead. 
    But Lola hasn’t come this far in life to let an inconvenience like an undead actor stop her from getting what she wants, so she immediately sets about getting close to the investigation into his disappearance…and DCI Sue Fisher. 
    Sue’s been laying low ever since the Medford nail bar case, determined to focus on her grieving son Tom and moving on from the horrors they’ve faced, but the search for actor Sam Stevens throws up unexpected challenges. Because in the glitzy, glamorous world of showbiz it’s not a matter of discovering who might be keeping secrets, but rather, determining who is willing to kill to keep them…Praise for Natalie Tambini: 
    ‘An explosive thriller not for the faint-hearted' Woman's Own 
    ‘Secrets and lies on every page. Utterly absorbing' Best 
    ‘A brilliant thriller’ Bella 
    ‘We couldn’t put this down’ Crime Scene Magazine 
    ‘Creepy, shocking, addictive’ Tammy Cohen 
    In The Publicist, Natalie Tambini delves into the psychological complexities of family and marriage within the framework of a suspenseful thriller. The domestic fiction genre is given a fresh twist with the inclusion of divorce and its repercussions. 
    For fans of Carey Baldwin (Second Wives), Jane E. James (Before Us), Lauren North (My Word Against His), S. E. Lynes (Her Sister’s Secret), and Nikki Smith (They Had It Coming).

    When a parcel of priceless diamonds vanishes from a sealed safe, the only clue left behind is a single, damning piece of evidence: a bloody thumb-print. 
    In Monica Downey's gripping classic, The Red Thumb Mark, young Reuben Hornby faces certain imprisonment when the fingerprint experts at Scotland Yard definitively match the bloody mark to his own. With motive, opportunity, and infallible scientific evidence stacked against him, Reuben's only hope lies in the brilliant, unconventional mind of Dr. John Evelyn Thorndyke. 
    As a master of medical jurisprudence and forensic science, Dr. Thorndyke, alongside his loyal colleague Dr. Jervis, refuses to take the physical evidence at face value. Armed with microscopes, chemical analysis, and a relentless dedication to the truth, Thorndyke sets out to prove the impossible: that an irrefutable fingerprint might be the most masterful lie ever told. 
    Will science save an innocent man, or seal his doom? Step into the atmospheric streets of Edwardian London and join the ultimate game of cat and mouse in this pioneering tale of scientific detection!
