Fixed Odds
A fast-paced Scottish legal thriller featuring a defence lawyer, a missing masterpiece, and two cases that refuse to play fair. Sometimes when the odds are stacked, they just need a little shove. Robbie Munro has problems. A long-time client is dead, a priceless painting has vanished, and the people who want it back are not known for their patience. At the same time, a world-famous snooker champion is in court facing match-fixing charges, with the evidence looking painfully convincing. Both cases promise serious money if Robbie delivers. He just has to win a trial that has no defence and recover a painting he doesn’t legally own. With a second baby on the way and pressure building from every direction, Robbie starts cutting corners, making deals, and asking fewer questions than he should. Because this time, playing it straight might not pay. And losing is no longer an option. Fixed Odds is Book 10 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Best Defence Series: ?

Saltwater
For fans of Michelle Paver and Sarah Waters, the second in a quartet of exquisitely haunting ghost stories set in the wilds of Scotland. The Isle of Stroma, 1896. Tom Torrance has been sent to oversee the completion of a new lighthouse, which will guide ships through one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the United Kingdom. The construction so far has been plagued by difficulties, giving rise to superstitious whisperings amongst the men, but Tom is a man of sense and science. He will not be cowed by stories of hauntings and bad omens. Yet Tom is unprepared for the conditions on the island: the isolation and delirium of the endless summer nights. He soon learns that the real dangers on the island have nothing to do with the wild waves. There are some problems that science cannot answer, and some threats so ancient and strange, that nothing can keep them at bay.

Phantom At The Feast
Police stations are outdated, and AI’s make more efficient detectives, or so says a UK Home Office determined to make cuts. When the sole witness in a trafficking case is discovered brutally murdered, a brass horseshoe forced between his teeth, Detective Sergeant Rex King is summoned back to London and into a labyrinth of memory, music, and political unrest. From The Clash’s ragged 1985 busking tour to the fractured legacy of the anti-nuclear movement, Rex follows threads that tug uncomfortably at his own history – echoes he can’t quite place, shadows that refuse to settle. When Rex’s boss, DCI 'Lollo' Lawrence, suddenly disappears, and long-buried papers from the Miners’ Strike surface, he must work alongside a sharp young detective, a seasoned former soul boy, and the National Crime Agency’s unsettlingly brilliant new AI. Yet the deeper he travels, the more he finds the investigation folding back on him: professional loyalties strained, personal relationships tested, and accusations from his undercover past threatening to unmake him. Two murders, one 'misper' and a force under fire – has former ‘spycop’ DS Rex King finally met his match?

Using the time away from the office to consider his future, and how this will impact on his family life, Tom is invited to attend a school reunion which he reluctantly agrees to. Coming face to face with people he hasn't seen in years leads to more than a reunion of old friendships. Some people find it hard to let go of the past while others foster long-held grudges. It isn't long before Tom finds old feuds rekindled and scores that aim to be settled... one way or another. Finding himself at the centre of a murder inquiry - only this time as a witness rather than an investigator - can he steer clear of the case or will temptation, and a search for the truth, be too much for him to ignore.

Mrazivý justičný triler inšpirovaný skutočnými udalosťami
Keď do advokátskej kancelárie Rocca Eberhardta vstúpi nenápadný Timo Krampe, tvrdí, že jeho priateľ Jörg zmizol a že dôvod môže otriasť celou spoločnosťou. Krátko nato súdny lekár Justus Jarmer potvrdí najhoršie: telo vytiahnuté z vody patrí Jörgovi. A všetko nasvedčuje vražde.
Timo a Jörg sa totiž chystali odhaliť desivú pravdu z minulosti. V rámci utajovaného sociálneho experimentu mali berlínske úrady ešte donedávna vedome zverovať deti do starostlivosti pedofilných pestúnov. Medzi obeťami boli aj oni dvaja.
Ľudia zodpovední za tento škandál dnes zastávajú vplyvné pozície a sú pripravení urobiť čokoľvek, aby pravda nikdy nevyšla najavo. Eberhardt a Jarmer sa púšťajú do vyšetrovania, ktoré odhaľuje temné zákutia systému – a ukazuje, že spravodlivosť môže byť niekedy len ilúziou.
Trinásty muž je druhou časťou pútavej kriminálnej série z berlínskeho justičného prostredia. Autori Florian Schwiecker, bývalý trestný právnik, a uznávaný súdny lekár Michael Tsokos prinášajú napínavý a autentický pohľad do zákulisia práva a forenzných vied – a odhaľujú temné zákutia ľudskej psychiky.

Stratená polovica
Dve ženy zmizli bez stopy. Polícia je bezradná, ich sestry sa však odmietajú vzdať.
Nicole Monroeová žije už sedem rokov v tieni jedinej noci – noci, keď jej staršia sestra Kasey zmizla bez stopy. Polícia prípad po čase odložila, no Nic sa s tým nedokáže zmieriť a plnohodnotne žiť. Uviazla v rodnom meste aj vo vlastnom živote, poznačená stratou, ktorú nikto nedokázal vysvetliť. Jedinou stopou v Kaseyinom prípade bola Jules Connorová, ďalšia mladá žena z okresu, ktorá zmizla rovnakým spôsobom o dva týždne skôr.
Nic si neželá nič iné, než pohnúť sa ďalej. Keď jej však do života vstúpi Julesina sestra Jenna, ponúkne jej niečo, čo už dlho necítila – nádej. Rozpúta sa strhujúci príbeh dvoch žien, ktoré urobia čokoľvek, aby našli svoje stratené polovice, aj keby to znamenalo zničiť všetko, čo doteraz poznali. Pátranie ich zavedie do temných zákutí malomesta aj vlastnej minulosti a odhalí, že niektoré tajomstvá majú cenu, ktorú možno nebudú pripravené zaplatiť.
Stratená polovica je mrazivý, emocionálne silný triler o sesterstve, vine a posadnutosti pravdou od Ashley Flowersovej, moderátorky jedného z celosvetovo najpočúvanejších true crime podcastov Crime Junkie.

Do živého vysielania vtrhol psychopat, zajal skupinku návštevníkov a spustil morbídnu hru: telefonuje náhodne zvoleným poslucháčom a žiada od nich heslo. Ak sa volaný ohlási vopred určeným heslom, únosca prepustí jedného rukojemníka. Ak nie, jedného zastrelí. Únosca chce pokračovať v hre tak dlho, kým do štúdia nepríde jeho snúbenica. Má to však háčik: jeho snúbenica je už niekoľko mesiacov úradne mŕtva. Policajná vyjednávačka Ira sa púšťa do beznádejného vyjednávania, ktoré bez dychu live počúvajú milióny rozhlasových poslucháčov...
