'A masterpiece of the genre' If you mess with the Glass family,
don't expect to live to tell the tale... What was meant to be a
straightforward jewellery heist goes horribly wrong, and the
thieves are forced to take a hostage to make their escape. But when
they discover their prisoner is the infamous Nina Glass - one of
the bosses of the most dangerous criminal dynasty in London - they
soon realise they have made a terrible mistake. Greed wins out over
good sense and the gang decide to make the best of a bad situation.
They send Luke Glass a ransom note, but they're messing with the
wrong people. The Glass family have other problems. The crooked cop
they have on their payroll - DCI Oliver Stanford - makes an
unwelcome discovery. The insider they had all presumed dead, may in
fact have survived, and still be feeding information to the police.
Under attack from all sides, and desperate to save his sister, Luke
has the reputation and survival of the Glass family in his hands -
is this the end of their empire? Three people can keep a secret -
if two of them are dead... Pacey, explosive and unforgettable,
Hustle is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and
Mandasue Heller. What readers say about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen
knows how to ramp up the action just when it's needed... he never
fails to give you hard-hitting thrillers that have moments that
will stay with you forever...' 'One of the very best thriller
writers I have ever read.' 'Owen Mullen writes a good story, he
really brings his characters to life and the endings are hard to
guess and never what you expected.'

When we bury our secrets, they always come back to haunt us...Their
rise was meteoric. Only a few years before, they had been three
friends from Glasgow, just trying to survive tough lives of danger
and dysfunction. But on one Hollywood evening in 1993, they were on
the world's biggest stage, accepting their Oscar in front of the
watching world. That night was the beginning of their careers. But
it was also the end of their friendship. Over the next twenty
years, Mirren McLean would become one of the most powerful writers
in the movie industry. Zander Leith would break box-office records
as cinema's most in-demand action hero. And Davie Johnson would
rake in millions as producer of some of the biggest shows on TV.
For two decades they didn't speak, driven apart by a horrific
secret. Until now... Their past is coming back to bite them, and
they have to decide whether to run, hide, or fight. Because when
you rise to the top, there's always someone who wants to see you
fall. An exciting new glam thriller for the fans of Taylor Jenkins
Reid, Liane Moriarty and Jo Spain Previously published in the UK as
TAKING HOLLYWOOD by Shari King. 'Brilliant, a white-knuckle ride of
a novel. Gripping and wildly glamorous' Tilly Bagshawe 'It's a real
slice of Hollywood and a brilliant read' Gerard Butler 'A glam,
edgy thriller, just the way I like them' Martina Cole 'Sex, scandal
and secrets galore' Jackie Collins 'A high-stakes thriller with a
dark, moving story at its core. Page-turning entertainment at its
very best' - TJ Emerson 'It's a thriller that's gritty, sexy and a
sensational page turner. You won't be able to put it down. I loved
it!' Lorraine Kelly 'I loved this Hollywood tale with deep Scottish
roots. It's dark, sinful, glittering and thrilling. An absolute
adventure from the very first page' Carmen Reid 'The mean streets
of Glasgow meet the glitz of Hollywood. A riveting read!' - Evie

A secluded hut in the middle of the woods. A double life that could be his downfall. The Secret Life of Mr Roos is the third Inspector Barbarotti novel from the 'Godfather of Swedish crime' (Metro), Häkan Nesser.
At fifty-nine years old, Valdemar Roos is tired of life. Working a job he hates, with a wife he barely talks to and two step-daughters he doesn't get on with, he doesn't have a lot to look forward to. Then, one day, a winning lottery ticket gives him an opportunity to start afresh.
Without telling a soul, he quits his job and buys a hut in the remote Swedish countryside. Every day he travels down to this man-made oasis, returning each evening to his unsuspecting wife. Life couldn't be better, until a young woman arrives in paradise . . .
Anna Gambowska is a twenty-one-year-old recovering drug addict. On the run from the rehab centre she hated and an abusive relationship she can't go back to, all Anna's prayers are answered when she comes across a seemingly vacant hut in the Swedish woodland. But it's not long before Anna's ex discovers her location, and an incident occurs that will mar the lives of both Anna and Valdemar forever.
Inspector Barbarotti doesn't take much interest when a woman reports her husband as missing. That is, until a dead body is found near the missing man's newly-bought hut, and Mr Roos becomes the number one murder suspect . . .
The Secret Life of Mr Roos is the third novel in Håkan Nesser’s Inspector Barbarotti quintet.
