'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.'
The next thrilling adventure, all NEW from MJ Porter Icel is a lone

Warrior of Mercia. With King Ecgberht of Wessex defeated and
Londonium back under Mercian control, the Wessex invasion of Mercia
