A hilarious and whip-smart crime novel by the multimillion-copy bestselling author of the Horrible Histories. The perfect mystery for fans of Anthony Horowitz, Robert Thorogood and Ian Moore.
It is 1973 and the lives of four people are thrown into turmoil when sharing a carriage with an unremarkable little man with glasses, on the night train back to Newcastle.
By the end of the following day, one of them will be dead, one will turn blackmailer and another forced to commit a crime. And all of them will be under the astute observation of Aline, the local police officer with her own agenda to fulfil...
When the body count begins to rise, the question is: just how many murderers are out there... and who will be the next victim?
It’s their toughest case yet. And their best detective is missing.
Holmes, Margaret and Poe’s Brooklyn-based detective agency solves the
crimes no one else can. Or they did – until Holmes decided to leave the
business.
There is no time to waste as the team are called to a fresh NYPD crime
scene – and tasked with looking into the disappearance of six children.
Time is ticking as they work to unravel the mystery.
But they need Holmes.
If they're going to solve the crime of the century, first they must
save their friend.
Faced with his most disturbing case yet, Detective Roy Grace
tracks a serial killer in the television tie-in edition of You Are
Dead, by award-winning crime writer Peter James.
Now a major TV drama on Britbox, Grace stars John Simm as the titular
character.
A series of young women - all beautiful, all with long brown hair -
have been stalked and abducted. Each victim is found with a brand on
their body, a marking that reads 'U R Dead.' And some of their remains
are from thirty years ago.
When Logan Somerville is taken while on the phone to her fiancé, Grace
must find a lead, connect the cases and track down the killer before
they can strike again.
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, You Are Dead is
the eleventh thrilling title in the bestselling series.
East Berlin 1968: a city recovering from the horrors of WWII and where
the state police, the Stasi, cultivate a climate of paranoia and fear.
In a place where your closest friend or family member could be a state
informer, the threat of violence is ever present and no one knows this
more than damaged school teacher Sebastian Metzger. But something evil
and ancient is stalking Metzger from the shadows of war–torn
buildings–something which threatens the city and perhaps even the
future of humanity itself. Tiny Acts of Violence is a stunning horror
graphic novel from Martin Stiff, writer and illustrator of the
critically acclaimed and award-nominated The Absence. “It’s an erudite
indictment of social conditioning - - it goes beyond The Lives of
Others in its critique of the Stasi.” Pat Mills (Charley’s War,
Spacewarp) “Has the feel of a long-unearthed Hitchcock… A highly
effective thriller” Rob Williams (Old Haunts, Judge Dredd) “The
atmosphere of menace and state control-induced paranoia drops from it’s
pages.” Simon Furman (Transformers, To The Death) “Gorgeously moody,
graphically striking and brilliantly cinematic” Andrew Cartmel (The
Vinyl Detective, Doctor Who)
