The Santa Killer is coming to town...One night less than two weeks
before Christmas, a single mother is violently assaulted. It's a
brutal crime at the time of year when there should be goodwill to
all. When DI Barton begins his investigation, he's surprised to
find the victim is a woman with nothing to hide and no reason for
anyone to hurt her. A few days later, the mother of the woman
attacked rings the police station. Her granddaughter has drawn a
shocking picture. It seems she was looking out of the window when
her mother was attacked. And when her grandmother asks the young
girl who the person with the weapon is, she whispers two words. Bad
Santa. The rumours start spreading, and none of the city's women
feel safe - which one of them will be next? He's got a list. It's
quite precise. It won't matter even if you're nice. Ross Greenwood
is back with his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark
Billingham and Ian Rankin. Praise for Ross Greenwood: 'Ross
Greenwood is at the top of his game.' Owen Mullen 'Move over Rebus
and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime
investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A
rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the
pages until the final dramatic twist.' author Richard Burke 'Master
of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again
proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that
draw you right in and won't let go until you've reached the
shocking ending.' Caroline Vincent at Bitsaboutbooks blog 'Ross
Greenwood doesn't write cliches. What he has written here is a
fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's
spiced with a lot of humour.' author Kath Middleton

A shocking reveal threatens to unravel Detective Superintendent Roy
Grace's happy new life in the television tie-in edition of Love You
Dead, by award-winning crime author Peter James.
Now a major TV drama on Britbox, Grace stars John Simm as the titular
character.
Grace is newly married, having moved to a country cottage with Cleo and
their baby son. But his first, long-missing wife, now found, has left
Grace a surprise greater than he could have imagined.
Yet the police need Grace at work: an escaped murderer who left a
bullet in him is back, and a Black Widow is leaving an international
trail of corpses after bleeding them dry - in every sense. Now, she's
come to Brighton for her next wealthy target.
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Love You Dead
is the twelfth title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the
Brighton detective's investigations with Need You Dead and Dead If You
Don't.

looks just like Emma. With a serial killer on the loose and his
latest victim already in his control, can the police find Emma in
time? Or will Emma have to save herself? The Carmarthen Murders is
the first book in the dark, edge-of-your-seat Carmarthen Crime
thriller series set in the stunning West Wales countryside.

When Adam’s wife Wendy is murdered, he executes a series of vigilante killings and as a result is invited to join an organised covert operations unit, IA3, rather than face life in prison.
Given a new name and a new identity (and a faked death to boot) Adan adopts the identity of Bataleur and commences his new life as a trained and lethal crime fighter and assassin, working directly for the government. Alongside his new colleagues, he works to take down prominent political players when requested, targeting corrupt businessmen and politicians alike to maintain national security and restore apparent order.
Taking place in South Africa, Inside Out explores crime, corruption, gang culture and politics using multiple narratives and various newspaper clippings to paint a vivid and action-packed story of lawbreaking and violence that is well-concealed from society.
