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.

INTRODUCING MAGGIE BIRD

IN A RIVETING NEW SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Maggie Bird is many things. A chicken farmer. A good neighbour. A seemingly average retiree living in the seaside town of Purity. She's also a darned good rifle shot. And she never talks about her past.

But when an unidentified body is left on Maggie's driveway, she knows it's a calling card from old times. It's been fifteen years since the failed mission that ended her career as a spy, and cost her far more than her job.

Step forward the 'Martini Club' - Maggie's silver-haired book group (to anyone who asks), and a cohort of former spies behind closed doors. With the help of her old friends - and always one step ahead of the persistent local cop - Maggie might still be able to save the life she's built.

IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE TO RETIRE . . . UNTIL THEY FIND YOU.

Martinis, makeup …. and murder?

It’s 1950 and Loretta Darling is living the California dream. She’s a make-up artist to the stars, dancing till dawn at fancy parties and tanning on palm tree lined beaches.

But Tinseltown backlots are filled with monsters and Loretta finds herself up-close-and-personal with one of the worst.

Big mistake. Huge.

LA has picked on the wrong girl and they’re about to discover there’s much more than lipstick lurking in her beauty case.

Hollywood may be Loretta’s dream, but she's straight out of their nightmares.
