Callie is terrified of her mother. Rob digs holes in the backyard late at night, and tells disturbing stories about growing up on the ranch. Soon Callie begins to fear that only one of them will leave Sundial alive...

There are people who don't exist, people who live outside the realms of normal society. They keep us safe. We should never hear about their activities. If we do, something has gone terribly wrong. The Assets are one such covert organisation, a highly trained counter terrorist unit. An international force, tasked with hunting down and exterminating the enemies of the free world. However, they are still only human. No man is exempt from the pressures of combat. Anyone can break. Anyone can go Rogue.Now they must hunt one of their own.

In 'The Guardians' we follow the reactions of the British Government to the attacks in Paris on the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo and the Jewish supermarket. Their concern, of course, is of repeat attacks in Great Britain and, in particular, on the vulnerable junior Government ministers who do not have police protection. With each Government department anxious not to increase its spending, providing extra protection would be costly. It is decided to recruit recently-retired members of the armed forces, mainly with the rank of sergeant and with active front-line experience in Afghanistan. Fifty would be initially required, with a reserve of another fifty, all placed on a twelve-month contract that could be extended.

"While Quinn writes with spirit on weighty subjects like domestic abuse, polygamy and religious cults, her primary and most poignant theme seems to be female friendship."-New York Times Book Review "An absolutely thrilling novel. I devoured it over a weekend, unable to put it down. It's a clever and completely original take on a domestic thriller."-Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Silent Patient "Original, informative, suspenseful-the big three in a literary slam bang."-New York Journal of Books Blake's dead.

A Sparrow Falls is the thrilling third novel in the Courtneys series, continuing from When the Lion Feeds and The Sound of Thunder.

Dave Stubbs continues his employment as an assassin with the government on deniable operations. Unfortunately because of this, his marriage is starting to go down the pan. His boss, after considering all the options, decides to give him a six-month release from all contracts so that he can get his marriage back on tracks. Once the six months is up, and his home life is back on keel, he is asked to train a suitable replacement to do his job for when he is retired. Unfortunately this doesn't go to plan. Dave now returns to deniable operations with a vengeance and even becomes a soldier for a period of time. The word "Assassin" probably comes from the Arabic word 'Hashshashin', meaning hashish eaters. Assassins have been around for thousands of years and probably long before the first Crusade in 1080. They were once members of the Nizari (Shia Islam) sect of Ismaili Muslims and were militant fanatics reputed to use hashish (marijuana) before going on murder missions. This has not really been proved in any history book. So take this statement with a pinch of salt. Assassins have been responsible for the murders of: Julius Caesar, Thomas Beckett (the Archbishop of Canterbury), Lord Mountbatten, John F Kennedy and WPC Yvonne Fletcher, a police officer on duty outside the Libyan Embassy in London. And, many, many more influential people over the years. Assassination in law, is the premeditated murder of a person.
