'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

thieves are forced to take a hostage to make their escape. But when

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,

Jones.

she decides to go back in time just long enough to prevent Terry from
escaping through his open cat flap. A dangerous plan which backfires,
and she finds herself once more in Victorian London, where she meets
Jones, as well as Power, and the darkly mysterious Cain Templeton with
whom Ali has unfinished business from her previous visit to the past .

luxury condo, supportive friends and a cherished daughter.
The perfect life for the perfect couple.
Then Sam receives a call at his office. Bryden – working from home that
day - has failed to collect their daughter from daycare.
Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wife’s car in the
underground garage. Upstairs in their apartment her laptop is open on
the table, her phone nearby, her keys in their usual place in the hall.
Except Bryden is nowhere to be seen. It’s as if she just walked out.
How can she have disappeared from her own home? And did she even leave
the building at all?
With every minute that passes – and as questions swirl around their
community – Bryden and Sam’s past seems a little less perfect, their
luxury condo less safe, their friends, neighbours and relatives no
longer quite so reliable . . .
