Family - might be the death of you...The Glass family business is
crime, and they're good at what they do. Vengeance took Luke Glass
behind bars - but now he's free and he's never going back. Luke
wants out of the gangster life - all he has to do is convince his
family to let him go. His brother holds the reins of the South
London underworld in his brutal hands - nobody tells Danny Glass no
and expects to live - not even DCI Oliver Stanford, bent copper and
one of the Met's rising stars. The way Danny sees it, his younger
brother and sister Nina owe him everything. The price he demands is
loyalty, and a war with their arch enemy gives him the leverage he
needs to tie Luke to the family once more. Luke can't see a way
out, until Danny commits a crime so terrible it can't be forgiven.
Love turns to hate when secrets are unearthed which pit brother
against brother. Left with no choice but to choose a side, Nina
holds the fate of the family in her hands. In the Glass family,
Owen Mullen has created a crime dynasty to rival the Richardsons
and the Krays. Heart-pounding, jaw-dropping with non-stop action,
Family is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and

When Private Investigator Charlie Cameron agrees to take on a cold
case, he is drawn back into Glasgow's dark underworld...Glasgow PI
Charlie Cameron knows Kim Rafferty is bad news the moment they
meet. Desperate people always spell trouble in his experience, and
Mrs Rafferty is as desperate as they come. What she is asking for
is insane and if he agrees to help the wife of the notorious
East-End gangster, the consequences for them both could be fatal.
Twenty-four hours later, another betrayed woman with a hopeless
case is pleading for Charlie's help. The PI is her only chance to
keep an innocent man from serving a prison sentence for murders he
didn't commit. Dennis Boyd is on the run, and as Charlie fights
against the clock to keep him out of jail, he crosses a line that
puts him on the wrong side of the law and pits him against his old
friend and ally, DS Andrew Geddes. As the body count grows, and the
defence for his client falls apart bit by bit, Charlie refuses to
accept the inevitable. But everyone has their limits - even the

though, is to see Jamie turn his back on the street life. And when
