If no one knows you're in danger, no one can save you...The Baxter
house in the Lowther Hills, in Scotland, has been up for sale for
decades. It's dilapidated and near-derelict, and nobody is
interested in it. But for one potential buyer, the remote location
and rat-infested cellar are just what he's looking for. For the
first year, Mackenzie's marriage to Derek was ideal. Now though,
Derek believes she is having an affair, and when she fears her
husband is becoming controlling, she knows she's made a terrible
mistake. But Mackenzie has a drinking problem, so when she
threatens to leave Derek and then disappears, no one believes she
has been abducted. It will fall to DS Geddes to untangle the
truth... Owen Mullen is a best-selling author of psychological and
gangland thrillers. His fast-paced, twist-aplenty stories are
perfect for all fans of Robert Galbraith, Ian Rankin and Ann
Cleeves. What readers say about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen knows how
to ramp up the action just when it's needed... he never fails to

This book presents the first comprehensive study of international
criminal jurisdiction over organized crime. Taking into account a
broad range of profit-generating crimes, including human
trafficking, migrant smuggling, drug trafficking, and illicit trade
in arms and ammunition, Strobel draws a concise picture of who can
be prosecuted for what under which circumstances by analysing the
current legal framework as defined by the Rome Statute, and by
discussing future developments that could further facilitate such
prosecutions. Whereas international criminal law in the strict
sense has long been considered not to apply to organized crime,
Strobel convincingly demonstrates that international criminal
prosecutions hold underexploited potential to bring leaders of
cartels and trafficking rings to justice.
