She's the boss now...Daddy's girl Samantha Reynold hadn't bargained
on unexpectedly needing to step into her father's shoes and take
over the family casino business. Pampered and spoiled, Sam knows
nothing about the rules of this glamorous but deadly new world. She
has a lot to learn and even more to prove. But she won't let her
family down, especially when it looks like they could lose
everything to their biggest rivals - the Stoker family. Eldest son
Sebastian hasn't got time to pander to pretty girl Samantha as she
plays at being boss. Rumours are swirling around the streets of
Birmingham that have the power to rip the Stoker family apart and
destroy everything they've built. And Seb will stop at nothing to
ensure that in this takeover, only one will succeed. A gripping new
gangland story perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Heather
Atkinson and Caz Finlay. What people are saying about Edie Baylis!

its best! Bestselling author Kerry Kaya. 'Shocking and thrilling at
the same time. It will take your breath away!' Bestselling author

It's hard to live when you think you deserve to die... When a tired
old inmate is found dead in his cell, the prison is obligated to
investigate and so DI Barton attends. The men he interviews have
been convicted of some of the worst things a human being can do,
but it appears likely that the death was due to natural causes.
When the house of the dead man is burgled and that crime is
followed by a suspicious fire, Barton desperately needs to speak to
his widow, but she's nowhere to be found. In the space of
twenty-four hours, everyone he wants to talk to has vanished. Then
he receives some post which makes him believe he could be the next
to disappear. Barton's investigation goes full circle, through a
series of brutal murders, back to the prison, and all signs are
pointing to the fact that he's made a terrible mistake. There's a
violent killer on the loose, who wants everyone to learn that some
people deserve to die. DI Barton is back as Ross Greenwood
continues with his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark
Billingham and Ian Rankin. Praise for Ross Greenwood: 'Move over
Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime
investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A
rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the
pages until the final dramatic twist.' author Richard Burke 'Master
of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again
proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that
draw you right in and won't let go until you've reached the
shocking ending.' Caroline Vincent at Bitsaboutbooks blog 'Ross
Greenwood doesn't write cliches. What he has written here is a
fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's
spiced with a lot of humour.' author Kath Middleton
