'I have read ALL Heather Atkinson's books. They are all fantastic.'
Edinburgh 1896. At Alardyce House, the family are gathered to
celebrate the engagement of the heir to the estate, Robert, to his
childhood sweetheart. But what should be a precious memory for his
mother Amy, is marred by darkness. For Robert's biological father
was a demon and a criminal, and now Robert is coming-of-age,
disturbing reports are beginning to emerge about his behaviour. Amy
is torn between her love and loyalty to her son, her hope that she
can save his soul, and her growing sense of dread that the streets
of Edinburgh aren't safe when Robert is in town. Meanwhile the
increasing distance between Robert and his stepfather Henry
threatens the peace of her loving marriage. The Alardyce family is
riven by secrets and scandal, but will this most cursed heir of
all, be the one to ruin their reputation forever, or can the power
of a mother's love save them all? If you love Emily Organ, Kate
Saunders and Ann Granger, you'll love The Cursed Heir. Discover

'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
straightforward jewellery heist goes horribly wrong, and the
thieves are forced to take a hostage to make their escape. But when
they discover their prisoner is the infamous Nina Glass - one of
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,
Hustle is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and
Mandasue Heller. What readers say about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen
knows how to ramp up the action just when it's needed... he never
fails to give you hard-hitting thrillers that have moments that
will stay with you forever...' 'One of the very best thriller
writers I have ever read.' 'Owen Mullen writes a good story, he
really brings his characters to life and the endings are hard to
guess and never what you expected.'
