Chief Superintendent Jackie Starling is a ruthless, ambitious,
senior officer in the UK National Crime Agency. Tasked with closing
down the "County Lines" drug dealers she is determined to get a
result; whatever it takes. Catching and convicting the dealers is
easy enough; most of them are children. But these results are
temporary and the young criminals are replaced within days.
Starling needs a different strategy and so faces a choice: Stay
within the rules and chip away at the foot soldiers or kill the
bosses? She decides to go for the bosses. She knows someone capable
of carrying out the tasks ahead and she has the power to persuade
him to deliver. But Starling has no idea what they will be up
against or the prospect of a horrifying death that she will be
facing. "County Lines" is the UK distribution model that involves
urban gangs expanding their markets for crack cocaine and heroin
into smaller towns by setting up phone lines through which they
sell the Class A drugs.
Diana Hamilton is a strong, successful, wealthy woman. She owns the
most discreet, exclusive and expensive private members club in
Mayfair. But when she decides to expand beyond London she
encounters two truly terrible brothers. They have made millions
over the years, importing heroin, cocaine, ketamine and illegal
immigrants. But they want more. And her business looks like a soft
target. "What terrified him the most was the dentist chair and the
straps - until he saw the metal rings attached to the ceiling and
the rings in the floor below."

Life is good. Drugs, booze, sex, and plenty of money. But, when
blank passports are found in an important client's wealth
management office, these baby boomer professionals find themselves
in terrible trouble. They can't trust their colleagues or their
bosses and HMRC are after them as well. But much worse, so are the
people working for Jorge Perez - the chief money launderer for the
infamous Los Zetas drug cartel. "... He had only met Jorge once; on
that occasion he was invited to dinner during which he had to watch
a man killing someone's wife. It became apparent that a video of
the killing was going to be sent to her husband because he had
displeased Jorge in some way."
In this collection, our intrepid heroine, Lucy Burkhampton, is
orphaned and swindled out of her inheritance by her evil nemesis,
Lord Diehardt. She must seek a way to prove her right to her
family's wealth, to defeat her enemy, and more than anything, to
stay alive. These stories are all that is left of this largely
forgotten, but utterly unforgettable serial from the golden age of
adventure. Lucy Burkhampton is a creation from the mind of Calum
Kerr, the writer behind the flash-fiction collections Apocalypse,
Lost Property and 31. This book is the second in the 2014 Flash365
series.
One office. Many lives. It is that time of day: the time for
poorly-filled, pre-packaged sandwiches; the time to run errands you
won't have enough time for; the time to fall in love, to kill or be
killed, to take advice from an alien. It's the Lunch Hour. This
collection of thirty flash-fictions examines the life of the
workers in an office during the one time of day when they have the
freedom to be who they want to be. It is linked series of stories
from Calum Kerr, the writer of 31, Braking Distance, Lost Property
and the other 2014 Flash365 collections.
Unrelated strangers are being murdered in a brutal fashion. At each
scene, the killer is leaving a chess board. The deaths seem to
represent moves in some ghastly game. Now it's up to crime-scene
cleaner Mike Chambers, with the help of the police, in the form of
his friend, DC James Worth, to track down the killer and stop the
trail of carnage. The Grandmaster is the latest output from the
mind of Calum Kerr, author of Undead at Heart, Braking Distance,
Lost Property and 31. This book is the third in the 2014 Flash365
series.
Updated in a new edition, with a new Foreword and including the
extra story 'The Second Spark.' Containing 31 stories written in

spans a wide range of genres and styles: from science-fiction to an
unconventional love story, from pulp noir to the apocalypse, from
magical realism to the magic of life. "There's a surreal fantasy
about a town struck by an attack of metaphors, a futuristic
investigation into prosthetic noses, and a poignant contemplation
on holding hands. Calum Kerr's flash fictions are funny and moving
and leap off the page with all the immediacy and urgency with which
they were written." - David Gaffney, author of The Half Life of
Songs "Such a treat... I was reading it thinking ah, so this is
what good flash fiction is like. These should have won prizes and
been lauded to the skies... The best and most energetic book of
flash I've read for aeons " - Cathy Bryant, author of Contains
Strong Language and Scenes of a Sexual Nature Calum Kerr is the
