A girl is missing in a Suffolk seaside town, and to crime writer
Max Monday it all seems worryingly familiar. For one summer back in
the 1970's, a serial killer struck in the same area, claiming six
young lives. Could it be that the same man has struck again? And if
so where will he stop? For when the missing girl is found dead it
looks like history is set to repeat itself, though this time more
shocking and disturbing than ever before. From the shortlisted
author of the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Award and the
Harry Bowling Prize for fiction. A superb writer. Slingink

Life is rapidly falling apart for young librarian, Laura
Braybrooke. After receiving devastating news about her health, she
retreats to the peace of the West Country. It doesn't stay peaceful
for long. For walking out to the lonely Devon peninsular of St.
Michael's Point, near to a one time secret army base for American
forces prior to D-Day, Laura meets Paul, a mysterious stranger who
has come to investigate the wartime killing of the local
coastguard: his grandfather Jack Hannaford. The evidence suggests
that Jack was a spy. But if that was so then what changed him from
a steadfast patriot to a quisling? Does the secret lie behind the
rusting wire of the vast St. Michael's Point Manor, the derelict
cliff top headquarters of the former American army base, or maybe
in the woods nearby, where the remains of a devastating wartime
experiment lie buried deep underground? Against the clock and
facing their personal demons, it's up to Laura and Paul to find
out. An exciting and original spy novel with a difference, set
against the ravishing backdrop of a British coastline under
American military control, a tale which mirrors the occupation of
land by foreign forces in other parts of the world today. Not just
a thrilling journey into a long buried past. The Call of Echoes
resounds with the fears and uncertainty of the present.
It is the bleak winter of 1956: The East End of London. An icy wind
blows across the yard of the St. Barnabas Children's Home. New boy
Ronnie Cable is taking a beating, but to his rescue comes Jimmy
DuCaine, a boy with a mysterious past. As firm friends Jimmy and
Ronnie survive the brutality of the children's home and pass
through into a seedy world of coffee bars, rock and roll and crime.
But rising above their humble beginnings to form a partnership and
their own construction business, they begin to realise that their
struggle has only just begun. For if they are to rebuild the city
they love, they must first destroy the toughest adversary of their
lives: Gangland London. Towers of London. A story of good and evil,
of love and hate, of the realisation of dreams and the discovery of
true friendship.
