In America, kings are not born, they are made. Danny McCabe isn't
his real name. America certainly isn't his real home. But now Danny
finds himself fleeing Ireland for the bright lights of 1930s
Hollywood with two virtual strangers, Nicky Mariani and his
beautiful sister, Lucia. As Lucia pursues her dream of stardom,
Nicky finds his calling in the violent underbelly of the city of
dreams. Torn between his love for Lucia and his desperate fear for
their safety, Danny is drawn into a chain of events that will pit
brother against sister, friend against friend, and lover against
lover.
Danny McCabe is on the run. He committed a terrible crime. And he'd
do it again. A promising boxer back in his native Ireland, he had
to start over with a new life and a new home, halfway across the
world in up-and-coming New York City. A chance encounter tangles
his life up with fellow immigrants Nicky and Lucia Mariani. The
siblings came to the land of opportunity with high hopes and little
else. As Danny scrapes by, Lucia dreams of Hollywood stardom, while
Nicky's reckless ambition measures success only in money and power.
They are the only family Danny has. He would do anything for them.
But every family has its secrets -- even from each other . . . This
is a sweeping story set over three decades, from Europe to America,
from the slums and tenements of New York to the glitz and glamour
of the Hollywood Hills, from the dark heart of the American Dream
to an impossible choice . . .

for help? No one at all. Madigan is charming, effective, and knows
how to look after himself. The only problem is that he's up to his
neck in debt to the drug kingpin of Harlem. This one heist will
free Madigan and finally give him a chance to get his life back on
track. But things go wrong when Madigan is forced to kill his
co-conspirators and a child is shot in the crossfire. Now both
sides of the law are hunting him down, and the cop assigned to lead
the case is the very last person he could have expected . . .
Washington has a new menace... a serial killer whose victims don't
exist... Washington, embroiled in the mid-term elections, did not

ignore it. Detective Robert Miller is assigned to the case, and
rapidly uncover a complication. The victims do not officially
exist. Their personal details do not register on any known systems.
And as Miller unearths ever more disturbing facts, he starts to
face truths so far-removed from his own reality that he begins to
fear for his life.

mutilated in the trunk of a beautiful vintage car and when her
kidnapper calls he doesn't want money: he wants time alone with Ray
Hartmann, who works for a Washington-based organised crime task
force. All Ray wants to do is get this over with quickly, and go
home to try and repair his broken marriage. Instead he must listen
to the mysterious kidnapper, an elderly Cuban named Ernesto Perez,
who wants to tell him his life story. It's only when he realises
that Ernesto has been a brutal hitman for the Mob since the 1950s
that things start to come together. But by the time the pieces fall
into place, it's already too late...

shop and claims to be her father's oldest friend she jumps at the

free with the answers she needs. He's much more interested in

betrayal. A betrayal that she will realise far too slowly, has
something very much to do with her...

one of his neighbours is found hanging from a rope, with articles

still lives and is killing again. And the secret of his identity

and his wife Jackie greeted the crowds on a glorious Friday
afternoon in Dallas, Texas. BUT WHAT IF IT MISSED? Mitch Newman is
a photojournalist based out of Washington, D.C. His phone never
rings. When it does, a voice he hasn't heard in years will tell him
his former fiancee Jean has taken her own life. WHEN THE TRUTH IS
BIGGER THAN ALL THE LIES Jean was an investigative reporter working
the case of a lifetime. Somewhere in the shreds of her
investigation is the truth behind her murder. WHO WOULD BELIEVE IT?
For Mitch, piecing together the clues will become a dangerous
obsession: one that will lead him to the dark heart of his country
- and into the crossfire of a conspiracy...
Prison changes a man. Sometimes in ways you can see. Usually in
ways you can't. Henry Quinn only survived three years inside
because of Evan Riggs, a one-time country singer, one-time killer,
now serving a life sentence, no parole. On the day he gets out,
Henry promises Evan he will find his daughter, the daughter he
never met, and deliver a letter. A free man, Henry heads to the
small Texan town where Evan grew up and where his brother Carson is
Sheriff. There's no sign of the girl, and her uncle claims to know
nothing of her whereabouts. But Henry isn't about to give up.
Carson's behaviour towards him grows threatening, and Henry
realises that there are dark secrets buried at the heart of this
quiet town. What terrible thing drove the brothers apart, and what
happened to Evan's daughter?
Most cops are trying to right grievous wrongs. Few, however, have
to deal with the horrific crimes of their own father... Frank
Parrish had a famous father: a Saint of New York, an NYPD detective
who helped rid the city of Mafia control in the 1980s. John Parrish
is a tough act to follow - a legend in his own right - and Frank
already has an insubordination rap to beat. Summoned for daily
Police Department interviews, he's also trying to work out how the
death of a young heroin dealer might connect to his innocent
teenage sister, who's just been found dead. There are more
questions than answers, not just as the homicides escalate, but as
Frank battles with his own demons. He must find the truth, and
bring the trail of murder to an end.

murder . . . Daniel Ford has thirty-six days to live. Accused of

he has exhausted all appeals and now faces the long walk to the

John Rousseau is the man to whom the last month of Daniel's life
has been entrusted. All the two men have left to do is rake over
the last ashes of Ford's existence. So he begins to tell his story.
Daniel's story takes him from his first meeting with Nathan, aged
six, on the shores of a lake in 1952, through first loves, Vietnam,
the death of Kennedy and finally their flight from the draft which
ends in Nathan's brutal murder. But meanwhile the clock is ticking
and the days are running out . . .
The serial killer to end all serial killers is out there and only
one person in the whole city knows it... Twenty years ago John
Costello's life, as he knew it, ended. He and his beautiful
girlfriend, Nadia, were victims of the deranged 'Hammer of God'
killer who terrorised New Jersey City throughout the summer of
1984. Nadia was killed instantly. John survived, but withdrew from
society, emerging only to work as a crime researcher for a major
newspaper. Damaged he may be, but no one in New Jersey knows more
about serial killers than John Costello. Then a new spate of
murders starts - all seemingly random and unrelated - until John
discovers a complex pattern that links them. But could this dark
knowledge be about to threaten his life?
