As a member of the Counter Terrorist Unit, Sean Doyle thought he'd
seen it all. Every violent act, every depraved action man could
perpetrate against man but he is to discover that there are much
worse things in this world than even he has encountered. Tracking a
group of renegade terrorists from London to the Republic of
Ireland, Doyle and his partner must discover who is funding these
men and why. What he discovers is beyond even his experience and
threatens not just his life but his sanity too. The trail of terror
leads not just across Britain but to France as well where the
monstrous deeds of a murderer who died four hundred years earlier
still cast a dark and horrific shadow. In the grisly frames of a
stained glass window taken from the home of this vile killer lay
the secret sought by so many for so long. The secret of
immortality. And one man will stop at nothing to get it. Sean Doyle
is about to meet that man. Modern terrorism meets Medieval madness
in a jaw-dropping climax that will make the living envy the
dead..."Britain's greatest living horror author." -Dark Side "An
expert in the art of keeping the reader turning the pages." -Time

He sucked in a deep breath full of that strange smell he couldn't
identify. He trailed his hands across the satin beneath him and to
both sides of him and, when he raised his hands, above him too. He
knew why it was so dark. He understood why he could see nothing. He
realized why he was lying down. He was in a coffin. A distraught
couple thinks you've killed their daughter and they want a
confession. If you say you did it, they'll kill you. If you say you
didn't, they'll leave you to die. It seems hopeless but there is
one way out...What would you do?

retreat to the small, peaceful town of Hinkston. But Hinkston isn't
peaceful anymore. It's being torn apart by a series of horrific

nightmare. Two of them are shot dead and another fatally wounded.
But who is trying to wipe them out, killing not just them but their
families too? How are the Government and the British army
implicated? What lurks within a secret research establishment in
the English countryside? Franklin has to find out. Finally the only
one left alive, he tires of being the prey and decides to become
the hunter. His quest will bring him into conflict with forces he
cannot begin to imagine or understand but he is driven by a need
for revenge that overrides his fear. Aided by a desperate
detective, Franklin becomes embroiled in a series of events that
lead to a terrifying climax in the London Underground where he

crash, devastated to learn that another woman had been with him and
disbelieving when the police informed her that the crash had been
no accident. How could her beloved Chris, a bestselling author,
have any enemies? How long had he had a mistress? And who are the
mysterious men in the photographs she finds? Suddenly Donna has to
face up to the fact that she knows less about her husband than she

questions, Donna moves ever closer to danger, for she herself is
being stalked by people who have killed before and will do so
again. She will come face to face with those who call themselves

What can have driven three professional, ordinary men - a surveyor,
an accountant and an architect - to the desperate act of suicide?
Such is the question facing Chief Inspector James Talbot and
journalist Catherine Reed, seeking to find a link to the deaths and
a series of desecrations in a local cemetery. Every grave belonged
to a child. As Catherine investigates these outrages, her brother
discovers that a number of children at the school where he teaches
appear to be exhibiting signs of abuse. It would appear that what
everyone feared is becoming a reality - a full scale child abuse
ring seems to be in operation. But the spectre of child abuse is
merely the tip of a terrifying iceberg. As the race to discover the
truth becomes increasingly urgent, Catherine and Talbot find that
something much darker could be responsible, which threatens not
just life but sanity itself.
Sean Doyle is no stranger to violence. As a member of the Counter
Terrorist Unit he's seen more than his fair share of it. And it
seems his intimate acquaintance with death and brutality is set to
continue, as he investigates the hijack of an army weapons convoy
in Northern Ireland. Managing to infiltrate the organisation, he
soon makes some disturbing discoveries: the body of an IRA informer
stuffed with heroin, and an IRA safe house full of Chinese Triads.
With a wave of violence sweeping across Britain, Doyle soon
realises the stakes have been raised to an alarming degree. The
evidence points to an unholy war between two Triad groups with the
IRA behind one of them. Motive? Only Doyle can find out, and he
must do so before the carnage spirals out of control...
Detective Inspector Frank Gregson must investigate a series of
savage and apparently motiveless murders. Moreover, they are carbon
copies of killings committed years earlier - committed by men
currently incarcerated in one of Britain's maximum security
prisons. How could this be?

During an archaeological dig, a hidden chamber filled with the
skulls of children is discovered. At first glance they seem to have
been there for thousands of years but closer examination reveals a
more shocking secret. The opening of the chamber triggers a series
of horrific murders, each victim mutilated and their entrails used
to form a different letter of the alphabet. Who is behind this
outrage? And how is it linked to a subterranean chamber thousands
of years old? Inspector Stephen Wallace must unmask this crazed
killer. Is it the sadistic thug responsible for organising a series
of barbaric dog fights? The mysterious recluse who holds Black Mass
orgies for drug addicted teenagers? Or is it, in fact, something
much worse? An evil so old, so vile and so powerful that it
threatens to engulf everyone who comes near it. For Wallace, and
possibly for the whole human race, time is running out fast.
Something evil is waiting. Something monstrous is
