Ian Gidman's debts are growing by the month, and there's nothing he can do about it. His partner is favourably inclined towards some serious financial misappropriation at Ian's expense and, like a twig in a raging torrent, Ian's life is spun around by events beyond his control. Just as he thinks the situation is improving, his former partner goes on the offensive once again and it seems that, even when he's thousands of miles away, Ian can't shake off his adversary. Meanwhile there's a ten million pound embezzlement going on, right under everyone's noses. But who's pulling the strings and orchestrating events? It has the feel of a lady's hand.

China in Her hand explores unconventional personal relationships in an unusual situation. The story is about revenge and what happens when two strong-minded women join together to punish the man who has harmed them. Sparks can fly, particularly when the man has no idea he is being punished… until it’s too late. But interwoven into the fabric of the story we look at the very essence of love and hate. For many, there will be questions about morality and a social underworld that they know nothing about. But this is the twenty-first century and it’s time to put old prejudices behind you.
Lynn and Suyin both have good reason to hate Ambrose Carson. When nine wealthy Chinese businessmen include Ambrose in their investment plans, Suyin is nominated to act as their intermediary. But she is secretly driven by events of the past, and Ambrose finds that getting the funds together for the planned investment does not run smoothly. Ambrose needs a few million more to match the Chinese investors and plans to short sell Domtech International shares after he has disposed of it's CEO, Dominic Dawson. When he instructs his hired thug to kill Dominic, the result is not one that he could have | |  | | Devil's Helmet

When he left his cottage to pick a few vegetables from his garden, Reverend Aloicius Quayle hadn't intended lying face down on the cold earth with the morning sun on the back of his head and a vine of runner beans crushed under his chest.

Before long more religious murders have Detective Inspector Angus Slooth and Detective Constable Sarah Flemons struggling to find the answers. How is the same gun | |  | | Out of the Window
Amy's on the run and scavenging in waste bins for her next meal. It's cold, it's raining, she has no money, nowhere to live, and her aunt wants her dead. If she turns herself in to the police, they will almost certainly imprison her where her aunt can get to her. But now she's done what she's done, her parents are both dead and she has no friends to look to for help... until she meets Clem and Eli. But what can a couple of quirky teenage girls do?

But what can they do against battle-hardened thugs?
