"An epic NEW tale of treachery and bitter rivalry between Yorkshire's tough smuggling gangs, where only the strong survive Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, House of Guinness and Peaky Blinders
There's no honour among thieves... or family.
Yorkshire, 1840
Along this treacherous Yorkshire coastline, the cutthroat industry of smuggling thrives, and two rival gangs rule the night... the Stringers of Bay Town and the Lambs of Ravenscar. Waging a war for control of the contraband that flows through England's northern cities.
After a lifetime of violence and bloodshed, Jim Hood returns to his hometown of Whitby with his friend Samuel Comus, their pockets heavy with prize money from their exploits along the African coast. They dream of respectability, of turning their backs on their past, but old friends and enemies await, and old habits die hard...
When tragedy strikes, and Jim's well-laid plans turn to ash, Jim is forced to return to the brutal world he'd sworn to leave behind.
Now he must navigate the deadly currents that flow between rival smuggling empires, where childhood loyalties war with newfound enemies, and where the price of survival might be the very soul he'd fought so hard to reclaim.
Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ken Follett and Dan Jones."
"A BRAND NEW gripping gangland thriller from Gillian Godden!
Alex Silva has done his time. Now, he just wants a fresh start.
After years behind bars, Alex is finally free and determined to go straight. No more trouble, no more deals-just a clean slate for him and his family and a legit life running his old pub. But the streets don't forget, and neither do old enemies.
Coming home isn't the reunion he hoped for. With his daughter Deana missing, Alex discovers the kids have dragged the wrong kind of trouble to his doorstep. A turf war is brewing and for the first time in his life, Alex is on the losing side.
Now Alex has a choice: stand by and watch everything fall apart, or go back to the men he betrayed-the ones who won't let him walk away twice.
Either way, his new life might be over before it even begins...

As his interrogation progresses, Kaplan's background is revealed piece by piece, from the love story between him and his childhood friend Amalya, to their shared passion for Kafka, which leads them to join a radical group. But when a shocking discovery is made about the person who ultimately set Brod's attempted murder in motion, Kaplan and Muller agree to work together to expose the truth."
