STRIKER has a gift. He sees things other cops don't. Sometimes, it's a blessing. On other occasions, a curse. When a package containing graphic pictures of a murder taking place is delivered to the mother of the victim, the unconventional and uncompromising detective is called upon to use his special talents to solve the case. With just a small team of specialist officers, including the beautiful psychological profiler, DC Felicity Abbott, Striker quickly learns he is dealing with not one, but two serial killers who are about to kill one victim, each week. Same time, same place, same MO. Six of them. Who says serial killers don't know when to stop? SIX, is the latest Detective Sergeant Striker thriller, from one of the new breed of British authors, Robert White. This dark, violent tale is packed with intrigue and will keep you guessing.
Rick Fuller, a once decorated SAS hero, now Manchester hit-man, likes nothing better than disposing of his employer's rivals in return for a suitcase of cash. His spectacular fall from grace, and obsession to discover the identity of the IRA terrorist who gunned down his wife, all but destroyed him. Ten years have passed since that fateful day, and Ireland has seen many changes. The man who slaughtered Cathy Fuller on her doorstep in Hereford in 1996 is now the First Minister of the Province, but Fuller is more determined than ever to get his revenge.
Few tears are shed when an ex-boxer and local hard man is found dead in a disused railway signal box. When DCI John Blizzard is called in to investigate, he discovers no shortage of people who would want the bully dead. But getting any of them to come forward proves difficult. Having interrupted the opening day of the public display of a steam engine that DCI Blizzard lovingly helped restore, few are keener than he to see the perpetrator under lock and key. It transpires that the victim once gave a man life-changing injuries with a cruel sucker punch, thus Blizzard's colleagues think they've found a likely suspect. But the veteran detective is not so sure. In fact, the real culprits might be much closer to home. Probing deeper into the web of lies that surrounded the man's life, Blizzard might have to confront unpalatable truths that shatter his nostalgic view of the city's past.
In the winter of 1996, on the orders of the British Government, the SAS stole the contents of a safe belonging to the Provisional IRA. Rick Fuller headed that team. Days later Fuller's wife was brutally murdered. Convinced he was betrayed from within, Fuller begins a relentless search for her murderers. Ten years on Fuller is a Manchester gangland enforcer, a lone and bitter figure. On a job in Amsterdam, doors open to the past, but can Fuller finally take his revenge on the men who betrayed him?
A woman is found dead by a canal. Her eyes have been poked out. Detective Stephen Greco has just started his job at Oldston CID, and is faced with several murders with no obvious connection except for the murderer's penchant for disfigurement. His team are crumbling under the pressure; he doesn't know who he can trust. Can Greco regain composure and control in order to stop the murders?
In the Middle Ages a remarkable tomb was carved to cover the bones of an English hero. For centuries the grave spawned tales about dragons and devils, giants and winged hounds. To understand why this happened, Christopher Hadley takes us on a journey through 1,000 years of history.
Hollow Places begins with a Hertfordshire dragon-slayer named Piers Shonks but soon draws us into the company of outlaws and stonemasons, antiquaries and champions. Full of wonder and always surprising, the story takes us to the margins of the Bayeux Tapestry where strange creatures gather, to ancient woodland where hollow trees hide secrets, and to the scribbled clues about folk heroes in eighteenth-century manuscripts. Hadley leads us back shivering to a church in Georgian England to sketch the dragon on a tomb, to stand atop its tower triangulating the Elizabethan countryside, and to confront the zealous Mr Dowsing and his thugs looting brasses and smashing masonry during the Civil War. Along the way, we discover how long bones will last in a crypt and where medieval stonemasons found inspiration.
The story of Piers Shonks is the survivor of an 800-year battle between storytellers and those who would mock or silence them. It stands for all those thousands of seemingly forgotten tales that used to belong to every village. It is an adventure into the past by a talented and original new writer, and a meditation on memory and belief that underlines the importance and the power of the folk legends we used to tell and why they still matter.
One night, two crimes. A grisly murder. A vicious sex attack. DS Ewan Striker is the best detective on the force. Unconventional and uncompromising, he is respected and feared in equal amounts. Tag Westland is a rookie. A rich boy, who has realised that being a cop is not as glamorous as he first thought. In fact, he has his resignation in his pocket. These two unlikely crime fighters are thrown together, as it becomes apparent that each of their investigations are inextricably linked to something even more evil. A major terrorist attack.
A RICK FULLER THRILLER.

With Des wounded, Cartwright tasks Rick to travel to Southern Ireland alone. Posing as an old IRA player, Fuller's job is to buy a stockpile of weapons left over from the Troubles and sell them to men he hopes will lead him to Al-Mufti. However, what is left of the Provo's have other ideas. Even twenty years on, Rick Fuller's scalp is a precious commodity.
With action from beginning to end, THE FELLOWSHIP is a rip roaring ride that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.

D-Day marked the start of the Battle for Normandy which in turn led to the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe and the defeat of Germany. Although it is seen as an unqualified success, the Battle for Normandy was a much more closely fought affair. It wasn't until the 1970s that details of the Allies' top secret and audacious deception plan emerged.
