Set in the unforgiving landscape of the Australian outback, an outstanding debut thriller from the winner of the Crime Writers' Association New Writers' Award. This novel's brilliant first chapter was serialised in The Sunday Times.

When journalist India Kane travels from Sydney to the outback town of Cooinda for a reunion with her friend Lauren, she has no idea of the town's appalling history. There, forty years earlier, an entire Aboriginal family was massacred and locals renamed the town Blood Junction.
And when India arrives in Cooinda, she's arrested for murder . . .

The epic story of Nelson and Emma Hamilton.

The Cold War is history. The old players of the secret world must dance to new tunes and for new masters. Those that fail, die.
Set in the Caribbean sea and Central America, Aftermath tells the story of post Cold War in which multi-nationals wield the power of nations and political double-dealing and institutional incompetence are rife. Opening with a ferocious terrorist attack in Guatemala, the most blood stained corner of the CIA's Central American fiefdom, Cuba's master of Terrorism - Estoban Tur - is deemed responsible. He has transgressed the new rules and must pay the price. The CIA's Bergman sets the bait and, forced out of retirement, ex-agent Trent discovers that only the certainty of betrayal has remained a constant.

Aftermath is both frighteningly knowledgeable and a blistering tale of today's world of espionage - a world of deceit, in-fighting, and breath-taking violence. This is the fifth of Simon Gandolfi's fast-paced action thrillers featuring the ex-agent, Trent.

Breakthrough novel by the immensely popular author of The Flight of Lucy Spoon and Alice Little and the Big Girl's Blouse.

Lucy Spoon wakes up in her crumbling Irish cottage and decides to leave her husband. Twenty years of marriage to a manic-depressive, control-freak, egomaniac waster is quite enough, she thinks. She jumps in her car and heads south ... And that's where her decisions end and her flight begins: a roller-coaster road trip that involves a gangster's moll, two kilos of smack, two Dublin crooks, a wealthy bus driver, a senile old lady, and a crocodile who saves the day. A hugely enjoyable crime novel with a feisty Irish heroine and a gaggle of petty criminals on the make.

Other than the bullet lodged less than a centimeter from his heart, former Detroit police officer Alex McKnight thought he had put the nightmare of his partner's death and his own near-fatal injury behind him. After all, Maximillian Rose, convicted of the crimes, has been locked in the state pen for years. But in the small town of Paradise, Michigan, where McKnight has traded his badge for a cosy cabin in the woods, a murderer with Rose's unmistakable trademarks appears to be back to his killing ways. With Rose locked away, McKnight can't understand who else would know all the intimate details of the old murders - not to mention the signature blood-red rose left on his doorstep. It seems as though Hell will freeze over before McKnight can unravel the cold truth in this town that's anything but Paradise.

Steve Hamilton's award-winning debut is sharp and stylish, combining wry humour with terrifying violence in a brilliantly evoked setting.
