The explosive new thriller featuring Sam Packer from the bestselling author of Fire Hawk and The Lucifer Network.

Sam Packer has a new assignment that will combine all his diplomatic and survival skills. An aging, wealthy Japanese businessman, Tetsuo Kamata, is under threat from a former prisoner-of-war, Peregrine Harrison, who was tortured on the infamous Burma Railway. For the last five decades, Harrison has been the leader of a British-based cult. Packer can't believe that at the age of seventy-seven Harrison has the strength or will to exact revenge, but he reckons without Harrison's cult adherents, in particular a ruthless ex-SAS operative involved in drug smuggling in the Burma triangle.
Packer learns that Kamata will be hit while visiting a factory site in Burma and is flown out under cover to prevent a tragedy. Kamata is kidnapped and Packer is soon in the jungle, hunter and hunted as he searches for the missing man and is tracked by his enemies. The Burma Legacy combines Geoffrey Archer's immaculate research with heart-stopping action.

Fourteenth in the Didius Falco series.

Falco and his family are staying in London when Falco he is summoned to the scene of a murder. The victim, Verovolcus, was a renegade with ties to Roman crime magnates operating in London - but he was also close to King Togidubnus. So when he is discovered stuffed head first down a well, a tricky diplomatic situation develops that Falco needs to defuse. This leads Falco into the seedy underbelly of London, a world plundered by Roman gangsters out to profit from the excitement-starved population. Sex, death and gambling are the order of the day and the newly built Amphitheatre, with its flashy female gladiators, is proving particularly popular. Falco soon realises that the initially troublesome gladiators - including one from his own bachelor past - may just give him the edge he needs to solve Verovolcus' murder, as the gangsters are pursued back to the Italian town of Ostia for a final showdown.

'One hour to live affects us all in different ways.' A plane is circling San Francisco desperately dumping fuel before its final, no hope emergency landing. In the last moments before he dies Tom Chapel hears his mother's confession: he is not his father's son.
Tom is miraculously reprieved: he decides it's time to put his life in order and discover where he came from. The first clues point back to the two years of the Second World War when France was ruled by a puppet government in Vichy, where his mother served. Shortly after his near death experience, Tom learns that his daughter has inherited a 28 million dollar fortune left by a Frenchman, provided she survives until she is 21.
Tom flies to the South of France but his daughter is abducted and left in a coma. Clearly someone is trying to stop the money going to the Chapels. But why has it been left? What is the mystery of Marcel Coultard, Resistance hero and unexpected benefactor? Perhaps another clue lies in the flooded village from which Coultard came, drowned to provide water for the thirsty tourist towns of the Riviera. But now in the summer drought it has once more been revealed. Strange lights have been reported in the graveyard.
What follows is a murder investigation and the uncovering of secrets that will shake Tom's vision of himself and of history.

.

The second novel in the electrifying Murder Rooms cycle. While a young medical student at Edinburgh Arthur Conan Doyle famously studied under the remarkable Dr Joseph Bell, who was a pioneer in criminal investigation. Cream chronicles their most frightening and disturbing case, the encounter with the man who was later presented to the world in expurgated form as Moriarty.

Beginning with a series of bizarre and outlandish assaults on women in the brothels of Edinburgh the story moves to the medical faculty of the city's university, which is itself being disrupted by the violent struggle for women's educational rights. Here Doyle meets a fellow student, young Elsbeth Scott, who has many enemies, among them a crazed misogynist student called Crawford and the smiling hypocritical patron of the university, Henry Carlisle. Yet slowly Bell begins to realise that the increasingly freakish crimes and murders they are investigating reflect an entirely new and terrifying kind of criminal who is not susceptible to the old methods.
Cream takes them from the evil heart of old Edinburgh into what Bell calls their 'fight against the future' and to London itself, where Doyle again faces his nemesis with terrifying results.
