Maura Deverell is a young Irish peasant girl whose mother is dying of consumption. Their cruel landlord threatens to throw them out of their cottage unless Maura agrees to marry his young son, Liam Riordan. But before Maura can decide, she is brutally raped by Liam's brother Padraig, who gloats that once she is under their roof, Maura will be at his mercy - his sexual slave. Weak though she is, Maura's mother does not let this vicious act go unavenged. She curses the Riordans and then, on her deathbed, makes Maura promise to leave Ireland for good. Maura ends up in Birmingham, after many narrow escapes from rape and death. Even when she makes staunch friends, and discovers a protector in the shape of Aiden Shanley, she longs to go home, stopped only by her promise to her mother. Eventually the wicked Riordans meet a well deserved sticky end and Maura is persuaded to return and marry Liam after all.

Pat O'Keeffe Burn Out Published December 2002 by Hodder at £18.99 ISBN: 0340820179 Artwork by: Jacket photograph: © Stone

Wales is supposed to be a rest cure, a chance to exorcise the demons of injury, guilt and betrayal. But before Steve Jay has even reached the remote clinic, he has had to deal with a house fire and a clear case of murder. Then he is caught in a forest fire, an elemental force; awesome, destructive, deadly. Steve Jay, seeking rest and isolation, has landed on an anthill, a vicious eco-war between the Welsh and a multi-national mining conglomerate. By degrees he is drawn into the battle, lured by a beautiful woman with a past: a past that will engulf him. He returns to London not whole, but functional; not healed, but rested, with breath enough to try to regain his position and self-respect. But he has scarcely time to settle in when a huge explosion rips the heart from a building and presents him and his crew with the most dangerous incident they have ever faced - the eco-war has followed him to London. Jay is forced to go back to Wales and discover the truth, but not before a woman he thought he'd never see again returns with trouble on her mind and Jay in her heart.

See Review by Bernard Knight ex Home Office Pathologist and author of the highly acclaimed Crowner John series

The Invisible World Is a place of half-truths, mystery and deceit. It is a place locked in the subconscious mind where dreams and memories act as windows to the outside. And it harbours the deepest pain. Samuel Xavier Adams is all too familiar with The Invisible World. It's where he sees his sister who died from heroin addiction, and it's where he glimpses his recently deceased mother. It's also the place where the memories of his father are locked away, a father shrouded in mystery, a hunted man. Now that man is back, and has been seen in the chapel of rest where the ashes of Samuel's mother await his collection. When the ashes disappear, Samuel knows that his father has taken them - but why? He wants answers. Why has his father returned again and after such a long time, and what did he do that keeps him in constant hiding? Samuel wants answers. But time is running out; there are those that will kill to get to his father before he does.
