For the south-east London police Squad, it's rough, tough, dirty business, as usual. The Vixen - the most sensuous, crazy, female serial-killer ever - is masterminding a series of lethal explosions.

'Reminiscent of Ruth Rendell at her darkes' Booklist (USA)
Nick is an angry young man with a steroid dependency. Filled with chemical rage,
he arrives alone in Salisbury and rapes Ben, a stranger.
Then, less than an hour later, he brutally murders a woman.
But it is Ben, bloodied and partly dressed, who is witnessed near the murder scene.
And it's his photo fit which is flashed on TV.
Ben can't bring himself to tell his girlfriend, Dawn, that he's been raped but he acts
so strangely that she suspects that he's the killer. Now it's her turn to feel fear.
As Nick's drug-fuelled fury rises, so does the body count, The police start to close
in - but they're closing in on Ben...
'A gripping tale of skewered psychology from one of the most talented of the
rising Scottish Mac Mafia school of crime. Not only unputdownable, but also
a mighty chiller,' Maxlm Jakubowski, The Guardian

Ian Morson
Author of Falconer books and short listed for 1999 Ellis Peters Historical Crime Dagger
'Bill James can write, and then some' Chris Petit, The Guardian
A section of British Intelligence is still reeling from the unsolved murder of one of its
officers. The pain goes deeper because this killing and others before it might have
been carried out by members of the section itself in a bloody internal power battle.
Now, to make matters worse, Olly Horton has left the Service and is about to write a
book. His former chiefs fear what might come to light and order their most
experienced and skilled man - Simon Abelard, the section's 'token black' - to
dissuade Horton from going ahead, giving him new girl, Iris Insole, to help. Pretty
soon both Iris and Simon find themselves in real danger, unsure of who is friend,
who is foe. The direct sequel to Split.
'John le Carré and Len Deighton grabbed the British spy story by the scruff
of its neck and gave it a vigorous shake in the 1960s, and James provides
the same valuable service today' Publishers Weekly

No One Gets Hurt is a hard-bitten, multi-layered underworld thriller of
frightening intensity from 'the best of Britain's darker crime writers' The
Times
When a young woman is gruesomely murdered, her friend and fellow reporter
Kirsty Rice feels bound to investigate. Just as Kirsty enters the murky world of call-
girls, porn and Internet sex, she discovers that she is pregnant. Despite his
unconvincing denials, Kirsty is shocked to discover that the father of her unborn
child is involved with the pornographers.
Did he know about the killing? And how far was he mixed up with London's
infamous Miller family?
No One Gets Hurt is a tense and powerful thriller, hurtling from a truly shocking
opening to an even more shattering climax.
