Courageous hero or cold-blooded criminal? Tonight we find out.

It's 14 years after the worst terrorist atrocity in UK history, and, with the perpetrators either dead or missing, the motive remains a mystery. But Dr Ralph Teller, a wealthy industrialist who lost his wife in the attack, never gave up hope of justice. He thinks he knows the real identity of the mastermind responsible.

Only one person can help him put together the final pieces of the puzzle - retired police officer Chris Sketty, who infiltrated the terrorist group and was wounded trying to prevent the attack. But Cleverly thinks Sketty is a liar...and possibly far worse. He has a dossier on all the former cop's dark secrets and will make them public unless Sketty tells the truth.

So, over one night, Sketty will share his brutal tale of betrayal, ruthlessness and corruption, finishing with a revelation so terrifying and unexpected that it will change everything. Is Sketty a brave hero, crippled in the line of duty, or the most ruthless mass murderer the country has ever seen?

With the suffocating suspense of Line of Duty and gasping twists of The Usual Suspects, this is a dizzying thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last minute.

The Ex Hex is a spellbinding rom-com with a twist, think Practical Magic in Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow.

New York Times best-selling author Rachel Hawkins, writing as Erin Sterling, casts a spell with a spine-tingling romance full of wishes, witches and hexes gone wrong.

You broke my heart, Rhys Penhallow. And we curse you. You and your whole stupid, hot line.

Vivienne Jones handled the biggest break-up of her life the way that any witch would: vodka, bubble baths and a curse on her ex.

That was nine years ago. Now Rhys Penhallow, descendant of the town's founders, breaker of hearts and still irritatingly gorgeous, is back. Rhys has returned to the quaint town of Graves Glen to recharge the ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival. But when his every move results in calamity, Vivi realises that hexing her ex might not have been so harmless after all....

As the curse starts to affect the magic of the town, resulting in murderous wind-up toys, an outraged ghost and a surprisingly talkative cat, Vivi and Rhys must put their personal feelings aside and work together to break the curse and save not just the town, but also Rhys' life.

Can they uncover how the corpses connect?

Bella Morleigh was pleased to inherit a derelict theatre, that is until an unknown body is discovered within it....

Luckily for her, her two friends, Libby Sarjeant and psychic investigator Fran Castle, are on the case.

Although Libby is rather distracted by the preparations for her friends' civil partnership ceremony, she's at least getting the hang of using a computer to dig for information, something she's certain will be terribly useful in her detecting career.

When a second body is discovered, however, it is one of Fran's psychic moments (and none of Libby's computer know-how) that help them discover the surprising link between the two corpses....
