Publisher's Summary:

Veronica Little is a waitress at the Splendid Affair Bar and Inn in Elmer Texas. The year is 1936, and she falls in love with Jim Bell. Over the three years she works there, she sees seven young girls never return to work. As Sheriff Al Lively and Deputy Brown investigate, their investigations come up with little.

Thus Veronica and the remaining waitresses take the law into their own hands. Set in the late 1930s, a tale of local mass murder draws the spotlight on this small town. Yet each murder is a tale of its own. Of the seven missing girls, only one escapes with her life.

Veronica does not know who to trust. From her lover, Jim, to the preacher, or Willie, Jim's maintenance man, she runs a gauntlet to try to solve the murders of Elmer. What seems to be the truth here becomes fiction, as fiction becomes the truth.

Publisher's Summary:

1916. Britain is deep in the grip of the Great War, spilling the best of its blood in Flanders' fields. Morale at home is low. But one thing is certain: war minister Lord Kitchener will see things through. So when Kitchener is assassinated by the IRA, how will the public react? How will British troops at the Front take it? It's up to MI5 to handle the situation, and quickly. Lieutenant Chris Hubert's suggestion of lookalike Colonel Henry Farmer staves off the announcement of Kitchener's death. But when "Kitchener" is sent off on a mission to St. Petersburg, it's in the interests of friend and foe to ensure he won't come back. Now, only Hubert and Special Branch officer Anne Banfield can save Farmer from a torpedo in the cold, dark waters of the Pentland Firth. The U-Boats are waiting....

An intriguing and stylishly narrated story

'Blackest of Lies' is a pacy and credible adventure examining the mystery of Kitchener's apparent death at sea in World War 1, a disaster which some question even today. Writer Bill Aitken supposes a plot by British military intelligence to cover up his earlier assassination by the IRA. From the start, officer Chris Hubert's ingenious plan to deceive Britain's enemies is under fire, and Aitken keeps him on the hop even as HMS Hampshire sets out on its fatal journey, beset by mines, submarines and deadly intrigue. Jack Wynters' narration of this well-crafted tale is mellifluous and companionable: he does a terrific job of sorting out the voices of the many diverse characters (a tangle of military tones and a posse of IRA conspirators among them) and he lends the proceedings a dignified period tone with nary a resort to pastiche. This audio book is a classy performance in all respects, with a vocal treatment that brings out the engaging qualities of the text, and is greatly to be recommended.

Strangely Addicting

Gripping

Alex Grecian gets better and better with each instalment of this series. It is gruesome and gripping in equal measures.

Brilliant!

The Scotland Yard Murder Squad.

I'm just totally blown away with this series and I'm hoping audible will bring the others in the series out.

So Jacks still going strong and now the Harvest Mans also giving Walter Day a run for his money. It's dark, gory, fun and splendidly written and narrated.

This book really does keep you hooked and I'm afraid I gorged on it in one sitting....better go and do the back load of dishes, washing, hoovering etc now....ho hum...

Well worth the credit...

Fantastic

This is a brilliant book. The series hust gets better and better. A lot more gore than the other books but not to bad. Had me on the edge of my seat almost constantly. You need to read the other books in the series in order 1st. Now please excuse me I have got to find out what happens next!!!!!!

A Book of Scars

âMurdered people never really go away...â

This is the third novel in the Breen and Tozer series, set in the late 1960âs and following on from, âA House of Knives,â and âA Song From Dead Lips.â It is 1969 and Cathal âPaddyâ Breen is recuperating from injuries suffered at the end of the last novel, at the Devon farmhouse where Helen Tozer grew up. Also on the family farm is Hibou, a young hippie girl befriended previously by Tozer. Helen Tozer has been forced to give up her career as a policewoman to return to help her parents on the farm and is resentful and angry. Her feelings are not soothed by the fact that both her parents have taken to Hibou â especially her father â who has discovered a new lease of life since she came to stay.

Anyone who has read the previous books will know that Helen Tozerâs sister, Alexandra, was found murdered on the farm in 1964. Now, buried in the country, Breen is bored. In London, they are selecting jurors for the Kray brothers trial â here he feels the dead girl all around him; in the place where she was discovered, in the silences around the table and even in the room he sleeps in. Helen seems to be nudging him to take a fresh look at the unsolved crime and, almost without meaning to, Breen finds himself embroiled in an unofficial investigation.

Alexandra was sixteen when she was murdered and one of the suspects was wealthy landowner Jimmy Fletchet, who was friendly with a member of the police, called Milkwood. When Breen returns to London to follow up, he finds that his questions may not only have unearthed some possible leads, but have also scared those involved. Before long, he becomes fascinated by three men, who knew each other long ago in Kenya, during the Mau Mau uprising. This novel will take Breen from going undercover in London clubs, to visiting poetry happenings, to confronting difficult issues about his relationship with the volatile Tozer â as well as unpalatable truths about the British in Kenya. For her unspoken insistence that he look into that crime will unearth secrets from far longer ago than her sisterâs murder, and there will be more death, and personal danger, before the crime is solvedâ

I have to say that I really do love this series. The author has created a very realistic era â he has not glorified, or romanticised, the Sixties in any way. Although students march for change and people insist they can wear, and do, what they like, the reality is somewhat different. Going undercover, Breen is sneered at while using public transport and Tozer feels confined by the expectations of family and society. Everywhere, casual sexism and racism is voiced openly and without censure.

Title: The Soldier's Way

Publisher's Summary:

Daredevil gunrunner Beanie Bogan and suicidal romantic Bruce Whittle become members of the Foreign Legion only to find themselves surrounded by the federal cavalry with no backup.

Members Reviews:

Stunning!

Dane Coolidge, in "The Soldier's Way" has written a winner! Based in the time of Pancho Villa and set under the leadership of General Montano, this book is outstanding.

Sargeant Bogan, recruiter for Montano, did not always use gentle means. Gambling and women were weapons for his efforts, and Bruce Whittle was only one more body in the big picture. $10,000 was the prize but the cost was a long, hard battle for life as the Cavalry rode in pursuit!

Leisure Books, along with the Coolidge estate, has restored this mansuscript from the 1917 draft and gives us a present from the past. Highly recommended.

The Minimum

I love the reprints of old westerns this publisher does, but this book is the absolute minimum. The action from the backcover take up the first fifty pages, and then it is just one long slog across the battlefield.

One the bright side the action never let's up. On the downside, the action is usually so confusing that you have no idea what is going on.

I look at this as the the absolute minimum in publishing -- if you can acquire a manuscript at absolute minimum price, get a blurb written, and hire a small western painting for the cover, it must sell enough units to turn a profit.

Publisher's Summary:

Who Will Be Your Judge is a historical mystery thriller that starts during World War II and continues into the 1960s gangland in London. Two small brothers, Billy and Richard, experience a difficult childhood when growing up in the East End. Evacuated from London during the Blitz, they are sheltered at the House of Nazareth and under the control of some vicious nuns. Life there is so bad that they prefer to go back to the bombs of London.

The war, however, claims the lives of both their parents, and they are rehomed once more at Barnardo's until separated by adoption. George Seagrave adopts Richard and takes him to his family in the country, where Richard has to adapt to strict Victorian rules. Billy is claimed by a poor, childless couple in the East End.

As they grow, Billy's dream of becoming a professional boxer vanishes as he develops epilepsy. Bitter and angry, he gets involved in smash-and-grab raids as he promises himself to get out of poverty. He works his way up to become a club owner in the West End. Richard, now a priest, hears about Billy's raids and tries to persuade his brother to give up that lifestyle. It is only when Billy is asked to clear his grandmother's flat - in which he finds a letter that contains a secret - that everything starts to change for both him and Richard.

This is a very powerful novel about family, war, and gangland culture.

Excellent historical fiction

A dramatic story set in wartime and post-war England. Loved the factual account of London during the war. Intriguing idea of how two brothers can lead such opposing lives. A varied soundtrack of modern and classic music makes this a unique, first if its kind audio novel.
