RANT by Alfie Crow

ISBN-10: 1901888886

Introducing the first in a series about the antics and misadventures of Mike Rant, jobbing actor and reluctant spy

For fans of Colin Bateman and Christopher Brookmyre

‘Whilst the following story is completely true, I have slightly changed my own identity in order to avoid prosecution and/or violent death – or, at the very least, a good kicking. Not that any of the events contained herein were my fault – or at least none of the important ones. Or only some of them. 

Unless you include obtaining money under false pretences. Or the borrowing of various motor vehicles without permission. Or perverting the course of justice. Or the thing about interfering with the dead guy. But I was desperate at the time. 

That came out all wrong. No, wait, if you’d just let me explain…’

Behind Closed Doors by Michael Donovan

Private Investigator Eddie Flynn is having a bad day

For fans of Michael Connelly and Jonathan Kellerman

There’s an instinct all investigators share: the lure of the curious. We’re like collectors rummaging through the shadowy corners of a bric-a-brac shop; we just can’t resist intrigue when it pops up.

PI Eddie Flynn is having a bad day. When some snot-nosed kid barges in with a story about a missing girl, it doesn’t get any better – especially since Rebecca Slater’s parents say nothing’s wrong.

Problem is, the family are telling lies.

Before he knows it, Flynn’s following a trail that leads out of the Slaters’ mansion and straight into the gutter.

Down among the rats Rebecca’s not the only girl who’s missing – and in a game where there’s no such thing as coincidence, how long will it be before Flynn disappears too?

Under pressure to find the missing child, he finds himself struggling to stay emotionally removed from the case and from Abby herself. Beth is not found and the case turns cold.

To Catch a Rabbit by Helen Cadbury

A gripping story of migrants, love and the sex trade

For fans of Louise Welsh and Karin Fossum

Two young boys stumble upon the body of a dead prostitute. She’s on PCSO Sean Denton’s patch. He’s already way out of his depth, but soon he’s uncovering more than he’s supposed to know.

Meanwhile Karen Friedman, professional mother of two, learns her brother has disappeared. She desperately needs to know he’s safe, but once she starts looking, she discovers unexpected things about her own needs and desires.

In this gripping story of migrants, love and the sex trade, Karen and Sean’s enquiries begin to throw up the same names. Played out against a gritty landscape on the edge of a Northern town, both of them risk losing all they hold precious.
