The Accident Man
Meet the Accident Man. Samuel Carver makes bad things happen to bad
people. He was once a Royal Marine. Now he’s freelance, the frontline
weapon of the Consortium, a group so secretive even he does not
know the true identities of the people who command him. But now
Carver wants to quit. He’s had enough of death. Then he’s sent on one
last hit, planned at extremely short notice. The target, they say, is a
high-ranking terrorist. The means is a car crash in a Paris underpass.
The whole job is a set-up. When he discovers his victim is the world’s
most famous woman, he becomes the next target. He knows too much.

The Point in the Market
It’s World War I. Britain has ruled Egypt since 1881 under a shadow
government headed by its Agent and Consul General. The head of the
Secret Police is the Mamur Zapt, an office currently held by a
Welshman, Captain Gareth Cadwallader Owen. And as the clouds of
the war further darken Egypt’s sun-lit skies, he has his hands full. On
the professional front, there’s all that commotion that started in Cairo’s
Camel Market. On the personal side, Owen has married his longtime
lover, the lovely Pasha’s daughter, Zeinab, a move with serious
consequences for both of them and riddled with political and social
pitfalls. Neither can be fully accepted by the other’s culture and
community. Against this, the perils of the Great War pale....

The Missing Person's Guide To Love
When Julia Smith vanished without a trace, it had a devastating impact
on her two best childhood friends. After Julia’s disappearance, Isabel
and Owen found solace in each other’s company until a reckless act of
arson separated the two friends forever. Years later, Isabel returns to
her home town in the north of England for Owen’s funeral. She hadn’t
seen him since they were teenagers and over the years has come to
suspect that Owen was responsible for Julia’s murder. Isabel, estranged
from her parents and returning to a place she thought she’d escaped
forever, hopes finally to find some kind of resolution. Though as Isabel’s
world unravels, we finally realise the stunning, shattering truth.
