All alone and thirsting for adventure, Shayna follows the clues to North Carolina where she assembles a band of drug-dealing pirates to wage war on a murderous mayor and his blood-thirsty biker gang.

As the bodies pile up, Shayna wonders if Ruzzo will find her before she ends up in Davy Jones’ Locker.

Praise for Crossed Bones:

“Crossed Bones introduces readers to a cast of deliciously flawed characters, all of whom pursue questionable agendas by sketchy means. S.W. Lauden captures the complexity of human morality in a fast-paced tale of greed, manipulation, and obsession.” —J.J. Hensley, author of Resolve, Measure Twice, and Chalk's Outline.

She has learned not to hope for much more, until the day she glimpses, for the first time, the chance of a new life.

But what if freedom for Bridget means grave danger for Francis?

In A Traitor in the Family, bestselling author, Nicholas Searle, tells a story of shocking, intimate betrayal. Can a treacherous act of the most personal kind ever be, in this darkly violent world, an act of mercy?

From Freight Books

A woman’s corpse is discovered near a Welsh community. Harry Probert-Lloyd has returned

home from London and is preparing to inherit his father’s work as magistrate – but is also

slowly going blind. He suspects the remains belong to the love of his life, Margaret Jones, who

disappeared seven years before. He pushes for an inquest but, thwarted, undertakes his own

investigation, supported by childhood friend and local solicitor, John Davies.

Cardiganshire still suffers the aftermath of the infamous Beca riots, where men dressed as

women, attacking and destroying newly constructed tollbooths. Are the Becas responsible and

where is the firebrand leader and clergyman Nathanial Howell? Will Harry unpick the conflicts

and lies at the heart of the community before more fall victim to the ruthless

killer?

Meticulously researched, None So Blind is a wholly authentic evocation of a fascinating but

neglected historical period as well as a complex and deeply satisfying crime thriller where

nothing is as it seems.
