The Long Shot

High stakes gambling, murder and cricket. An unlikely mix? Perhaps in the genteel days of games on the village green, but not so now. The introduction of sports betting has changed the game for players and fans alike. 

Millions change hands with every match. As the financial incentive grows, so too does the temptation to cheat. 

Perhaps even to commit murder?

A brilliant young South African batsman, Winston Olonga, is assassinated in a Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Enter Lucas Fox, commentator and private eye, who witnesses the killing and sets out to find the culprit.

As Adam discovers, just one simple ticket can change your fate forever.

The Lost Love

Who or what is to blame?

The Man who Cleaned Gravestones

Why would a retired detective be cleaning gravestones? Bob Macinaly had to retire from the job he loved after having been shot by a bank robber. He had taken a holiday in Mallorca trying to get his life back together. By chance, he found himself in a Salvation Army charity shop and purchased a second-hand book. A letter hidden inside changed his life forever. As a police officer he moved from one case to another and very seldom could he follow up on the unseen victims left behind, namely the close families who would suffer forever whilst the convicted murderer would live out life in, some would say, comparative luxury.

From now on this would be different; he would become close to human trafficking and the evil controllers and the crime lords making millions at the cost of human lives.

The Oblivious Pool

Most murders don’t require a memory inspection of every passenger on board a train. But then most murders don’t happen aboard the Manchester to London express. When Marshall Sullivan finds himself investigating the killing of a high-profile criminal, it’s clear not all those on-board are who they claim to be.

A businessman with investments in memory tech, a Frenchwoman and a fellow officer do nothing to sooth his nerves. But when even his own memories are foggy, Sullivan begins to wonder if he’s not the one being investigated.

But then Cathy is a young journalist with enough money troubles to go after any story, no matter how costly. Animal abuse isn’t something London Bobbies take lightly, but if a plucky journalist can get the scoop before they show up, then what’s the harm in that?

The five Rehman daughters have to grow up fast, looking after their newly born baby brother while at the same time adhering to their father's strict rules.

While one daughter, Saleena, discovers that the marriage her father arranged for her is loveless and abusive, her brother Abdel dabbles in western habits and needs to keep his private life secret.
