Siobhan MacGowan - The Trial
of Lotta Rae
Lotta Rae is a young working-class woman who is viciously attacked
by a wealthy gentleman. Lotta's family are firm believers in justice, so Lotta
makes the brave decision to testify in court against her attacker. The
guardians of justice support her, or so it seems.
Notorious after her trial and unable to return to the life she had before her attack, Lotta's quest for her own form of justice takes her from the streets of Spitalfields to a Soho brothel, into the heart of the Suffragette movement, to an unimaginable place. One she could never have foreseen.
Amen Alonge - A Good Day to Die
Meet Pretty Boy. It's been
ten years since he left the big city - today he's back. No one knows why, but
it's clear that revenge is on his mind: he is determined to make the person
responsible for his exile from the London scene finally pay. But his plans seem
derailed when he takes possession of a bracelet, unaware that its original
owner has set a high price for its safe return. Suddenly, the hunter becomes
the hunted and Pretty Boy will have to find out if it is indeed a 'good day to
die'.
Robert Gold - Twelve Secrets
Ben Harper's
life changed for ever the day his older brother Nick was murdered by two
classmates. It was a crime that shocked the nation and catapulted Ben's family
and their idyllic hometown, Haddley, into the spotlight. Twenty years on, Ben
is one of the best investigative journalists in the country and settled back in
Haddley, thanks to the support of its close-knit community. But then a fresh
murder case shines new light on his brother's death and throws suspicion on
those closest to him. Ben is about to discover that in Haddley no one is as
they seem. Everyone has something to hide.
