The Pay Back.......

Dennis Milne is a man with a past, and a past that involves murder. A former cop, he's earned his living killing the bad guys – drug-dealers, corrupt business men - people who, in his opinion, deserve to die. For the past two days, he's been in Manila, waiting for his next target: a young woman who's made herself some poor life-choices, and some even worse enemies.
DI Tina Boyd is a woman on a mission. Tough, spiky and determined, she's looking for the man she holds responsible for the death of her lover. She knows he's ruthless. She knows he's dangerous. But he's in Manila, and she's determined to find and kill him – before he kills her.
Two cops with pasts that haunt them - and a present that could see them both dead. They are about to meet. And when they do, it's payback time...

Target

When writer Rob Fallon gets drunk one night and ends up joining his best-friend's girlfriend, Jenny, in her apartment in London's West End, he's feeling guilty before anything's even happened. But guilt quickly turns to shock when two men break into the apartment, abduct Jenny, and try to kill Rob.
But when Rob reports the abduction to the police no one believes him. Jenny's father claims she's on holiday abroad, her apartment appears untouched, and the doorman didn't see or hear anything.
Rob can't let things lie - not with Jenny's life in danger. But when he starts asking questions, he finds himself the target of killers . But what is it they're so desperate to hide? And what does it have to do with an ordinary girl like Jenny? Either Rob finds out, or he's dead. It's that simple ...

Deadline

It's evening, you're back late from work – and the house is in darkness.
You step inside, and the phone rings. You answer it - and your world turns upside down.
Your fourteen-year-old daughter's been taken, and her kidnappers demand half a million pounds in cash. They give you 48 hours to raise the money, and warn you that if you call the police, she'll die.
Trying desperately to remain calm, you realise that your husband – the man you married only two years previously – is also missing.
But he can't be involved in your daughter's abduction. Or can he?
As your nightmare begins, you can be certain of only two things: that you will do anything to get your daughter back alive - and that time is running out...


The Crime Tide

When Operation Surgical Strike goes horribly wrong, suspicion quickly falls on one of the officers involved: Stegs Jenner. No ordinary undercover cop, Stegs is a man who's always lived life on the edge.
Now he decides to go it alone.
DI John Gallan and his partner DS Tina Boyd are part of the subsequent investigation to bring Stegs to justice.

What they cannot know is that their enquiries will take both of them into the heart of one of London's most notorious criminal gangs - and one of them into the rifle sights of the enemy.


A Good Day to Die 

His best friend has been brutally executed, and Milne wants to know who did it – and why.
But London is a dangerous place, especially for a man on his own.

And although his former colleagues don't know Milne's back in town, it soon becomes clear there are people who do. And that they'll stop at nothing to get him out of the way.
From the beaches of the Philippines to the mean streets of London, a hunt for justice becomes a terrifying battle for survival.
