The Island Murders
When property surveyor and treasure hunter Sam Peters visits the Isle of Wight, the locals are surprised when he literally strikes gold… only to be murdered soon afterwards. The case is given to keen-minded Hampshire-based Detective Inspector Bruno Peach, who - as always - seeks the assistance of his trusty sidekick, headmistress Janet Gibson to bring the killer to justice. Together they seem to be unravelling the mystery piece by piece, but little do they know that their investigations will soon see an older unsolved local killing resurrected from the grave. This fantastic page-turner of a murder mystery is the latest release from much-loved and critically acclaimed author James London, who brings his usual fresh and unique style to this popular genre. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers, including fans of traditional British detective fare and those who have either holidayed in or live on the beautiful island.

Private London
____________________________ Sometimes, when the nightmare ends, the terror is only just beginning... For Hannah Shapiro, a beautiful young American student, this particular nightmare began eight years ago in Los Angeles, when Jack Morgan, owner of Private - the world's most exclusive detective agency - saved her from a horrific death.

The terror has followed her to London, and now it is down to former Royal Military Police Sergeant Dan Carter, head of Private London, to save her all over again.

Private may be the largest and most advanced detection agency in the world, but the only thing they don't have is the one thing they need - time.
Gangland
The spectacular trial of the high-profile Kray brothers blew the lid off the London Underworld of the 1950s and 60s. But what of the great city's gangland before and since? In this comprehensive and thoroughly researched history of London's secret life, James Morton exposes some startling conclusions about exactly who lurked - and still lurks - in the powerhouses of the Underworld. From the Dover Road Gang of the 1880s to the era of the Krays and up to the Triads and Yardies of the present, GANGLAND reveals the people who ruled, robed and regulated vast areas of the capital - and those who hold ominous power today. Fascinating accounts are recorded - many from contemporaries of the controllers of vice in Soho, of contract killers, bank robbers, drug dealers, grasses and supergrasses - and of the crooked police officers and lawyers who helped them perpetuate the Underworld structure.
