River-Trent-Bridge, by Alex Gerlis.
Fifteen years after the end of the Second World War, the past finally catches up with a Nazi spy in England.

PQ18, by Matthew Willis.

Praise for Timothy Ashby: 'An enthralling adventure which easily stands comparison with giants of the genre.’ Peter Tonkin, author of Shadow of Treason

Praise for Alan Bardos: ‘With its war-damaged, womanising, loose cannon of an anti-hero, Johnny Swift, The Dardanelles Conspiracy vividly captures the flux and uncertainty – as well as the horror – of war.’ R.N. Morris, bestselling author of A Gentle Axe

Praise for Mark Ellis: 'Masterly . . . compelling . . . one of the most attractive characters to emerge in recent detective-thriller fiction' Andrew Roberts, Sunday Times Bestseller.

Praise for Alex Gerlis: ‘A promising new series.’ Financial Times

Praise for Allan Martin: ‘Allan Martin’s writing is a masterclass in crime fiction.’ Marion Todd

Praise for Deborah Swift: Swift is a consummate historical novelist, basing her books on immaculate research and then filling the gaps between real events and real people with eloquent storytelling, atmospheric scene setting and imaginative plot lines.' The Visitor

Praise for Matthew Willis: ‘A remarkable insight into the doubts and fears of a fighter pilot, contrasting relentless action with cool post-combat de-briefs.’ Frank Barnard
