Killing Tomorrow (Evolution's Path Book 1) by Peter Hill (71 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

"Author Peter Hill is a visionary storyteller. With a background in law enforcement and screenwriting, he brings us a narrative that's every bit as prescient and authentic as tomorrow's headlines. He does it with razor-sharp prose, and he isn't afraid to tackle ambitious themes here: feminism, globalisation, environmentalism." There is a fine line between genius and insanity. In this dangerously overpopulated world, terrorism and fanaticism reach boiling point. Against a background of terrorist plots, political intrigue and espionage, the lives of three powerful women become inextricably entwined. Fleur Nichols, a beautiful and astute investigative journalist, Wenna Cavendish, an ambitious senior MI5 officer and Simone Gofre, a brilliant lesbian virologist, leave their marks on world events and a stunning revelation will change the course of human history forever. This apocalyptic thriller takes place in the near future, it isn't science fiction, it's 'faction', and all the more chilling because you won't find zombies here, or people suddenly endowed with superpowers, just a cast of realistic characters struggling with the challenging events that overtake their lives. Can any of the women survive to fight on and escape the disaster looming over humankind? Killing Tomorrow, the first book in the Evolution's Path series, is an international terrorist thriller with a fast-moving storyline that alternates between Britain, America, Pakistan and New Zealand. Although part of a series, this book is also a satisfactory stand-alone story, and it's absolutely perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton or Margaret Atwood.

The Hunters (A Crime Thriller) 'To follow... the brilliantly inspired tracking of Hill's two detectives is a joy, apart from the brain-teasing pleasure of accepting the author's challenge to identify the murderer.' London Evening News 'Staunton walked out into the field. He stopped about twenty yards in, squatted down on his haunches and stared at the ditch where the girl's body had been found. Then he was motionless for a while, absorbing the details of the place, picturing it in darkness, the girl, her screams muffled by the murderer's hand, being dragged along the inside of the hedge, struggling madly in the last moments of her life. He picked up a clod of dry earth, broke it in his hand and let the soil trickle through his fingers. He spoke out loud, aiming his words at his unknown quarry, 'I'm going to get you, you bastard,' he said.' It is 1975 and there are no sophisticated aids to help shrewd and earthy Chief-Superintendent Staunton of Scotland Yard's Murder Squad and his amorous young assistant, Detective Inspector Wyndsor when they arrive in a time-warped East Anglian village in the east of England to investigate the death of a local girl. While most of the villagers are silently doing their best to hinder the enquiry, including the unhelpful local squire and his glamorous but sinister daughter, Wyndsor makes a shocking discovery -- a black magic chapel, which had as its altarpiece a huge phallus. This is a place where old ways still hold sway, where animosities are pursued through the generations and where outsiders are viewed with the utmost suspicion. Here the murderer lives, embedded in this introverted society. On several occasions as the search proceeds the reader is aware that they are looking at the murderer -- without the possibility of identification -- and it becomes increasingly certain that he will kill again unless Staunton and Wyndsor can hunt him down.

DAISY MORROW Super-sleuth!: The Root of All Evil: Book One of the Daisy Morrow series, a Cozy Mystery with a wicked side! by R T Green (Wise Owl) (386 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

An innocent rosebush, uprooted in the middle of the night, reveals a horrific secret. Determined to bring those responsible to justice, Daisy embarks on a dangerous trail that grows darker and darker with each unexpected turn. Essentially-English, almost-certainly quirky, and definitely a little crazy, come and meet our Norfolk-based R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, and find out why she's such a hit with readers of all ages. "One of the best cozy mysteries I've ever read!" "A real breath of fresh literary air!" Retirement to a sleepy East-Anglian village doesn't go quite as Daisy hoped, after a seemingly- insignificant event triggers something very significant indeed. A mystery to solve is the last thing she expects to stumble across in a sleepy village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk. To her surprise she's adapted to country life quite well, although she rather unkindly refers to the beautiful village of Great Wiltingham as the 'place people go to wilt'. According to Daisy, nothing is ever quite what it seems. In her case, that's the truest thing ever spoken. She's nothing like a pensioner is supposed to be. It could be something to do with the career she had before retiring... or perhaps because she wishes she'd never had to leave it behind at all. For some strange reason, trouble seems to follow her around. It's been a peaceful twelve months settling into village life, but that's about to come to an abrupt end... 'The Root of all Evil' is the first book in the long-running Daisy Morrow series. Check out the entire series on the new rtgreen website. While you're there, have a look at our 1920's historical series too, 'The Sandie Shaw Mysteries'. Take a break from the world around you, just for a while. Relax with a smile (or a cringe) and a truly original story. Enjoy!
