We'll be publishing Pills & Soap, the 2nd book in DDC Morgan's Reg Calloway series on Friday 27th August - here we present an extended extract to whet your appetite.   CHAPTER ONE When the phone rang, Calloway sat bolt upright in the old iron bed. The sheet clung to his back. It was soaked with sweat. He’d been dreaming again, the dream from the war. He looked at the clock. It was one in the morning. The shrill bell of the phone pierced his skull. He wanted to ignore it, go back to sleep, hope this time he wouldn’t...

We've just published DEATH AT DUKES HALT, the latest Danny Bird mystery from Fahrenheit stalwart Derek Farrell. Here we present a little taster to whet your reading appetite...   CHAPTER ONE “Absolutely not.” I stared at my best friend in horror.

Deathbeds - the new book in Tony R. Cox's popular Simon Jardine Investigates series is published on 30th April and today we're giving you a sneak preview with this exclusive extended extract...

He’d cut through the maze of streets lined by redbrick terraced houses, once the cramped homes of coal miners and their families, and hurried down the long road from the market at the top of the town to the bridge over the canal’s scummy water.
