A corrupt wealthy industrialist is found dead. When his family shed crocodile tears, DCI Blizzard turns the screw.

The closure of the Smarts factory in a northern industrial city put many people out of work. Nothing was ever proven, but suspicions of serious financial corruption were rife. So when the aged owner is found dead in his home, DCI John Blizzard seizes the opportunity to investigate further.

When natural causes are ruled out and a murder inquiry is opened, Dennis Smart’s family are the obvious suspects. Yet each has an alibi, and when the net is widened, any number of the former factory employees might have sufficient motive.

The subsequent investigation centres on a small group of left-wing dropouts who are locals in a backstreet pub. Will Detective Chief Inspector Blizzard ferret them out? And will he collar them for the crime? Or is he being led up the garden path whilst the real killer gets off scot free?

A Breach of Trust is a page-turner full of twists that will keep you guessing until the very end. It is also available in paperback.

Lost in Wildwood by Jason Ryan Dale

Joshua has been a thief all his life. The biggest score he’s ever seen just fell into his lap. There are stacks of cash in a backroom practically waiting for the right crew to grab them. The planning and preparation have been painstaking, but years in the game have brought Joshua to this moment . . . and he’s ready!

So why is there a knot in his stomach whenever Joshua wakes up in the morning? Maybe it’s because the job breaks every rule that has kept him safe all these years. It involves guns, shady partners, and powerful people who don’t appreciate getting robbed. Or it could be the beautiful girl who’s bringing out feelings Joshua thought were just for other people. The girl who’s making him wonder if there’s something more to life than just the next score.

Only two weeks to get everything set. When the big night comes, bullets fly and friends become enemies. This job is going to end in a test of all Joshua’s skills, and a reckoning with all his demons.

About the Author
Geraldine Evans is a British novelist. She turned indie in 2010 after many years and eighteen novels in the traditional publishing world. She is the author of two mystery series: The now 18-strong Rafferty & Llewellyn Mystery Series and the 2-strong Casey & Catt Mystery Series, as well as an historical novel about Mary Rose, the little sister of King Henry VIII, Gentle Romance and Romantic Suspense.

Apart from her novels, she’s also had non-fiction published in numerous magazines, on subjects as varied as historical biography of people and places (Horatio Nelson, Nurse Edith Cavell, Whitehall Palace), New Age (Palmistry and Your Love Life, Astrology and Your Writing Life).

Her dream for years was to be a published novelist, a dream she achieved in 1991, after six failed novels. Her ambition, after traditionally publishing eighteen novels, was to earn a living as a writer. It took turning indie to do it, but she now works full-time as an author.

She spent most of her life in London (UK), where she was born and brought up, the youngest of four children, but moved to a market town in Norfolk (UK) in 2000, with her late husband.
