entrails and blood.
With a deranged serial killer on the loose,
Detective Sergeant Dan Carroll and his new partner Detective Constable
Samuel Grant find themselves trawling the seedy side of London in search
of a brutal killer who preys on prostitutes.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Northern Light by Catherine Winchester
Sometimes described as the female Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell's classic
novel, North and South, dealt with issues of class, feminism, social
reform and the plight of the working classes, entwining those themes
seamlessly with a timeless romance between Margaret Hale and John
Thornton. Northern Light is a continuation of that novel which sees John
and Margaret embarking on their lives together whilst working to
improve the lives of their work force.
With the threat of
another strike, a series of bad mill accidents, a lethal fire and failed
speculation, life in Milton is not easy for anyone and it won't be long
before the mill masters and their workers clash once more, with
devastating consequences.
Getting married and starting a family
is difficult enough at the best of times but for John and Margaret,
married life will present unique challenges and despite the reforms they
are making, even they will not escape Milton's troubles unscathed.
