The Dispatcher
The phone rings. It's your daughter. She's been dead for four months. Ian Hunt is the police dispatcher for the small town of Bulls Mouth, East Texas. Just as his shift is ending he gets a call from his fourteen-year-old daughter, Maggie. Maggie, who has just been declared dead, having been snatched from her bedroom seven years ago. Her call ends in a scream. The trail leads to a local couple, but this is just the start of his battle to get his daughter back. What follows is a bullet-strewn cross-country chase along Interstate 10, from Texas to California. The riveting novel from the acclaimed author of Acts of Violence and Low Life is a brilliantly original, blood drenched thriller, about the lengths a man will go to for his daughter.

Low Life
When Simon Johnson is attacked in his LA apartment, he knows he must defend himself or die. Turning on the lights after the scuffle, Simon realises he has killed his attacker and the resemblance of the man to himself is uncanny. He embarks on a gripping existential investigation, into his own murky past, and that of Jeremy Shackleford, the (apparently) happily married maths teacher whose body is now lying in Simon's bathtub under forty gallons of ice.
