The Girl on the Burning Boatby Gregg Dunnett

Someone put her father in his grave. But they didn’t bury his secrets…

Alice is the smart and beautiful daughter of a powerful businessman. She lives a charmed life – until her father is killed in a tragic accident.

Then she meets Jamie, a young man from a very different background, who has evidence that her father met a much darker end.

Together they embark upon a search for the truth, delving into the murky background of Alice’s family fortune. What they discover leads Alice to question everything about her father – and herself. But it also turns them into targets.

Because whoever put Alice’s father in his grave, meant his secrets to die with him. And now they’re scrambling to bury them deep. Along with anyone who gets in their way.

Can Alice unearth the truth before it’s too late? Or will her judgement be clouded by her increasingly strong attraction to Jamie?

With everyone around her lying, she must pick someone to trust. But get it wrong, and her next move will be her last.

The Girl on the Burning Boat – is the third story in The Sinister Coast Collection – a set of four standalone novels by Gregg Dunnett. Four unique and full-length stories, linked by their dark undertones and their connection to the British coast.

Debussy’s Slippersby Steve Exeter

George Gershwin thinks he could do better, better than Broadway.

Ira Gershwin disagrees, why get funny ideas about writing po-faced Piano Concertos that no one hears, when you’re already getting much respect and much money (and much female attention) from writing hit shows? But what George wants George gets, and soon the brothers are travelling to Europe to meet French maestro Maurice Ravel – you know, a real composer.

Despite dreading this American invasion on his artistic privacy, the haughty Ravel warms to George, the two men share musical ideas and beaucoup du vin. It all turns sour when George returns to New York, unintentionally carrying in his luggage Ravel’s most treasured possession: a pair of slippers that belonged to Ravel’s musical forefather, the French national hero – Claude Debussy.

Now, Debussy’s slippers may reek, they may look slightly ridiculous, but their inspirational power is undeniable. Once George feels their effect, he’s loath to return them, and sets about stalling an increasingly irate Ravel. Things come to a head when Ravel unexpectedly returns Gershwin’s visit.

NORTH KOREA DECEPTIONby RICHARD LYNTTON

Can a reporter who hates corruption…

Is he being setup?

Jack survived the first Gulf War, Bosnia, and his time as a UN Peacekeeper. As a captain and tank commander, he saw the dark side of war. Skilled in language, he speaks Russian, German, French, and Bosnian. That’s why they sent him.

Two UN Officials had gone missing.

They were last seen in the Tumen Triangle.

A 324-mile river that borders Russia, China, and North Korea, it’s a place few Westerners have heard of or understand. It would be a prize-winning story if he could crack it. Sometimes fate puts a person where they need to be and then he saw the child fall beneath the ice.

When Steele rescued the boy, it was the first domino to fall.

Would it lead to North Korea launching a nuclear missile?

You’ll love this adrenaline rush of an international thriller because it has twists, turns, an impossible romance, and one difficult choice. How does the puzzle fit together?

Get it now.
