    The Jackal's Teeth You can't outrun what's already inside you. Six months ago, Detective Lucious Marlow died-at least, the part of him that still felt human. After a car crash stole his daughter and left his body broken, he vanished from the force, from the world... and from himself. Now, London bleeds. A sadistic killer known as The Jackal is carving a trail through the city's underbelly-ritualistic, brutal, and methodical. The bodies are piling up. The press is screaming. The cops are useless. They want Lucious back. They think he's the one who can stop it. But Lucious doesn't chase monsters anymore. He hears them. He understands them. And every crime scene feels a little too familiar. Every slash, every symbol, every choice the Jackal makes-it's like looking into a mirror made of blood and teeth. Is he hunting a killer? Or remembering one? In the city's darkest corners-amid gang hideouts, cigarette smoke, and whispered threats-Lucious is about to discover the truth: To catch the Jackal... he may have to become him. Please report any action of copying and piracy, help stop the spread. This book is my original idea and mine alone.

    Devante Maxwell - a man of justice by day, a shadow by night. In the heart of England, where law and cruelty intertwine, a quiet storm brews behind a polished smile. He walks among the righteous, yet monsters fear his name in the dark. A girl with haunted eyes, a past consumed by fire, and a heart that beats for the man who cannot feel. Justice. Vengeance. Obsession. The line blurs. The shadows watch. And some sins can only be washed away with blood

    In the fog-choked shadows of 1960s London, Bruce Reynolds-a cunning East End thief with a hunger for greatness-orchestrates the heist of the century: the Great Train Robbery. On a moonless night in August 1963, Reynolds and his crew of hardened criminals strike the Royal Mail train at Bridego Bridge, making off with £2.6 million-an audacious haul that shocks the nation and cements their names in infamy. But as the coppers close in, the thrill of victory turns to the dread of survival. The Mastermind's Escape follows Reynolds through the chaotic aftermath, from the tense hours at Leatherslade Farm-where the crew counts their loot amid rising paranoia-to his five-year odyssey as a fugitive. Fleeing across Europe and beyond, from the gray streets of Belgium to the sun-soaked shores of Mexico and the glittering Riviera, Reynolds reinvents himself under false names, always one step ahead of Interpol's relentless pursuit. With his family in tow and his fortune dwindling, the weight of his choices bears down-every knock at the door a potential end, every whisper a threat. This gritty tale of ambition and consequence paints Reynolds as both a brilliant strategist and a haunted man, chasing freedom while running from his own legend. Through smoky backrooms, daring escapes, and the quiet moments of exile, the story captures the price of pulling off the impossible. When the law finally catches up in 1968, Reynolds faces the bars of Aylesbury Prison, his legacy secured but his freedom lost. A thrilling blend of historical drama and noir, The Mastermind's Escape is a testament to the allure of the perfect crime-and the inescapable shadow it casts.
