"With every passing hour, Kezia Ashcroft moved further away from home and closer towards the city where she would most likely die."

In a city full of crime, violence and corruption, a young woman disappears. Her mother was a prostitute. Her best friend is an ecstasy dealer. Her cousin is a violent hooligan and shady businessman. There are many grim possibilities as to what could have happened to Kezia Ashcroft.

When Simon Kershaw, a brilliant yet troubled probation officer learns of Kezia's disappearance, he decides to investigate knowing that no one else will. Yet with only the three words: "MHC", "JASPER" and "DONEGAL" to guide him, Simon must race against time while battling his own demons to find Kezia before it is too late.

From the intriguing prologue and head-scratching mystery, to the pulse-pounding action and heart-wrenching conclusion, My Cousin's Crusade is a novel unlike anything which came before it.

The elder twin, she has turned herself into a ruthless hunter, eliminating those responsible for her family's destruction. Her fists speak where words fail, and her blade delivers the justice the law never could. Serra Valtore is the ghost in the machine. A hacking genius, she operates from the darkness, feeding Ezra everything she needs-security codes, enemy locations, and clean escape routes. She does not fight with fists, but with data, weaving digital chaos to ensure their enemies fall. Years ago, the Valtore twins had everything-a loving home, a bright future. Until one night changed everything. Their parents, innocent of any crime except standing in the mafia's way, were executed in cold blood. The sisters, barely teenagers, were left broken, forced to watch as the world moved on without justice. But grief did not break them. It rebuilt them. Now, they live for one purpose-to hunt down the mafia responsible and erase them, one by one. Ezra delivers death with precision, while Serra ensures their tracks remain invisible. Each kill brings them closer to the ultimate target-the elusive mafia lord who orchestrated their parents' murder. But the road to vengeance is never simple. Their actions have not gone unnoticed, and someone is watching them closely. Xavvar Blaze, a sharp-witted detective, has begun piecing together the pattern behind the string of mafia deaths. He is determined to uncover the force behind the killings, unaware that the truth will entangle him in a web of deception, fury, and an unexpected connection to the woman he is hunting. The game has begun. The hunt is on. And for Ezra and Serra Valtore, there is no turning back.
