When city accountant Heinrich Vogel's body is discovered in a molten steel pit, Detective Inspector Sarah Kellner finds something impossible at the crime scene: ledgers documenting a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of Grieford's government. But the real shock comes when she opens the final entry-Vogel has written her name as the only cop who can be trusted, while warning her that her own Commissioner is part of the conspiracy.
Set in the gritty industrial city of Grieford during the Cold War's final decade, BLOOD AND LEDGERS follows DI Kellner as she uncovers an international art theft and money laundering operation that uses medieval manuscripts to hide modern crimes.

Ava Reyes is burnt out, underpaid and overworked and so she walks out on her job, with no regards for what the future holds. When she receives an unexpected job offer from a high paying, elusive firm she accepts, no questions asked. She never expected to fall for her boss, let alone discover he runs the city's most dangerous crime syndicate.

But the deeper she digs, the more she begins to realise that the numbers she's fixing hide bribes, blood money and buried bodies. And the man that's watching her every move? Vincent Fontana isn't just powerful. He's untouchable, calculated and far too interested in her. Their connection is magnetic, completely inappropriate and totally inevitable. When a betrayal that comes from inside the syndicate threatens to break apart the organisation, Ava's loyalty is tested in ways she never saw coming. What begins as survival becomes obsession; with a man that will kill to protect her and a life she never could have imagined she'd find herself living.

The Ebony Table
Detective Inspector Daniel Haven has seen death. But nothing prepares him for the first body on Harrow Lane-laid out peacefully, heart missing, not a single drop of blood spilled. As more bodies appear, each one carefully posed and marked with a strange symbol, Haven begins to see a pattern no one else wants to admit. His search for answers leads him beneath the surface of London, where the elite wear masks, justice is a performance, and tradition is fed with the hearts of the hopeful. At the center of it all sits the Ebon Table-ancient, watching, waiting. Now, Haven must make an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk everything, or wear the mask and become part of the silence. A slow-burn gothic thriller about power, sacrifice, and the price of seeing too much.Complete
