"If you can find a first impression, hoard it and wait till it rises in value like a first edition of 'Lord of the Rings'. This is as good." Crime Time UK The Tower of London, 1536, and the expert swordsman, Jean Rombaud, is brought from France by Henry VIII to behead his wife, Anne Boleyn. Yet on the eve of her execution Jean swears a vow to the fabled, ill-fated queen - to bury her six-fingered hand, symbol of her rumoured witchery, at a sacred crossroads. But in a Europe ravaged by religious war, the hand of this infamous Protestant icon is so powerful a relic that many will kill to have it... including Giancarlo Cibo, Alchemist and Archbishop of Siena. Stealing the hand, he leaves Jean for dead. Gathering a group of heroic misfits, Jean pursues his quest across a continent. Through battle and betrayal, from clashing blades aboard slave galleys to a black mass in a dungeon, from the hallucinations of St. Anthony's Fire to the besieged fortress of an apocalyptic Messiah, Jean seeks to honor his vow. "Thrilling, funny... painfully poignant." Independent on Sunday, UK

When the game is rumbled, he sends their hitman, Mr Phipps, to kill Severin and get those books back.For a simple man, Severin has a complicated life. He's developed a sudden and wild passion for Lottie - aka 'chaos on two legs'. Who is in love with Patrick, the next hot young black actor. Who is obsessed by Sonya, a gorgeous Russian escort. Who has one night to make the final money she needs for her daughter's cancer operation. With MI6 onto them, and the books missing, the Shadows panic. And a day that begins with a hit in Finchley ends in violence and betrayal on the steamy night streets of Portobello.ONE LONDON DAY is a daisy chain tale of characters and connections, a contemporary London Noir. Like that genre's 40's origins, this story has its hood, its moll, its femme fatale, its fancy boy. Everyone is both protagonist and antagonist. No one gets out unharmed - and some don't get out at all.

Four sides. Two battles. One War. As the world begins to learn how divided it really is, a small group of immortals must come together to save... everything.

Fascinující příběh knížete a válečníka. DRÁKULA. Jméno, které v nás vyvolává představu hrůzy, zvrhlosti a temné smyslnosti. Skutečný Drákula byl však stejně fascinující jako děsivý a jeho životní příběh plný rozporů není příběhem nějaké nestvůry, ale příběhem člověka. Nepřátelé mu přezdívali „Tepeš“ — Napichovač. Stal se z něj národní hrdina.V zimě roku 1431 se narodil transylvánskému knížeti a otec ho pokřtil jménem „Vlad“, mezi lidmi se mu ale začalo říkat „Drakův syn“. V dějinách proslul jako Drákula. Tento román vypráví o skutečném životě muže, jenž se stal předlohou světoznámého mýtu. Vypráví o princi, válečníkovi, milenci, mučiteli, bojovníkovi a v neposlední řadě hrdinovi. Jeho pozoruhodný život překypuje vášní. Několik let byl zajatcem Turků, prošel mučením, bitvami, vítězstvím i zradou, ale až při svém posledním tažení, pod prapory Draka a Kříže, našel vykoupení za své nesčetné hříchy. C. C. Humphreys je autor 8 románů, z nichž jeden byl nominován na cenu CWA Steel Dagger.
