<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Murder Exchange</i> <p/>When ex-mercenary Max Iversson agreed to provide security for nightclub owner Roy Fowler, he never expected a bloodbath. Three men have been shot, the briefcase Iversson was guarding is empty...and now he wants to know why. So begins a dangerous hunt for answers that will take him into direct conflict with Detective Sergeant John Gallan, who is investigating the mysterious death of one of Fowler's doormen, and toward a confrontation that neither is likely to escape unscathed. <p/><i>The Business of Dying</i> <p/>Cynical and jaded, Detective Sergeant Dennis Milne earns money on the side by doing what he does best: punishing the bad guys. But this time he's been duped and instead of blowing away drug dealers, he kills three innocent men, setting off a war of morality that could leave him broken, or worse...dead.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I love this book...it blasts through the London underworld like a cigarette boat on the Thames." --<i>Lee Child, bestselling author of Persuader</i> <p/>"Murderous thugs, heartless babes, bent cops, sex, sadism...compulsively readable." --<i>Kirkus Reviews (starred review)</i> <p/>"Manages to adhere to the best fair-play traditions of classic murder mysteries while spinning a highly untraditional tale." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Taut, gripping, disturbing---a most assured and original debut." --<i>Reginald Hill, author of Dialogues of the Dead</i> <p/>"Impressive...Nicely plotted and briskly paced, with a voice not unlike James M.
