George R. R. Washington

In Too Deep

Eric Sykes

Sparks and Miller, two reluctant Desert Rats, were trying desperately to have a quiet war, but despite all of their efforts, they somehow manage to become front-page heroes. No matter what they do they come up smelling of roses.

Smelling Of Roses

David Southwell

There was once only one Mafia, now every country seems to have its own. Until fairly recently gangsters kept to their territories, but crime - like every other business - has been quick to take advantage of the global economy. Business, it seems, is good, with over $150 billion laundered each year in Europe alone. London crime firms sell Lebanese heroin provided by Turkish gangs, Colombian cocaine obtained from Nigeria, and crack produced by Jamaican Yardies. Arrangements with the Mafia, the Triads, the Yakuza, the Russian Mafiya and the South American cartels allow a tide of misery to enter the UK through the back door. 
 
Dirty Cash looks at modern organised crime, from the street gangs whose daily business includes drug dealing, prostitution and robbery, through to the gigantic organisations behind it all. The vicious war between crime and law enforcement is raging all around us, and it's a war we can't afford to lose.

Dirty Cash

Aran Ashe

Chosen to live a life according to discipline and subservience, the young Justine is introduced to a succession of lovers - each one having favourite methods of taking pleasure from her willing body. Pleasure which is often found through the demands of pain and submission. 
 
Presided over by her strict guardian, Julia, we follow Justine's initiation into a world of obedience, dominated by the less-than-genteel ladies and gentleman of the Edwardian well-to-do. 
 
Aran Ashe is also known for his popular series Chronicles of Lidir: Sagas of Erotic Domination

The Ninety Days Of Genevieve

Charles Bukowski

Spike Milligan

Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion, Dr Watson, are working together once more to solve the mystery at Baskerville Hall.

The Hound Of The Baskervilles: According to Spike Milligan

Robin Hunter

A thoughtful and civilised man shouldn't have to make this choice. 
 
Until the day his wife and children are gunned down by 
terrorists, Simon Quarry knows what kind of man he is. 
 
When the politicians and diplomats look the other way, he 
becomes a hunter, guided by rage as much as by the desire for 
justice. Wanted by the terrorists he's targeting as well as by the 
police he’s evading, Quarry's grief for his murdered family 
becomes the engine of his revenge. 
A revenge that exacts a heavy price.

The Fourth Angel

In Sydney, Australia, in the late 1870s, vivacious young Melanie marries

and is planning to contest the will. 
 
The louche and hedonistic Ric Lidell and his promiscuous half-sister travel 
to Australia in a bid to get their hands on some of the money. Ric conceals 
his identity from Melanie so he can use his satanic good looks to charm her. 
However, Melanie’s former lover, the rich South African Peter van Heuren, 
is unwilling to allow the highly-sexed young widow to be taken from 
him and concocts a plan to discredit her other suitors. 
Who will win Melanie’s heart and their way to her fortune?

Contest Of Wills

Charles Bukowski's brilliant, fantastical pastiche of a detective story. Packed with wit, invention and Bukowski's trademark lowlife adventures, it is the final novel of one of the most enjoyable and influential cult writers of the last century.

A Magical Tale to Colour

Christine McGuire

Carla Norton

Colleen Stan was a sweet-natured, lively twenty-year-old when she set out to hitchhike from her home in Washington to Southern California. Seven years later she emerged from hell, the victim of a bizarre and chilling crime. Cameron and Janice Hooker had literally made her their slave - and forced her to endure all of Cameron's twisted sexual perversions. 
 
During these seven years the Hookers had two children, entertained their friends at home and held down jobs - while Colleen was held captive in a coffin-like box under their bed. 
 
This is also the story of Christine McGuire, a young, inexperienced deputy district attorney who prosecuted Cameron Hooker for kidnapping and successfully explained why Colleen - who had numerous chances to escape - stayed captive for so many years.

Perfect Victim

Set sometime between the first and second World Wars, somewhere in Ireland and sometimes everywhere else besides - at one point Murphy is kidnapped by Irish aliens who take him in a spaceship to see St Patrick choose his National Lottery numbers - Murphy's story serves only to prove that the luck of the Irish is not bestowed upon all the sons of the nation. 
Unable to hold down his job on a building site he turns to robbery but is discovered trapped inside a suit of armour, almost drowns when he falls down a wishing well and catches a particularly revolting form of bronchitis whilst on religious retreat in a particularly revolting form of monastery.As you would expect, The Murphy is rude, irreverent and hugely funny. Classic, timeless Milligan.

The Murphy

Tormunil can be an exceedingly harsh place for pretty young serving girls. Destined for a life of sexual slavery at the hands of merciless overlords, the chosen ones are taken to the Abbey - a place where strength is learnt through obedience to those who follow the path of the Twisted Cross. 
 
Taken into this strange world, the young and beautiful Sianon and Iroise are allowed few privileges. Tormented to the peaks of pleasure, but punished if they seek release, their only hope of escape lies with the handsome young traveller who has fallen for their charms.

The Sex Killers

Spike Milligan's publishing career began over forty years ago when Silly Verse for Kids was published in 1959. His poems were inspired by listening to his own children, and subsequently his grandchildren, and marvelling at the way they could invent new words or incorporate sound effects into their everyday language. Spike did not regard children as small adults, but as entirely different species who lived in a secret, magical world that very few adults understood. For decades he delved into this world, delighting children - and adults - of all ages with his poems and stories. 
 
Illustrated throughout with Spike's own drawings and specially commissioned artworks, this is an ideal read-alone or read-aloud book for Spike fans of all ages, featuring: Silly Verse for Kids (1959), The Bald Twit Lion (1968), A Book of Milliganimals (1968), Unspun Socks from a Chicken's Laundry (1968), Sir Nobonk and the Terrible, Awful, Dreadful, Nasty Dragon (1982), and Startling Verse for All the Family (1987).

Classic Stories and Poems by Spike Milligan

Another tale from Grapplewick. The mayor is also chief of the fire brigade and bandmaster of the brass band. Into this world comes Terence, a crook fresh from jail. Commander Wilson Brown is determined to be the new mayor and he and the band are drawn into Terence's web of intrigue.

The Great Crime Of Grapplewick

In this last of Spike's hilarious reinterpretations of the classic works of litarature, all the familiar faces of Robert Louis Stevenson's original version appear: Squire Trelawney, Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver. But they are joined by Groucho Marx - and Long John's parrot plays a starring role. This rip-roaring adventure of the hunt for buried treasure unravels faster than Ben Gunn's pants, with plenty of laughs along the way. Rude and irreverent as ever, Spike's rendering of this classic tale is as chock-full of gems as Cap'n Flint's treasure chest.
