|title=Quarry's Choice
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=If you are fed up with reading books about a hit man with a heart, why not try one of the ''Quarry'' series? This is a man who is hired to kill and does not think too much about it; it's just a job. Usually Quarry arrives in a town, makes a hit and gets out immediately, but there is something about the world of the Dixie Mafia that is making him stay a little longer. Is it the blackmail, the attractive young women, or the sense of revenge?

|summary=The Nazis are amongst the most infamous group that has ever walked the planet. They may have been evil, but there was something pantomime about them that has made them the perfect foil for countless cheesy action films and pulp fiction. To enjoy these you have to disengage yourself from the history and see the Nazis of fiction as separate from those of real life. Can I enjoy a book like ''A Kill in the Morning'' set in an alternative 1950s were the Nazis have taken over mainland Europe and are building an ultimate weapon? Can a maverick secret agent take out SS Commander Reinhard Heydrich and change the tide of history?

|title=The Spring of Kasper Meier
|rating=4.5
|genre=Thrillers
|summary=Germany may be defeated as the embers of World War II grow cold but Kasper Meier is making the most of it. His trade in black market goods and casual private investigation work augment the meagre rations for him and his dying father. When a woman asks him to find a missing British airman he refuses – it's not really his line. She blackmails Kasper and still he refuses but then the note arrives:
''This is bigger than you. You don't have a choice. Queers still die in Berlin. Find the pilot.''
It seems that he's been seen with another man and now he has a decision to make that will either cost or save his life.
