"Hard, fast and really good" Lee Child (best-selling author of the Jack Reacher series)

The first book in the Tom Hunter thriller series.

Ted Denton’s explosive debut novel is an exhilarating action thriller pitching the privileged seductive world of a professional sports’ agent against a backdrop of political double dealing, corporate corruption and brutal violence.

A young Daniel Ratchet arrives in Spain to begin his dream job as a golf agent on the European Tour. In London, the Russian Rublex Corporation, with its history mired in ‘Vory’ mafia criminality, is working on a huge gas deal off the Falkland Islands with the British government. Veteran civil servant Derek Hemmings is tasked to rubber-stamp the deal for the Foreign Office.

But things are not what they seem … With the help of Wallace, a cantankerous old golf coach, Daniel discovers match fixing, fraud and corruption on the Tour, all at the seeming behest of Rublex. A thorn in the Russians’ side, Daniel is kidnapped before he can expose the truth. Wallace, needing help, contacts an old army buddy who deploys violent loose cannon Tom Hunter on the mission to save him.

A tense race against time ensues – both to rescue Daniel from the clutches of the ‘Vory’ and for Hemmings in Whitehall to prove that the deadly deal is corrupt. The stakes are high. As the body count mounts will the volatile Hunter get to the truth or will he be just too late?

Dead or alive. The truth always comes at a cost.

Book 2 in the Lucie Musilova Series

The vaunted Red Mako, the new symbol of Brexit Britain, is about to launch to a fanfare of political grandeur, but not all are convinced it was worth the price.

Barely escaping a botched mission with her life, Lucie Musilova is assigned a low profile case to regain her superior’s trust. All across the country, women have been disappearing who each have something in common: all are European nationals, and all have been ignored by a disinterested media and a politically restrained police force cut to the bones.

When a body is discovered and the case grows ever more personal, Lucie finds herself entwined in the seedy worlds of international defence contracts and government sanctioned prostitution as she fights corruption and far right violence to uncover the truth.

But with her mentor injured and assassins on her tail, Lucie must use all her wits to avoid becoming the final seal in a deal for the country’s very soul.

"Sinister, mysterious, redemptive, this modern day folklore will haunt you." Rose Mcginty, author of Electric Souk

In a desire to impress the people who visit his workshop, renowned artist The Painter, employs a gardener to create an inspirational landscape which includes a labyrinth, an orange grove and Moorish-inspired fountains. They develop an intimate relationship and the Painter, whose life and talent had become increasingly dissipated, finds himself slowly recovering his original innocence and talent.

However, the relationship is tainted by the Painter’s jealousy when visitors express more interest in the magical garden and mysterious labyrinth than in the Painter’s art. That jealously blossoms into deadly rage when The Painter catches the gardener changing one of his paintings….

Deirdre Quiery’s compelling new thriller explores themes of love, life and deceit, and examines the lengths we will go to pursue and protect our passions.
