Edited immediately prior to Christmas, the latest in the crime thriller series featuring Harry McNeil is now available.

A killer on the rampage. A detective standing in his way…

As a winter storm covers the city, the frozen corpse of a female is found inside a pile of snow outside Hector Mann’s house. There’s no identity on her, but Hector recognises her. She’s a woman from his past.

DCI Harry McNeil is called in with his team to start the investigation but right from the start, things don’t add up. Does Mann know more than he’s letting on?

DCI Jimmy Dunbar is sent through from Glasgow to join the investigation. They have a cold case murder from two years ago very similar to this one. Coincidence, or more? What is the connection between that murder and this one?

Harry is brought in for questioning by his old department, Professional Standards. His ex-girlfriend is being stalked and she’s pointing the finger at Harry. Suddenly things are not looking good for him.

Harry not only needs to track down a vicious serial killer but somebody who is intent on bringing him to his knees.

Can he catch a killer before his life is not only turned upside down, but ended? As time is running out, Harry is racing against the clock to stop one of the most frightening and lethal killers he’s ever dealt with.

Re-edited in November and relaunched as the first in the Harry McNeil crime series.

** DISCLAIMER – previously published as GOD COMPLEX. This novel has been re-written and re-branded to feature Harry McNeil as the main protagonist. It has been re-edited and God Complex will no longer be available on or around Dec 26 2019 when it finishes its run on KDP. If you have read God Complex please DO NOT buy this book. It is essentially the same, with editorial revisions.

A woman is found in a local cemetery, crushed to death under a gravestone. A production company is there, filming the remake of a classic sci-fi TV show in the grounds, making the investigation more difficult for DCI Harry McNeil.

It’s his first day in charge of the cold case unit in Edinburgh. After spending four years in Professional Standards, he has little choice but to take the promotion. The Crown Office decides which cold cases should be reviewed, and this time, they’ve decided the murder of a teenage girl from twenty years ago should be re-opened. A girl who was murdered by somebody pushing a gravestone on top of her…

The case gets more complicated when they find out who the latest victim is. Suddenly there are no shortage of suspects.

As the filming continues, so does the killing. And McNeil wonders, has a killer been murdering for twenty years? Or is this case completely unconnected? With Frank Miller’s help, he’s going to find out…the hard way…

Edited in August, this is the fourth instalment in the Starship Renegades series.

Betrayal. Poison. Almost Certain Death.

Space Pirates. They’re the stuff of B-grade action movies, right?

So Kari thought, until she and her companions are captured by a swaggering captain with a cutlass. The lying traitor on board her ship set a trap, and she walked right into it.

Captain Blanchard wants to sell Kari and her companions into slavery. There’s only one thing for it: escape, and damn the trail of bodies.

If they can’t escape, they’re doomed to lives of servitude. There’s just one problem: Kari and her crew have no resources, no allies, and no hope.

If you like sword fights in space, long odds, and massive space stations, then you’ll love Starship Renegades: Buccaneer.

Available for pre-order now. Starship Renegades: Buccaneer – S.J. Bryant
