Tom Rollins has gone AWOL from his CIA black-ops unit and is living off-grid when he hears that the woman he loves, Alejandra, has been murdered by a person or persons unknown.
Rollins is determined to punish her killers and sets out on his own personal search and destroy mission. Applying pressure as only he knows how, he quickly discovers who was behind the killing – a vicious gang of hardened criminals.
Using his dizzying array of lethal skills, Rollins begins to take out the leaders of the gang, one by one. But then he discovers that Alejandra’s murder was part of a larger conspiracy, one that threatens death and destruction on a horrifying scale.
The conspirators are clever and ruthless. They’ve thought of everything, covered every angle. Except one – Tom Rollins.
Fugitive ex-special forces operative, Tom Rollins, is en route to Mexico when he is forced to detour into the small town of Brenton, Texas, a place whose glory days are far behind it. A powerful criminal family, the McQuades, runs things now and they don’t take kindly to strangers.
When some of their thugs try to intimidate Tom, he pushes back – hard. The McQuades can’t stand for that – they have Tom beaten, arrested, thrown in jail.
If that was all they did, he’d probably let it slide, just leave town. But tough guy Earl McQuade makes a fatal mistake – he steals a pendant from Tom, a piece of jewellery given to him by the woman he loved.
Tom wants that pendant back and he’ll do whatever it takes to get it.
The McQuades have powerful allies – corrupt politicians and law enforcement, a lethal biker gang, a small army of foot soldiers. They’re not worried about Tom – one guy against all of us, what can he do?
They’re about to find out.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

By the end, the streets will run with blood, and no one walks away unscarred
Davey Hoy’s money has gone missing. Jackson Stobbart thinks he knows where Cathy has run with it and he follows her north-east to their seaside home town. He’s hoping to get it back before anyone notices it’s gone. Unfortunately for him, Cathy has run to her ex-boyfriend to hide-out, and Jackson’s never been much of a fighter.

Even their so-called friends are on the take, willing to pull a double-cross if that’s what’s going to turn them a quick buck.

Beaten to a pulp and under threat of death, Patton is determined to find a way to be with the girl he loves no matter what the cost, but as the stakes get higher he has to decide just how far he’s willing to go in the name of love.
After his girlfriend leaves and takes their young son with her, Joey Hidalgo is left alone in the trailer they formerly called home with nothing to do but get drunk and contemplate her reasons. Is he really as angry, as volatile, so close to constant violence, as she claims he is?
No, Joey thinks, of course not, the real problem is money—or lack thereof. Joey’s a bartender, always struggling to make ends meet, unlike his most vile regular customer, the rich and racist fatboy. So Joey hatches a plan to get his family back by taking him for all he’s worth.
But the fatboy isn’t going to make it easy for them. Neither is Joey’s temper. Things are going to get messy, and it’s gonna be one hell of a long night.
Twas the night before Christmas…
And Santa Claus is getting wasted…
Sophia is waiting for her husband to get home…
Beth is glad hers is gone…
It’s the night before Christmas, but there’s plenty stirring.
There’s sex and there’s violence amongst these bad boys and girls, and if they’re not careful, they’re all likely to end up on the naughty list.
Life has been tough on Teddy Norton and Bud Corrigan. A pair of lifelong best friends and perennial losers, they’ve never had anyone but each other, and they’ve never had more than they could scrape together.
Now it’s Christmas, and they want more than they’ve been given.
Teddy’s good at breaking in. Bud’s good at lifting heavy things and doing what he’s told. They’ve got a list of houses they want to hit, of people they want to hurt the same way they’ve been hurt. They’re all at a party. Their homes are all empty…right?
Stealing Christmas takes the villains from Home Alone, makes them the heroes, then throws them in a blender with Of Mice And Men and How The Grinch Stole Christmas
‘In times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself.’
Tom Wayman was not born a fighter. He was moulded through hardship and hatred, thrown to the dogs and left to fend for himself.
When he fights, men cheer for him. They place bets on him. They celebrate his victories, but they just as readily lust for his blood.
Set in the dark and dirty underworld of illegal dog-fighting, ‘The Pitbull’ is a hallucinogenic nightmare, a trip through hell, the story of a man more beast than human. It is his fractured relationships, his bloody battles, and his underlying, seething misanthropy.
Billy McCracken is overweight, middle-aged, and a drug dealer. He used to be a good one.
In the small north-eastern town where he lives and works, people used to respect him. They used to fear him. Now they look at him and they see a bald and broken down drunk. The fight has gone out of Billy. He’s gotten older and now he just wants an easy life. He’s got his regular customers, his drinking buddies, and, when the need arises, he knows where to find the local lady of the night.
But there are men in the town still to be feared. Men like Ross Banks and Peter Graham. Like Billy, Peter works for Ross. He doesn’t like it. He wants more than he’s got, and he’s acquired a crew of young thugs to help him take it. Things are getting tense.
Billy doesn’t want anything to do with it. Billy doesn’t have a choice.

The job in itself is trouble enough, but his employer is a powerful man, a man with secrets that need to be kept, and not learning the truth is going to be a challenge in itself. Add an ageing father in a distant care home and Henry is going to have a busy week.
