Befriend and Betray: Infiltrating the Hells Angels, Bandidos and Other Criminal Brotherhoods (Alex Caine)

Befriend and Betray: Infiltrating the Hells Angels, Bandidos and Other Criminal Brotherhoods

Alex Caine

Blurb: Alex Caine started life as just another mixed-up kid in rough-and-tumble Hull, Quebec. But after a tour in Vietnam and a stretch in prison on marijuana-possession charges, he fell into the cloak-and-dagger world of contracted agent, infiltrating criminal groups that cops across North America and around the globe were unable to penetrate themselves.

Thanks to his quick-wittedness and his tough but unthreatening demeanour, Caine could fit into whatever unsavoury situation he found himself. His assignments ran the gamut from Bandidos and Hells Angels to Triad toughs, Russian mobsters and the KKK. When a job was over, he'd slip away and cozy up to another group of bad guys, assume a new identity and start collecting evidence for another major takedown. 

An outrageous and heartrending page-turner told from the frontlines of law enforcement's war with organised crime, Befriend and Betray offers an unvarnished account of this never-ending conflict that rages all around us, and the terrible toll it takes on the lives of those who serve its cause.

Blood Test - Alex Delaware #2 (Jonathan Kellerman)

Blood Test (Alex Delaware #2)

Jonathan Kellerman

Blurb: Family ties can bind you too tight.

Doctors believe that they can successfully treat five-year old cancer patient Woody Swope. But Woody's parents, members of a cult called 'The Touchers', are not only refusing the treatment, they're also threatening to remove him from the hospital.

Psychologist Alex Delaware is called in to talk the parents round. But before he can, the Swopes are gone and so is Woody. All that remains is a savagely ransacked and bloodied motel room, their promiscuous teenage daughter, Nona, and an increasingly dark and bizarre case for Alex to solve.

Criminal profiler Maggie O'Dell had been instrumental in putting Albert Stucky, the notorious collector, away.

But O'Dell feels she's lost her edge, tortured by the nightmares and guilt for the ones she couldn't save.

Bloodlust & Initiation - Vampire Beach Series #1 & #2 (Alex Duval)

Bloodlust & Initiation (Vampire Beach Series #1 & #2)

Alex Duval

Blurb: Sienna's dark hair was glossier than he'd ever seen it, her skin was clear and creamy, almost luminous, and her lips glowed a deep rose red that he didn't think came from lipstick. She was stunning, spectacular, impossibly beautiful! Jason realised he was staring. 'What is it?' he asked. 'Sienna, you can tell me anything.' And then Sienna smiled, slowly revealing a pair of very white, very sharp, and very real fangs.

Jason has just moved to Malibu - home to rich kids and fabulous parties. He's flattered to be included - and very flattered by the interest of the stunning Sienna. But Sienna and her friends hide a dark secret... and Jason is risking his life by falling for her.

Ritual & Legacy - Vampire Beach Series #3 & #4 (Alex Duval)

Ritual & Legacy (Vampire Beach Series #3 & #4)

Alex Duval

Blurb: He'd seen her look this gorgeous once before, when she had first told him that she was a vampire.

She'd let him see her true beauty then and it was just as mesmerising now. Her black hair glimmered in the dim light, her skin was sheer golden perfection and, all of a sudden, Jason felt like the bigger idiot in the world. Why had he ever let himself think that Sienna would want to be with him? She was one of them. He wasn't. End of story. Then she turned. Her dark eyes met him across the sea of faces, and she smiled. A sizzle raced through Jason's body and all his doubt dissapeared. It didn't matter what she was or what he wasn't. They were made for each other.

Jason's life in Malibu is looking up, especially now Sienna, the most beautiful girl in town, seems to be interested in him. Jason is learning to live with Sienna's dark secret - that she and her friends are vampires - but is she more trouble than she's worth?
