The Blurb

LONDON 1922

American ex-pat Logan Bishop is a war-damaged, morphine-dependent private investigator.

When his estranged father, Reverend Daniel Bishop, arrives from Chicago, Logan refuses to see him—until his father is brutally attacked.

Before slipping into a coma, Daniel leaves Logan with a desperate plea: find Greta Matas - a woman tied to his past-before she's killed.

Logan heads to Edinburgh in search of answers.

But from the moment he arrives, nothing adds up. Greta is missing. Her son is wanted for murder. And Logan is being watched.

By the police. By gangsters. By men who don't want the truth uncovered.

As Logan is pulled deeper into a web of lies and corruption, he realises the truth may cost him his life.

Maiden Voyage by Bradley Harper - #bookspotlight #blogtour

I am delighted to be shining the spotlight on Maiden Voyage - Love and Larceny Aboard the Titanic by Bradley Harper.  

The Blurb

Three female thieves, a priceless painting, and a Pinkerton agent aboard the Titanic. What could go wrong?

Colette DuVall, a young jewel thief from Canada, follows Mary Carr, the 'Queen' of the criminal gang The Forty Elephants, aboard the Titanic to steal a painting by the French master, Blondell. Her resolve weakens when she meets Harry Worth, a young Pinkerton agent hired to safeguard the wealthy passengers during the ship's maiden voyage. Harry, the son of master criminal Adam Worth, questions his role as a private policeman exacting private justice, and his doubts deepen after losing his heart to the charming Colette. Can two people on opposite sides of the law find love and survive the sinking of the largest object ever made?

Loyalties collide as fiercely as the ship with the iceberg, and as the three struggle to escape the foundering colossus, they find love is the greatest thief of all.
