Product Description
DC Gary Goodhew is intelligent, intuitive and the youngest detective at Cambridge's Parkside Station. He is the first on the scene when the body of a young woman is discovered on Midsummer Common and for the first time in his career is given the chance to work on a murder investigation. Soon there is an identity for the victim: Lorna Spence. Richard Moran, her boyfriend and employer, has reported her missing and is distraught to discover that she has been killed. He claims she was loved by his staff and his sisters, reserved Alice and vulnerable Jackie. He says she had no enemies but it isn't long before Goodhew discovers plenty, including her high maintenance colleague Victoria and Goodhew's reckless former classmate Bryn. They both swear that they have nothing to do with Lorna's death but Goodhew knows someone is lying. Then there is another brutal murder and Goodhew knows it is time to use his own initiative to flush out the killer, even though it means risking his job and discovering the truth about the one person he hopes will be innocent.

The Siren (Hardback) - Signed
£18.99
Review
Alison Bruce has created an unusual and interesting main character. --The Times
Product Description
All it took was one small item on the regional news for Kimberly Guyver and Rachel Golinski to know that their old life was catching up with them. They wondered how they'd been naive enough to think it wouldn't. They hoped they still had a chance to leave it behind - just one more time - but within hours, Rachel's home is burning and Kimberly's young son, Riley, is missing. DC Gary Goodhew begins to sift through their lives, and starts to uncover an unsettling picture of deceit, murder and accelerating danger. Kimberly seems distraught but also defensive and uncooperative. Is it fear and mistrust of the police which are putting her son at risk, or darker motivations? With Riley's life in peril, Goodhew needs Kimberly to make choices, but she has to understand, the one thing she cannot afford is another mistake.

Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind some of the most notorious murders in Cambridgeshire's history. The cases covered here record the county's most fascinating but least known crimes, as well as famous murders that gripped not just Cambridgeshire but the whole nation.

Billington, Victorian Executioner (Hardback) - Signed
£18.99
Product Description
James Billington, formerly a pub entertainer and then a barber, had been single-minded in his determination to secure the post of executioner for London and the Home Counties. But did he really feel he was primarily a benefit to society and justice, or were his reasons for wanting the position more personal? Three of his sons, Thomas, William and John, followed in his footsteps and together the family were responsible for 235 executions in Great Britain between 1884 and 1905. "Billington: Victorian Executioner" provides a complete account of the stories behind James Billington's 151 executions, as well as introducing the reader to the real man behind the rope. This fascinating biography is an exciting addition to any true crime bookshelf.

The Siren (Album) - Presented in a digi-pack with a full colour 16 page booklet.
£8.00
Review
The album is packed full of fresh, modern sounding Rockabilly with a distinct Country tinge and even a light summery jazzy feel on some tracks... so if you fancy something a little different then check this one out, you'll know whodunnit from the start, but it doesn't make the listening any less interesting. --Milkcow
Product Description
Yes, this album really does share its title with Alison's second Goodhew book. All 14 tracks are original, four, including The Siren co-written by Alison.
