A powerful debut set in Belfast and London in the latter years of the twentieth century. The Troubles turned Northern Ireland into a ghost factory: as the manufacturing industry withered, the death business boomed. In trying to come to terms with his father’s sudden death, and the attack on his harmless best friend Titch, Jacky is forced to face the bullies who still menace a city scarred by conflict. After he himself is attacked, he flees to London to build a new life. But even in the midst of a burgeoning love affair he hears the ghosts of his past echoing, pulling him back to Belfast, crying out for retribution and justice.Written with verve and flair, and spiked with humour, The Ghost Factory marks the arrival of an auspicious new talent.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MARRY ME.Waitress Maggie Walters might have sworn she'd be engaged before she turned thirty, but J.D. Duran's unromantic words were hardly the proposal of her dreams. Seeing this as perhaps her last chance at marriage, Maggie decided to take J.D. up on his offer, but she had a proposal of her own to make… ."AND SOMEDAY YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME."Never had such words affected the unflappable J.D. The secret agent told himself he was only marrying Maggie to keep her safe. But he was finding it increasingly difficult to keep their temporary marriage strictly in name only, leading this self-declared lone wolf to fear he might just have to succumb to Maggie's tempting dare.
