Terrible People
4 primary works
Book 1
Life is good. Drugs, booze, sex, and plenty of money. But, when blank passports are found in an important client's wealth management office, these baby boomer professionals find themselves in terrible trouble. They can't trust their colleagues or their bosses and HMRC are after them as well. But much worse, so are the people working for Jorge Perez - the chief money launderer for the infamous Los Zetas drug cartel.
"... He had only met Jorge once; on that occasion he was invited to dinner during which he had to watch a man killing someone's wife. It became apparent that a video of the killing was going to be sent to her husband because he had displeased Jorge in some way."

Book 2
Diana Hamilton is a strong, successful, wealthy woman. She owns the most discreet, exclusive and expensive private members club in Mayfair. But when she decides to expand beyond London she encounters two truly terrible brothers.
They have made millions over the years, importing heroin, cocaine, ketamine and illegal immigrants. But they want more. And her business looks like a soft target.
“What terrified him the most was the dentist chair and the straps - until he saw the metal rings attached to the ceiling and the rings in the floor below.”

Book 3
Chief Superintendent Jackie Starling is a ruthless, ambitious, senior officer in the UK National Crime Agency. Tasked with closing down the "County Lines" drug dealers she is determined to get a result; whatever it takes.
Catching and convicting the dealers is easy enough; most of them are children. But these results are temporary and the young criminals are replaced within days. Starling needs a different strategy and so faces a choice: Stay within the rules and chip away at the foot soldiers or kill the bosses? She decides to go for the bosses.
She knows someone capable of carrying out the tasks ahead and she has the power to persuade him to deliver. But Starling has no idea what they will be up against or the prospect of a horrifying death that she will be facing.
"County Lines" is the UK distribution model that involves urban gangs expanding their markets for crack cocaine and heroin into smaller towns by setting up phone lines through which they sell the Class A drugs.
