Blood Ceremony, by Peter Raft

When Kevin and Amanda McGarrett moved to the tiny Devon village of Gloum, they thought they were starting a fresh new chapter on their lives. Quickly settling in and making friends, life was good - Kevin got a good job locally and Amanda made her mark with the local ladies.

But then Amanda begins to notice that some of her friends are disappearing - and Kevin starts to work late, coming home in the early hours. And what are those groups of men doing, that walk out onto the Moors every Friday night?

Amanda McGarrett is about to discover that one of the selling points of Gloum - it’s so good, you’ll never leave - has more than one meaning.

Pearls, by Peter Raft

Cindy Moran was a gorgeous, vivacious woman in her twenties. Her life should have been opening up in front of her, full of love and laughter and parties. But she was a widow, her husband killed when a pearl smuggling deal turned sour.

Now Cindy has a mission. She’s going to kill Mike Farraday, her husband’s business partner and it doesn’t matter to her how long it takes, how far she has to go or what she has to do to achieve her aim.

But as Cindy gets closer to her quarry, she is shocked at the levels of depravity she has to endure.
