by Charlie Flowers

( 6 )

₹ 148.00

It's the height of summer and a sweltering weekend in London. Riz and Holly have been tasked with taking a jihadi prisoner to an MI6 facility in Portsmouth for debriefing. So far, so routine.
But after a full-scale bloodbath of a firefight at the Dartford Crossing, they realise that they haven't got any average prisoner on their hands. This one knows something, and that something has the CIA after them. And worse...
Riz and Holly will have to ditch all their hi-tech gear and use their survival smarts to evade their hunters, as the road trip turns into an epic pursuit across the landscape of southern England, using half-remembered stay behind networks from the Cold War and further back still... and as they dig themselves in and out of trouble on the way to a final showdown in a sleepy market town, they realise that the man they're escorting may also figure in their history, too...

( 5 )

₹ 237.18

A unique short story anthology curated by the readers and editorial team of READERS CIRCLE OF AVENUE PARK (#RCAP). It's a global effort, literally, with contributions from 15 authors across exhausting time zones that extend from Africa, Europe, America and Asia. This is the cryptic one-liner each author gave to describe their twisted tales...

JOE BREWER: A young man's plan for his future takes an unexpected twist.
MICHELLE MEDHAT: Some pasts never let go!

ANITA KOVACEVIC: A woman goes job-hunting and stumbles upon a mother who is trying to save her son's life from a bully in a completely unexpected way.
C.A. SANDERS: A group of New York City children play a street game with a mysterious stranger and their souls as the prize.
NEIL NEWTON: A cutting edge linguist launches the definitive study of dialect and finds out there is more to the structure of the universe than he suspects.
LUBNA SENGUL: Battle of two minds, Julian must decide his fate.
J. MAYERSON BROWN: Cheating once is forgivable. But twice?
JEAN GILL: Coming of age is tricky for an unwanted zodiac sign.
CHARLIE FLOWERS & HANNAH HAQ: An English nationalist and a Muslim girl share a long train ride and find that more brings them together than divides them.
GEOFF NELDER: A grape-sized micrometeorite hits John's house at the same time every day. Help!
ELIZABETH NOREEN-NEWTON: Gaunt Thibideaux was a man of habits. And you know what they say. "Old Habits" die hard.
MARK FINE: An exotic foreigner finds his beautiful bride is now bored with him. Is it the end of their domestic bliss or is there a twist?

To retain a distinctive international flavor (or ‘flavour’) each story is in the English style of its author, so some stories are in British English, some in American, and some reflect the jargon of a region.

P.S. 'Twisted Tales' is mixed-fruit jam for the soul. Laugh, cry, dwell deep and sigh. Enjoy!

The Siege 28 Feb, 2016

by Charlie Flowers

( 13 )

₹ 199.00

5 FLOORS. 6 TERRORISTS. 26 HOSTAGES.
AND ONE MAN ON THE INSIDE...

It’s 1980 and Captain David Mahoney is preparing to jump from a plane into Iran.

Far to the north the Americans are readying their hostage rescue mission. But the British have problems of their own.
Khorramshahr is boiling over into revolt and Mahoney’s best man is down there - Tariq Ismail.

The descent goes to plan and the next morning Mahoney and Tariq arrive at a safe house in the city to brief each other on new developments.

Mahoney, an ex SAS officer now working in the Intelligence Corps Specialist Intelligence Wing, has trained Tariq from a young age.

Working on the ground as a spy in Iran, Tariq joins the Democratic Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Khuzestan.
Through his involvement with the group he has gained information on ‘the fox’, Sami Mohammed Ali, Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chief.

Mahoney orders Tariq to run with the DRFLA’s plan to send a handful of members to Europe for an undisclosed mission, and to inform him of any developments as soon as they occur.

Tariq is sent with fellow terrorists to Heathrow to carry out an attack - on the Iranian Embassy in Kensington.
Trying not to raise suspicion from his DRFLA comrades, he attempts to get in touch with British Intelligence and inform Mahoney of his message.

After jumping through curious covert protocol Tariq gets through to the service.

They register his information but how is Tariq going to be able to get away from the terrorists?

How will the incoming SAS team be able to recognise he isn’t a terrorist and is actually a spy for the British?

Will Mahoney and his team succeed in their rescue mission - or will the Iranian Embassy be destroyed?

The Siege is a thrilling military spy novel. Set in the 1980s, in Margaret Thatcher’s London, it touches on pre 9/11 Arab relations and international terrorism.

Meet Rizwan Sabir.

A former al-Qaeda operative, he was lifted by Counter-Terrorism Command - and now battles his old comrades.

In ‘Locked and Loaded’, the first three best-selling Riz Sabir thrillers are collected together for the first time.

HARD KILL

London. The city is reeling from a series of deadly attacks by a new radical terrorist group. Working above the law and below government radars, Riz must lead a dangerous double life with the help of Holly "Bang-Bang" Kirpachi, a Burlesque dancer and internet hacker with a talent for breaking codes - and bones. With time running out, Riz must put his life on the line to identify the terrorists. And silence them forever - before he is silenced himself.

DANGER CLOSE

According to confidential reports, elements of the Metropolitan Police have been penetrated by a violent terror group. With rising tension within the police force, time is quickly running out for Riz. His task: to identify the target. And neutralise the enemy before they strike. But before he can begin, there is a desperate mission that must be completed, at all costs. Riz must find his fiancee, dead or alive….

KILL ORDER

An ex al-Qaeda jihadi, Riz is now a fixer for a shadowy branch of the Ministry of Defence. He has teamed up professionally and romantically with Holly "Bang-Bang" Kirpachi - a hard-bitten girl gang leader. Their marriage was set to be the social event of the season. Until the wedding celebrations were interrupted by a series of murders in the East End of London. Someone is copying Jack the Ripper with a new spate of gruesome killings in Whitechapel. Can they catch the killer before he strikes again?

'Locked and Loaded' is a block-buster collection of police-procedural, techno-thrillers.
