A dead rich man with suspicious financial holdings is bound to have some dangerous ties and a few ruthless enemies. Now, Belsey and his clever plan are about to be overshadowed by far more ambitious players with their own brilliant?and deadly?scheme.Combining dark humor, dazzling twists, and a sharp narrative style, The Hollow Man is a tour de force of suspense?and the debut of an extraordinary new writer.

In this gritty, white-knuckle crime thriller, Detective Nick Belsey--introduced in the acclaimed The Hollow Man as a shrewd, street-smart cynic who is one of London's sharpest, but most unprincipled, investigators--is plunged into a perplexing mystery of secrets, danger, and suspense beneath the city's streets.Trouble once again finds Nick Belsey when he takes a date to an abandoned bomb shelter buried beneath the heart of London. One minute the young woman is there, and the next, she's gone, mysteriously vanishing into the dark labyrinth of secret tunnels. A seasoned cop with a bad reputation, Nick knows that if he reports her disappearance, he'll be the prime suspect. Instead, he's going to find her. It's not just her life at stake--it's his, too.Determined to discover who else is down in those forgotten tunnels, and how far this secret network of underground passages extends, he plunges head first into the investigation--and into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with a ruthless enemy who would rather let an innocent woman die than reveal old Cold War secrets hidden deep beneath the city's streets.An edgy, subversive thriller with the superb characterization of classic Lawrence Block and the psychological acuity and suspense of Sophie Hannah, Deep Shelter is a compulsively readable mystery from a master of literary suspense.

Twenty-seven, rich, and beautiful, Amber Knight is living everyone's dream. Her music career is established, her acting career is taking off, and she has a lifestyle fit for the top of the A-list. So why has she started acting so strangely? At least, that's how it seems to Nick Belsey. A less celebrated resident of north London, Belsey's decade-long career at Hampstead Criminal Investigative Department is coming to an abrupt end, but he still can't seem to kick his habit of getting into serious trouble. When he's asked by a desperate mother to help find her only son, Belsey has to infiltrate Amber's glittering world. The seedy underside to her seemingly perfect life?a realm of excess, obsession, lust, and greed?doesn't surprise him. What does is the blood trail that leads directly to Amber. As one twisted crime follows another, Belsey finds himself chasing more answers than when he started out. The stakes are raised dangerously high and Belsey's own survival is at stake. It may be too late to save his reputation, but he's not ready to die just yet?and especially not at the hands of a celebrity.
