Colloff P: A Deal With the Devil

A Deal With the Devil

The Astonishing True Story of the Most Audacious Fraud in Sport

The Trillion Dollar Conman

On Riddleston Road each house reaches three storeys high, with smart gabled roofs and neat garden paths unfurling from pastel coloured front doors. Wide, sash windows stare outwards from the brick facades, revealing a glimpse of beautiful interiors. And concealing dark secrets. Today a new family has moved into number twenty-three. A family who shouldn't be there. As Iris stacks boxes in the hallway, she knows she has made a mistake in coming here. This house will mean her son will get the future he deserves. That will make everything she's done worth it. But someone knows Iris's secret and what she did to get her dream home... Would she kill to keep it?

A totally gripping psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming

Russia’s Man of War

Gangsters. Lovers. Legends. Meet the Kellys—the bootlegging, bank-robbing, husband-wife duo known as “Machine Gun” Kelly and Kathyrn Thorne—who masterminded one of the most infamous kidnappings in American crime . . . How did a small-time, hip-pocket bootlegger become one of the most notorious gangsters in the country? For George “Machine Gun” Kelly, the answer was simple: a woman. Her name was Kathryn Thorne, a charming, strong-minded beauty who had family connections in the crime world—and big ambitions for the tall, handsome bootlegger. By the time she met Kelly, she was already an experienced criminal herself, divorced twice, and ready to marry a man who could give her the posh life she always dreamed of. With that in mind, she bought Kelly his first machine gun. And the rest is history . . . George Kelly wasn’t a natural-born gangster and never carried a weapon bigger than a revolver. But Kathryn changed all that. Like a mobbed-up Lady Macbeth, she pushed her husband to commit greater crimes, introducing him to her friends in the underworld and convincing him to join in a series of bank robberies. Soon, the Kellys were living large, with a house in Texas, expensive jewelry, the works. But it wasn’t enough, and eventually the couple hatched a daring plot to kidnap oil tycoon Charles Urschel. Their plan worked. They collected the ransom—and captured the attention of the nation, the world . . . and the FBI. A shocking story of ambition and greed, crime and punishment, Meet the Kellys offers a fascinating portrait of a reluctant gangster named after a machine gun and a scheming moll as driven as Bonnie Parker and Ma Barker. A must-read for true crime fans.

Bone Valley: A True Story of Injustice and Redemption in the Heart of Florida

After surviving a series of personal tragedies, Alison Marsh made a life-altering decision; building on her strong sense of justice and desire to help people, she thrust herself into the thrilling and often-strange world of private investigations - setting up her own company, Miss A.M. Investigates. From catching love-cheats red-handed to stopping scammers, no two days are the same for the professional truth-seeker. Armed with intuition and an unlikely toolkit, Alison navigates complex cases of adultery, fraud, theft, missing persons, and even attempted murder. In Private Lies, Alison takes the reader behind the scenes of these real cases and shows how she uses her skills and experience to follow the clues, solve the mysteries, and get the answers no one else can - no matter how unpalatable some of those answers might be.

Now a proven miscarriage of justice this account lays out the facts of the case including the public hysteria and media frenzy at the time.
