Sometimes the hardest thing about friendships is communicating.
And sometimes it's disposing of the body.

Aziz would still be alive if he hadn't made that cheap crack about Kyle's nan's ... well ... her chest.

Kyle can't believe it happened. He just lashed out. A shove in the chest. Just to set some boundaries.

Now there's blood all over Nan's Nairn Cushionflor and Aziz is lying with his head blocking the fridge door. Which is also bad, because right now, Kyle could seriously do with a beer.

But a lack of beer is the least of Kyle's problems. Nan is away at the moment. An eighties weekender at Camber Sands. But she'll be back tomorrow morning at 9.00 a.m. No way can Aziz still be there.

Kyle needs a plan. He needs to get Aziz gone. But first he needs help.

He calls Harv. And that's when the trouble really starts...

Goodbye Aziz is a blackly comic novella about friendship, pig farms and the perils of bad habits.

THEY'VE FAKED YOUR CHILD'S DEATH. AND IF YOU DON'T GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT, THEY'LL MAKE IT A REALITY.

Things have been difficult for Annie since her husband left; her teenage daughter, Isla, has become a ghost of her former self. Annie's terrified that Isla might do something desperate, and she'll lose her, too. So when Annie receives a video of herself crying at Isla's funeral, her blood runs cold.

Confused and horrified, Annie races upstairs to check on Isla, who is alive and well. The video has been faked. But who sent it and what do they want?

One dark truth soon becomes clear: Annie is the latest in a string of parents being blackmailed, and Isla will be killed if Annie goes to the police or if she fails to give the sender what they want. Annie has a deadly choice: comply with the demands, or try to unmask the dangerous criminal.

"Andy Maslen has written a sharp, witty take on the hardboiled crime novels of the 1930s, set in a gritty, neon-lit, modern-day Chicago. Expect sex, betrayal, deceit, violence, corruption ... and a tricky relationship with a hatstand."

Welcome to P.I. Art Zeffer's Chicago. A town where the rats have concealed-carry licences. The mobsters act legit. And dirty cops are out for everything they can get. He's having a so-so day when an emerald-eyed redhead strolls into his office and sets his world on fire.

As a baby, Tara Wolfe was kidnapped by Hong Kong triads. After a bungled ransom demand, she was taken secretly to the mainland.

Witnessed by a talent scout defending herself from an assault by three rich kids, Mei is recruited for a Communist Party school for assassins. The training is brutal, but Mei makes a couple of friends along the way: ‘Rats’ and ‘Sis’. Then, after an arduous training exercise, something happens that tears the tight-knit trio apart.
