Review “Lancaster is a terrific new character and Swain’s writing is better than ever together they’re smart, tough, suspenseful, and rewarding.” Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author “James Swain’s The King Tides is a hundred percent adrenaline rush disguised as a detective novel. Its hero, an ex-detective named Jon Lancaster, is as adept at using the latest digital sleuthing software as he is shooting a gun. The pacing is terrific, the dialogue memorable, and the characters, including a tough-as-nails female FBI agent and some truly frightening serial killers, jump off the page. You will read this book in one sitting. It’s that good.” Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Jon Lancaster is a former Navy SEAL and a retired cop, who works rescues of abducted children, and is a kick-ass private investigator. Tough as nails, Jon doesn’t take no for an answer when searching for missing kids. As a private investigator he doesn’t have to abide by the same rules of law enforcement officers, giving the perpetrators no rights. Author James Swain has created a protagonist who is real enough to be your next door neighbor. I have read, and loved, many of Swain’s books over the years, but I think The King Tides is his best work yet. The story is action-packed, tough, and believable. I hope the Jon Lancaster adventures will become a series.” Cheryl Kravetz, Murder on the Beach Bookstore, Delray Beach, Florida “Jim Swain is crime fiction’s master of misdirection. I can’t think of anyone who comes close. If you are tired of retread plots and characters the same old, same old, give Jim Swain a try. I dare you to grab a copy of The King of Tides and tell me how it will end after reading a few chapters.” Mike Bursaw, Mystery Mike’s bookstore, specializing in Detective, Mystery & Suspense Fiction About the Author James Swain is the national bestselling author of twenty mystery novels and has worked as a magazine editor, screenwriter, and novelist.

But when the killer is let off with time served on remand, Gray knows there is something fundamentally wrong with the justice system. Engaging the help of his ex-SAS buddies, he kidnaps five repeat offenders and asks the public to vote on their fate: Should they be allowed to continue their criminal ways with inadequate punishment, or has Britain had enough? His website attracts a worldwide audience and, although the authorities know where he is, they are powerless to stop him. Can Gray carry out his audacious plan?

I loved the idea of Tom Gray being more than just your average vigilante...’ - Rachel Abbott, author of Only the Innocent and The Back Road. ‘When a writer puts together a techno thriller, he or she takes on a certain obligation: whether they know the technical specs or not, they need to deliver on the authenticity. Gray Justice delivers. Alan McDermott weaves us an intricate tale of military preparedness with devilish and cunning accuracy. McDermotts prose is easy to understand while still delivering the thriller punch!’ - R.S. Guthrie, author of Blood Land. ‘Gray Justice is a well written, fast-paced thriller that starts with a terrible tragedy when Tom Grays son is killed by a car thief. What follows is a clever and demanding look at the inadequacies of the British punishment system and an exploration of what we, the reader, might do if we were ever put in a similar situation. (…)This is a book that will be enjoyed by all who love a well-planned story combined with thrilling action and a deeply scarred, but very capable and likeable hero.’ - David Leadbeater, author of the Matt Drake series.
