Charlie Miller, a Glasgow city centre police Detective Sergeant, is beset with a drink problem and scorned by his supervisors. Tasked the most menial inquiries to investigate, an acute shortage of manpower thrusts Charlie, suddenly and with extreme reluctance, into investigating the death in a fire of an unidentified 14 year old girl. This death and the jibes of his peers, force Charlie to revaluate his life and investigatory skills. Added to Charlie's problems he is obliged to work with a female Counter Terrorism officer when it is discovered the girl's family is identified as having connections with Irish extremists. To compound his problems and running parallel with Charlie's inquiry is the city centre hunt for a serial sex attacker, a murder inquiry and an apparently serious attack on an elderly priest - are any or all of these incidents connected and will Charlie stay sober long enough to find out?

For a brief moment young Luke Scarbrough was at a loss as to where he was. Darkness surrounded him and then he recognized the sound of an ember popping and it all came back to him. He . . . they, were back at the wagons, the site where the massacre had occurred more than two weeks ago. They had gotten back here during the night, he and the four he had taken back from the Indians; his older sister Belle, little sister Sally, and the two Anderson kids, Clara and Johnny. It now must be in the wee hours of the morning because when they got here they had celebrated their return for over an hour before finally going to bed. No one was stirring and the fire had burned out except when the breeze briefly brought an ember back to life causing it to momentarily flare brightly and then go dim. It was cold, he pulled the wool blanket tighter around his shoulders and neck. He would keep the nightmare at bay by staying awake a few minutes, maybe then it would not return. Come daylight they must load up and continue on to Oregon, on To Journey's End. But can they now make it before the mountain passes are blocked by heavy snow? NOTE: "To Journey's End" is the exhilarating sequel to "Taken; Ordeal on the Oregon Trail".

Bad things happen to the people that Pablo loves. Bad, bloody things. Indeed, his hapless path through life is littered with the human wreckage of lives badly wasted; of men, women and children inexplicably maimed and murdered. Though his presence is ever the common denominator among the many deaths that surround him, evidence never ties him physically to any of the crime scenes. One frustrated Texas detective believes Pablo is culpable after one fashion or another, but he can never prove his suspicions beyond reasonable doubt. When Pablo's threat becomes personal, however, he is hard pressed to act outside the law. During multiple decades of service to the City of Pecan Groves, Texas, he rose from the rank of patrolman to retire as a well-respected homicide detective. In all that time, he never experienced the sort of luck, both good and bad, exhibited by Pablo Chavez. How far will a lawman go to preserve the institution that he serves?
He's tall, lanky, flabby and sloppy, and his taste for women is low and vulgar. Bernie has one thing going for him, however, for he is prodigiously endowed as a man and he has a thing for ugly women. They dote and fawn over him and Bernie wallows in it all, much to the disgust and morbid curiosity of his co-workers, who have labeled his penchant for love's baser side "Bernie's Thing". Nobody knows how he does it, but all concede Bernie's success when, once every month, he arrives late at work with a new and noxious female companion hanging from his arm. Many women will say "size doesn't matter". Bernie knows the truth, as do the countless lonely women he dates in endless rotation. Is quantity superior to quality? What is quality, anyway? All is fair in war and love.
