The Crime Syndicate
Welcome to The Crime Syndicate. Over 400 pages of addictive fast paced action guaranteed. MJ Newman distills a unique blend of Scottish noir and hardboiled crime fiction. Definitely one for Crime aficionados and fans who appreciate gritty, edgy Thriller writing.

Book 1: Violence In The Blood
Documents Thompson's rise to power from the backstreets of Glasgow to the industrial heartland of the Midlands. Malkie Thompson's got ambition and he won't let anything stand in his way in his bid to rise to the top. He's outgrown Glasgow and his boss, McAlister. It's time to step out from the shadow of his mentor and establish his own Firm.
Join the rampage as Malkie and his crew blaze a trail of mayhem and destruction north and south of the border, and witness the birth of the crime syndicate.

Book 2: In For The Kill
Malkie Thompson's out of favour, and this time Glasgow Crime Lord McAlister wants him gone - permanently. There's no turning back, he's sent for the cleaner, an ex-cop known simply as Baxter. He's the go to guy for delicate jobs, when problems need to disappear, no questions asked. If only it was that simple. Baxter's got his own set of problems. Haunted by the past, he vowed never to return, and now he's broke, with Callaghan's Newcastle firm closing in demanding he repay the debt. What choice does he have? He's backed into a corner. If he misses the deadline they're going after his family.

Book 3: Walk Amongst The Dead
They say Malkie Thompson's had his day, ill health and bad luck taking their toll. Some reckon change is long over due. Other's dare not speak the truth. The rivals sense blood and sharpen their blades. It's all on the line, with everything to play for - the stakes have never been higher. There are choices to be made, they can stand and fight, run for cover or get affiliated.
The bonds of loyalty and trust will be bathed in blood.

Book 4: A Call To Vengeance:
A multi-layered and unnerving depiction of gangland violence played out on the streets of the Midlands and the South Coast. Crime Boss Malkie Thompson's alone, holed up in an isolated derelict farmhouse, bleeding out from a bullet that was meant to kill. The image of his girlfriend Mimi's lifeless body etched to his retina.
Word's out, his nephew Jason Cunningham ordered the botched hit, question is - who's he working with?
Malkie's not done yet. Gun in hand, he's waiting for the end. One thing's for sure whichever way it plays out he'll go down fighting.
Wracked with guilt, George Patterson's heading south. Dispatched by Malkie, he already knows he's not coming back. No better than a dead man running, looking for a ghost he should have laid to rest long ago.
Ryan Peterson's spent the last fourteen years in exile, cultivating a web of lies and deceit to cover his tracks, but that's about to come to an end, as the past gate-crashes the present.
Brighton's infamous criminal outfit, the Donaldson brothers', are into him for £3k. The gloves are off and now they're holding his wife and child as collateral.
Ryan's choice is stark, flee north and start over with the Crime Syndicate. Or stay, face down the brothers' and save his family.
There will be blood, murder and mayhem, as each will answer A Call To Vengeance.
