My Mother Was a Bank Robber
Summary
When Martha’s heart suddenly stops, it gives her the chance to reflect on her life. Something is missing, and it’s more than just adrenaline. She hasn’t seen her son, Matt, in 20 years, and has no idea that his wife Emma has started talking about babies. Matt, though, is worried about his genetic inheritance: Can a penchant for bank robbery be passed through the generations? And can he seek advice from his work colleague Rip, whose entire life experience is based on video games? When Martha’s psychotherapist suggests role-play, Martha realises that despite her advancing years there’s only one solution to her torpor. She needs to rob another bank.

Ashton wants to paint him naked, and then there's the Contessa. Suzy isn't certain they've broken up. One thing’s for sure: Sam's life has been turned upside down.

The Badger and Blondie's Beaver
Summary
Madeleine misses her old life in Paris. Her work as a forensic scientist is going great, but now she's marooned in the country and her social life, or more accurately her sex life, is a disaster. When she's called upon to extract a severed head from a weir, she meets Sam. Sam is her perfect man, but murder, mannequins, cocaine, the drug squad, Customs and Excise, multiple arrests, and the Mafia get in the way. Sam, Oliver, and William are three young graduates desperate to make a fast buck. The plan seems so simple, it just involves the not-entirely-legal business of transporting silver which, by way of a cunning disguise, has been fashioned into dildos. But the journey refuses to go to plan.
