EVIDENCE

The bodies of a young couple – murdered in flagrante and left in a gruesome embrace – are discovered in a half-built mansion in a glamorous part of LA. It’s a grisly case that needs the killer instincts of homicide cop Milo Sturgis and the keen insights of psychologist Alex Delaware.

The female victim is unknown but her companion is eco-friendly architect Desmond Backer, notorious for his seductive powers. Clearly not everyone has fallen for his charms. An elusive prince, an eccentric with an axe to grind, an ex-lover and her cuckolded husband – all are in the homicidal mix spiced with eco-terrorism, arson, blackmail, conspiracy, and a vicious vendetta. But when the investigation veers in a startling direction, it’s Alex and Milo who face a cornered predator’s final fury.

TELL-TALE

The chilling new international bestseller from Sam Hayes is a story of three women bound together by a shocking secret...

WHAT DO YOU DO...

A woman stands on a bridge, the water rushing below. In a few seconds she will jump, plunging more than two hundred feet to her death. Who is she? And why is she desperate to take her own life?


WHEN THERE'S NO WAY OUT...

Nina Kennedy, a wife and mother, is afraid. A man is following her, threatening her family, toying with her sanity. What does he want? And how long will it be before he strikes?

AND NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE?

Eight-year-old Ava sits waiting for her daddy. But, like the others in the children’s home, she knows her father will never come. The home is a place of whispers and shadows. But no one dare tell the truth. Until now...

DECEPTION
Her name is Elise Freeman, and her chilling cry for help – to whoever may be listening – comes too late to save her. On a DVD found near her lifeless body, the emotionally and physically battered woman chronicles a year-and-a-half-long ordeal of monstrous abuse at the hands of three sadistic tormentors. But even more shocking than the lurid details is the revelation that the offenders, like their victim, are teachers at one of LA’s most prestigious prep schools. With Elise dead, homicide detective Milo Sturgis is assigned to probe the hallowed halls of Windsor Prep Academy. And if ever he could use Dr Alex Delaware’s psychological prowess, it’s now.

From the start, this case promises to be an uphill climb for truth and a down-and-dirty fight for justice. Allegations of rape, assault, and possibly murder at this esteemed institution renowned for moulding Ivy Leaguers make for a social and political time bomb – especially given that one of the students has connections high up in City Hall. Alex and Milo must penetrate the citadel of wealth and scholarship to expose the hidden anguish, dirty secrets, and deadly sins festering amongst LA’s elite. But power and position are not easily surrendered, for that’s when the best and the brightest turn brutal and ugly. Searching for predators among the privileged, Alex and Milo may well be walking into a highly polished death trap.

FATAL LAST WORDS
It's no ordinary summer for Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner, as murder mystery leaps from the page into reality in the nineteenth volume of Quintin Jardine’s outstanding cop series.

It’s August and the Edinburgh International Book Festival is in full swing. So it’s a considerable embarrassment when one of Scotland’s most successful crime writers is found dead in the author tent. The victim’s phone was tapped. Are the spooks involved? Or has mystery fiction become true crime? A second victim begs the question: have the authors become targets themselves?

 
THE BROTHERHOOD OF FIVE
The Island of Thanet, 1808. One man is pushed into a kiln of molten metal beneath the looming shadow of the Shot Tower, and another is dug up from the sandy bay beyond. Who they were, and why they died so strangely, is no ordinary mystery, and Missing Persons Finder Whilbert Stroop has a hard time finding answers. 

On arrival in this marshy, coastal corner of Kent, on the very edge of England, Stroop tries to piece together the puzzle of these deaths, and the significance of the objects each man died trying to protect. It is a conspiracy that began ten years before on the battlefields of Europe, and one that will claim more lives before it is done.
