THE CLOCK IS TICKING TO CATCH A SERIAL KILLER…
Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job –
transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing
murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the 'Fortnight
Killer'.
Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the
scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is
never seen again.
This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but he’s
been lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. It’s been
twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the
investigation’s running out of time.
Angus's shiny new job might just be the death of him…
An extreme game of hide-and-seek turns deadly in this riveting new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger.

But as the players gather on Falcao Island, the event quickly spirals into a chilling test of survival. A storm rages as a deadly threat stalks the contestants, turning the challenge into something far more sinister than the social media stunt it was intended to be.
Enter Adele, a single mother with a fierce determination to protect her children at all costs. When she begins the game, she unwittingly enters a twisted web of deception and intrigue. Can she maneuver through the treacherous storm and the relentless competition and get home to her family?
In a ruthless battle for survival where the stakes are higher than ever, the blurry line between the virtual and the real proves that the only person we can trust is ourselves.

They thought they found heaven on earth. They discover a living hell.
When Brandt 'Doc' Savage and his girlfriend Kira land on a desert
island in the middle of the Atlantic, they think they've found a
perfect utopia. An escape from their tumultuous pasts.
But they don't have long to enjoy their new-found peace before they are
violently separated and dragged to opposite ends of the earth.

entangled in a global conspiracy that is bigger than he ever could have
imagined.
Can Doc and Kira find each other before one of their many enemies
catches them first?
In many ways, the brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have succeeded in life.
Or at least they’ve had as much success as is possible in a small town
like Os where they've had to kill their way to the top. Carl manages
the area’s swanky spa hotel, while Roy has made ambitious plans for an
amusement park complete with a roller coaster.
The only way is up for the two brothers. Unless the local sheriff can
bring them down.
The sheriff believes he has new evidence that will prove the brothers
involvement in several past murders, but Carl and Roy Opgard are used
to covering their tracks, and they're not afraid to get their hands
dirty.
The high body count of Os is about to get higher.
Blood Ties is a grandiose and explosive suspense novel about loyalty,
family ties, consuming love, and the fight against powerful forces. It
will transport you to a community in crisis and tell the story of two
brothers on the verge of losing all that they’ve fought for.
A murderer, a victim, and a witness... but no one in this house is

victim, but he won't let her or her family escape justice this time
around. Grieving her husband and struggling to make ends meet, Rose
returns home, hoping to finally confront her domineering father and

not the people closest to her. From USA Today bestselling author
Carter Wilson comes a story of deception, hereditary sin, and what
we'll do to protect our own.
