Rhiannon Lewis thought she finally had it all: thanks to the pandemic
she’s had to keep a much lower profile but has found happiness with her
fiancé Rafael and his family. For once, she is surrounded by people who
love her for who she is (or who they think she is).
After over 800 days without murdering anyone, the woman formerly known
as the Sweetpea Killer thinks she might have finally turned over a new
leaf.
That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her
abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time,
with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher. Wedded bliss
and life as a normal person are finally within Rhiannon's reach, but
you can never keep a good serial killer down.
Can you?
Nothing Ventured is the first thrilling novel in the William Warwick
series, by the master storyteller and bestselling author of the Clifton
Chronicles and Kane and Abel, Jeffrey Archer.
This is not a detective story, this is a story about a detective.
William Warwick is eight when he decides to join the police force.
Resolute in the face of his prominent QC father’s objections, William
graduates in Art History from university and immediately enrols as a
constable in the Metropolitan Police.
Gaining insight from his first mentor, an experienced, world-weary
constable, his keen mind quickly takes him into a role in Scotland
Yard’s Art and Antiques unit and his first case: the recovery of a
Rembrandt stolen from the Fitzmolean Museum.
It will take skill and tenacity for William to solve the crime, and
along the way he will encounter many who will change his life, from
Miles Faulkner, a crooked art collector, and his influential lawyer –
who bends the law to the point of breaking – to research assistant Beth
Rainsford, a woman with secrets who he falls hopelessly in love with .
. .
William Warwick’s destiny is set, the only question is, how far will
his ambition take him?
Thrilling, absorbing and entertaining, Nothing Ventured introduces a
character destined to become one of Archer's most enduring legacies.
Continue the series with Hidden in Plain Sight and Turn a Blind Eye.
She could be anyone. She could be you.
Nobody ever found out what happened to Laika Martenwood, the girl who
vanished without a trace on her way to school one morning. But for her
sister Willa, life shattered into tiny pieces that day, and she has
never been able to put them back together again.
Willa sees Laika everywhere: on buses, at parties, in busy streets.
It’s been twenty-five years, and the only thing that has kept her going
is her belief that her sister is alive, somewhere.
But when a dinner party conversation about childhood memories spirals
out of control, a shattering revelation from one of the guests forces
Willa to rethink everything she thought she knew about her past. And,
out of the debris of that explosive evening, the truth of what really
happened begins to emerge. Piece by piece.
