LONDON. Early morning, June 2019: on the foreshore of the river
Thames, a bag of bones is discovered. Human bones. DCI Samuel Owusu
is called to the scene and quickly sends the bag for forensic
examination. The bones are those of a young woman, killed by a blow
to the head many years ago. Also inside the bag is a trail of
clues, in particular the seeds of a rare tree which lead DCI Owusu
back to a mansion in Chelsea where, nearly thirty years previously,
three people lay dead in a kitchen, and a baby waited upstairs for
someone to pick her up. The clues point forward too to a brother
and sister in Chicago searching for the only person who can make
sense of their pasts. Four deaths. An unsolved mystery. A family
whose secrets can't stay buried for ever ... ___________ 'Twisty
and strange and surprising' EMILY HENRY 'Dark menace, consummate
plotting. A sheer PLEASURE to read' HARRIET TYCE 'This is
perfection on a page.' ALICE FEENEY 'A riveting, rollicking read,

Sometimes the worst nightmares happen in broad daylight... An
utterly gripping novel for fans of Peter James and Mark Billingham,
from a rising star in the crime genre. A woman is found brutally
murdered on a quiet housing estate, her tongue and eyes
ritualistically gouged out. Children are being abducted and then
returned to their families days later without a scratch and with no
knowledge or where they have been - or with whom. If DC Laura
McGanity thought moving from London to sleepy Lancashire was taking
the easy option then she can think again. Already worried about
uprooting young son Bobby to follow her reporter boyfriend Jack
Garrett back to his hometown, she must quickly get a handle on
these mystifying cases terrifying the people of Blackley - without
putting the local officers' noses out of joint. Meanwhile, restless
Jack is itching to get back to his writing and the cases provide
the perfect opportunity to do so. But as he delves deeper into
them, he finds murky connections between the two crimes and
skeletons buried in the most unlikely of closets. Most astonishing
of all, he meets a man who 'paints' the future - terrible events
come to him in vivid dreams which he then puts onto canvas. This
'precognition' is not so much a gift as a curse and to Jack it
becomes terrifyingly that many people, including his own family,
are in danger...

Family first. Family last. The Glass family always... Charley Glass
arrived in her family's lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But
she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her
tail and want two things - her life, and the return of the property
she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up. After
years of hoping, Charley finally has the family she's always
wanted, but now she's going to have to tell them the real reason
she came looking for them. There is only one way she's going to
stay alive, and that is to employ the muscle of the notorious Glass
Family. The head of the family, Luke, isn't sure they're strong
enough to take on one of New Orleans' biggest crime gangs. But he'd
put his life on the line to protect the empire they've built - even
if they'll have to take on an enemy hurting enough to cross an
ocean for revenge. Page-turning, gritty, and utterly compelling,
Thief is Owen Mullen's best book yet. Perfect for fans of Martina
Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Mandasue Heller. What readers say
about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen knows how to ramp up the action
just when it's needed... he never fails to give you hard-hitting
thrillers that have moments that will stay with you forever...'
'One of the very best thriller writers I have ever read.' 'Owen
Mullen writes a good story, he really brings his characters to life
and the endings are hard to guess and never what you expected.'

Killer twists. Heroes to believe in. Trust Baldacci. Memory man FBI
agent, Amos Decker, returns in this action-packed thriller to
investigate the mysterious and brutal murder of a federal judge and
her bodyguard at her home in an exclusive, gated community in
Florida from international bestselling author David Baldacci.
Things are changing for Decker. He's in crisis following the
suicide of a close friend and receipt of a letter concerning a
personal issue which could change his life forever. Together with
the prospect of working with a new partner, Frederica White, Amos
knows that this case will take all of his special skills to solve.
As darkness falls, evil comes to light . . . Judge Julia Cummins
seemingly had no enemies, and there was no forced entry to her
property. Close friends and neighbours in the community apparently
heard nothing, and Cummins' distraught ex-husband, Barry, and
teenage son, Tyler, both have strong alibis. Decker must first find
the answer to why the judge felt the need for a bodyguard, and the
meaning behind the strange calling card left by the killer. Someone
has decided it's payback time.
