Harry Gilmore has no idea of the terrible danger he faces when he
meets a beautiful girl in a local student bar. Drugged and
abducted, Harry wakes up in a secure wooden compound deep in the
Welsh countryside, where he is groomed by the leaders of a
manipulative cult, run by the self-proclaimed new messiah known as
The Master. When the true nature of the cult becomes apparent,
Harry looks for any opportunity to escape. But as time passes, he
questions if The Master's extreme behavior and teachings are the
one true religion. With Harry's life hanging by a thread, a team of
officers, led by Detective Inspector Laura Kesey, investigate his
disappearance. But will they find him before it's too late?

While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a
phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre
has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling
symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort
through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of
clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to
see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of
Sion, a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor
Hugo, and Da Vinci, and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret.
Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while
avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the
explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.
Some will know how it begins . . .
My name is Sandy.
My husband is Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.

a complicated present and an uncertain future.
Then she was gone.
Some will think they know how it ends . . .
Her disappearance caused a nationwide search. Even the best detective
on the force couldn't find her.
They thought she was dead.
But nobody knows this . . .
Where did she go? Why did she run? What would cause a woman to leave
her whole life behind and
simply vanish?
For the first time the truth behind Sandy Grace’s dramatic
disappearance is revealed. They Thought I Was Dead will thrill fans and
new readers alike with its gripping story of a woman on the run. This
is Sandy's story.
When the UK's favourite breakfast TV presenter dies live on air in
front of millions of viewers, the nation is left devastated.
More devastated still when it becomes clear that her death was not an
accident.
The evidence points to one culprit: celebrity chef Sebastian Brooks.
But junior barrister Adam Green is about to discover that the case is
not as open-and-shut as it first seemed.
And although her angelic persona would suggest otherwise, she was not
short of enemies in the glittery TV world . . .
Can Adam uncover the truth?
One beautiful Californian evening, a wealthy businessman falls to his
death from his secluded cliff-top house onto the rocks below.
A tragic accident? Or murder?
Nora and her half-brother Sam suspect it may be the latter, and team up
to uncover the truth of what really happened that night.
But their relationship has never been easy, and it is about to be
tested to the limit as they start to question how well either of them
really knew their elusive father.
Unravelling his mysterious past takes them back to a world they knew
nothing about, to a tangled love affair and a web of relationships that
other people would far rather stay buried...
Filled with passion, intrigue, lies, and dark, dark family secrets, The
Night We Lost Him is a page turning mystery you won’t ever want to put
down.
Special Agent Hunter McCallum of the US State Department's Diplomatic Security Service anticipated his three-year assignment in South Africa would be a breeze compared to the chaos of his previous post. He envisioned trips exploring the Western Cape Winelands, savoring fine wines, and thrilling safaris in the Northern Bushveld, where the biggest threat would be a curious lion.
But from the moment his boots hit South African soil, the reality was starkly different.

Inspired by real events and true stories from special agents, it's a visceral experience where danger lurks at every turn. Journey with Special Agent Hunter McCallum as he navigates treacherous terrain, high-stakes espionage, and ruthless retribution.

In Africa, men - and women - will risk all for the lure of gold.
Deep underground in the Eureka mine, South Africa's zama-zamas illegally hunt for gold. King of this brutal underworld is Wellington Shumba, a man who rules his illegal miners through fear of torture and death. Running Eureka's legitimate operation is former recce-commando, Cameron McMurtrie. When one of his engineers is taken hostage, Cameron does not hesitate to mastermind a dramatic rescue - and finish it off with a manhunt for Wellington. That is until corporate interference from the mine's Australian head office, in the shape of ambitious high-flyer Kylie Hamilton, gets in his way. Kylie is visiting South Africa supposedly to finalise a new mine on the border of the famed Kruger National Park, but instead, she and Cameron are forced into a partnership to fend off an environmental war above ground, and a deadly battle with a ruthless killer below.
Cameron and Kylie have become Wellington's prey. They must unite - their lives depend on it.
