In 1910, Dr. John Watson travels to Egypt with his wife Juliet. Her
tuberculosis has returned and her doctor recommends a stay at a
sanitarium in a dry climate. But while his wife undergoes
treatment, Dr. Watson bumps into an old friend - Sherlock Holmes,
in disguise and on a case. An English Duke with a penchant for
egyptology has disappeared, leading to enquiries from his wife and
the Home Office. Sherlock Holmes has discovered that the missing
duke has indeed vanished from his lavish rooms in Cairo and that he
was on the trail of a previous undiscovered and unopened tomb. And
that he's only the latest Egyptologist to die or disappear under
odd circumstances. With the help of Howard Carter, Holmes and
Watson are on the trail of something much bigger, more important,
and more sinister than an errant lord.

A hypersonic missile. A genetically engineered army. A worldwide plot
of destruction . . .
When Juan Cabrillo, captain of the state-of-the-art Oregon, is hired to
extract an undercover operative in Kenya, he lands his crew in a
snakepit of trouble – and at the centre of a possible Middle Eastern
war.
Seeking to block the deadly ambitions of a Saudi prince, Cabrillo's
crew need to find two missing hypersonic missiles while also facing
down a force of bio-hacked soldiers endowed with an unquenchable
appetite for violence.
From a remote Tibetan fortress via the Amazon rainforest to the jagged
mountains of Yemen, the Oregon team must use every shred of courage and
cunning they can muster to stop the Arabian Sea turning red . . .
When the body of a young woman is discovered in a derelict cottage in Los Angeles, Robert Hunter is thrown into a nightmare case. The victim suffered a terrible death, and on the nape of her neck has been carved a strange double-cross: the signature of a psychopath known as the Crucifix Killer.
But that's impossible. Because two years ago, the Crucifix Killer was caught and executed. Could this therefore be a copycat killer? Or could the unthinkable be true? Is the real killer still out there, ready to embark once again on a vicious and violent killing spree, selecting his victims seemingly at random, taunting Robert Hunter with his inability to catch him?
Hunter and his rookie partner, Garcia, need to solve this case and fast.
The days off are the hardest, because they give Margaret time to
think. A moment of weakness leads to cocktails with a colleague -
an attraction she knows could be dangerous - at the luxurious Hotel
Bel-Air bar. A stroll through the grounds leads to a grim discovery
beneath the surface of Swan Lake: the body of a successful attorney
who made his fortune in international trade. It initially appears
to be death by misadventure, but the case is anything but
straightforward. As a series of shocking revelations emerge, Nolan
finds herself confronting a sinister cabal that just might destroy
her and everyone she loves.
