In the picturesque seaside town of St Ives, Detective Sergeant Sophie Keane is a pillar of the community. Between the occasional collar and lazy weekends spent on the beach, it seems a perfect life. But for Sophie, the golden sands and crystal waters hide a dark secret, one that’s lain buried for twenty years.
When a body turns up on the opening night of a glittering new art gallery on the seafront, the town is left shaken―especially Sophie, who recognises the killer’s style but knows that what she fears just couldn’t be possible…
With a killer on the loose, everyone’s a suspect―especially newcomer Gabriel Rowe, who seems to have settled in far too quickly for her liking. For Sophie, he’s guilty until proven innocent…
Suspense is peppered with roma
I was the guy who always found a way.
I was the guy that couldn't be stopped.
A drug-dealing hit man unburdens his fears to a stranger. An overlooked
rookie cop is assigned to the department’s file room. A ruthless killer
only kills bad guys. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he’s
outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. . .
Meticulously plotted and utterly compelling, these are intimate
portraits of humanity at its best and worst. Each story is entirely
distinct. And with their economical prose and unexpected twists, each
could only have been written by the creator of Jack Reacher.
INCLUDES A BONUS SHORT STORY FROM LEE CHILD AND TESS GERRITSEN,
STARRING JACK REACHER AND MAGGIE BIRD.

Combining the storytelling talents of Reese Witherspoon and Harlan
Coben into one masterpiece of suspense fiction, Gone Before Goodbye is
the unforgettable story of an indomitable woman, trapped in a
conspiracy she helped create but can’t understand. Her harrowing search
for the truth could expose a plot woven throughout the exclusive world
of the global ultra elite – but at an unfathomable cost to Maggie
herself.
Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned
Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she
could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan…until it
wasn’t.
Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her
medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her
nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by
a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele
demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.
Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and
cutting-edge technology, one of the world’s most mysterious men
requires unconventional medical assistance. Desperate, and one of the
few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie
enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the
agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under
her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself – or she will be the
next one who is…

Philo Vance's final cases
These are the final two tales in the complete Leonaur collection of
the Philo Vance Murder Cases. Volume six contains the eleventh
novel-'The Gracie Allen Murder Case'. Fortunately George Burn's
zany companion is not the victim of the crime, but she provides
predictable comic relief to the case, making this an unusual and
quite experimental Vance story. The twelfth and final story, 'The
Winter Murder Case', is in fact a short novel-that once again
demonstrates the insight and understanding of one of fiction's
great fictional characters. Included in this final volume are S. S.
Van Dine's rules for detective story writing, which make this book
a must not only for Philo Vance fans but for aspiring authors as
well!
The latest race-against-time instalment of the award-winning Grace
series, now a major ITV show.
Hunting him would be murder . . .
When James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the
back of the small church. But, as the service progresses, Taylor
notices a man six rows in front of him. At first he thinks he must be
mistaken, but the more he looks at the man, the more convinced Taylor
becomes that this is his old schoolfriend Rufus Rorke.
Except it couldn’t be him, could it? Because two years ago Taylor
attended Rufus Rorke’s funeral. He even delivered Rufus’s eulogy.
On the other side of Brighton, at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent
Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he
can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And how could they
possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?
Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be.
A ghostwriter is locked in an interview room with a man who might be a murderer, in this gripping mystery thriller from the #1 bestselling author of 56 Days and The Trap.
The night Jack Smyth ran into flames in a desperate attempt to save his wife from their burning home, he was, tragically, too late - but hailed a hero. Until it emerged that Kate was dead long before the fire began. Suspicion has stalked him ever since. After all, there's no smoke without fire.
A year on, he's signed a book deal. He wants to tell his side of the story, to prove his own innocence in print. He just needs someone to help him write it.
Emily has never ghostwritten anything before, but she knows what it’s like to live with a guilty secret. And she's about to learn that there are some stories that should never be told . . .
Serial killer Alistair Ashcroft is back and more terrifying than
ever. He sends a sinister warning to DS Marie Evans and breaks into
DI Rowan Jackman's uneasy domestic bliss. Now everyone Jackman
cares about is in danger. Yet for all Ashcroft's taunts, he is
nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, a seemingly routine break-in at the
home of gun-club owner Kenneth Harcourt becomes complicated when
the man long held responsible for killing Harcourt's young daughter
is shot dead in a car park - by a sniper. A killer is on the loose
in the quiet streets of Saltern-le-Fen, and he isn't going to stop.
And the sniper, like Ashcroft, takes to taunting the police:
they'll never catch him, they need to respect him, they shouldn't
be sidetracked looking for their old adversary. Jackman and Evans
find themselves in a lethal game of cat-and-mouse, but are they the
cats or the mice?
Two great murder mysteries from the Big Apple!
This is the fifth-and penultimate-volume of the Philo Vance Murder
Cases published by Leonaur. The first story-the ninth in the
series-'The Garden Murder Case', takes its name from the New York
city rooftop garden where Vance witnesses the crime take place as a
gunshot brings sudden death to a distinguished company gathered to
enjoy-horse racing! The tenth story, 'The Kidnap Murder Case',
reveals the plot in its title. A member of the wealthy Kenting
family is kidnapped and soon Vance is engaged in an intrigue of
murder involving priceless gemstones. All the Philo Vance novels
are available from Leonaur-two per volume-in complementing
softcover or hardcover with dust jacket.
Guest lecturer at a college for women, psychologist Miss Pym, steps
in to prevent a young student from cheating during final exams, an
act of compassion that precipitates a fatal "accident"--or was it
murder?
