"When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, however
improbable, must be the truth..." Arthur Conan Doyle - On the banks
of the river Thames a massive new building is being completed. A
stunning creation of glass and concrete that will be a new landmark
on London's skyline. And people are dying because of it... Dozens
of mysterious unexplained accidents have claimed the lives of
workmen during the construction and journalist Jessica Anderson is
convinced that the owner of the building, a billionaire Russian
businessman, knows more about the accidents than he is revealing.
Enlisting the help of a former colleague, Jess tries to investigate
the shadowy industrialist but finds that far harder than she
imagined. Protected by a private security force and cocooned by his
entourage, this powerful man proves to be as elusive as anyone she
has ever known. He values his privacy and seems willing to go to
any ends to protect it. But what is he hiding? As she delves into
his background she discovers that one of his ancestors lived in
London during the 1930's on the same site where the Crystal Tower
was constructed and death and destruction surrounded that ancestor
too. Is there a link between these two men? Jess is convinced there
is and when a series of horrific attacks and murders take place,
perpetrated against men who want to stop the Russians next building
project, she finds herself plunged into a maelstrom of fear and
events that threaten not just her life but her very sanity...
Something from the darkest reaches of myth and superstition has
been unleashed upon a modern world and it seems no one can stop
it...
Louisville, Kentucky 1898 Ten years earlier, Jack the Ripper
terrorized London's Whitechapel district. Assigned to the case,
Detective Inspector Nathan James discovered the Ripper's true
nature, and made a decision that changed his life. But the murders
stopped, and the Ripper disappeared. Now living in Louisville,
Kentucky, Nathan runs a saloon, while trying to keep his
relationship with his manservant, Stephen, secret. He's never
forgotten his failure to stop the Ripper, and when murdered
prostitutes start showing up, suspects the elusive killer stalks
the city's streets. But is the Ripper responsible for these deaths,
and will he reveal Nathan's and Stephen's darkest secret?
From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes The
Secret of Cold Hill. The spine-chilling follow-up to The House on
Cold Hill. Now a smash-hit stage play. Cold Hill House has been
razed to the ground by fire, replaced with a development of
ultra-modern homes. Gone with the flames are the violent memories
of the house's history, and a new era has begun. Although much of
Cold Hill Park is still a construction site, the first two families
move into their new houses. For Jason and Emily Danes, this is
their forever home, and for Maurice and Claudette Penze-Weedell,
it's the perfect place to live out retirement. Despite the ever
present rumble of cement mixers and diggers, Cold Hill Park appears
to be the ideal place to live. But looks are deceptive and it's
only a matter of days before both couples start to feel they are
not alone in their new homes. There is one thing that never appears
in the estate agent brochures: nobody has ever survived beyond
forty in Cold Hill House and no one has ever truly left . . .
