In early-nineteenth century Scotland, sixteen-year-old Josie, an
orphan, is sent to live with an aunt and uncle on the rocky, stormy
northwest coast. Everything and everyone in her new surroundings,
including her relatives, is sinister, threatening, and mysterious.
She's told that Eli, the young man she's attracted to, is forbidden
to her, but not why. Spirited, curious, and determined, Josie sets
out to learn the village's secrets and discovers evil, fueled by
heartless greed, as well as a ghostly presence eager for revenge.
An author's note gives the historical inspiration for this story.
In 1982, two teenagers-serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US
Marshal candidate Travis Bell-are recruited by the FBI to interview
convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold
cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship,
gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't
crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active
case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin
to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the
country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage
sociopath Simon Gutmunsson. Despite Travis's objections, Emma
becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon
seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives,
he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has
his sights set on Emma. Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None
Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the
monsters that live among us, but also the monsters that live inside
us.

and defiant bravery of the Underdogs are pitched against the might

him the second most powerful person in Britain. But it's
conditional on the success of his next mission: the discovery and
annihilation of Spitfire's Rise. The Underdogs fight for the safety
of countless prisoners, clueless that their home is being hunted.
As each side launches their respective attacks, it's only a matter
of time until one triumphs decisively over the other.
