A Wall Street Journal bestselling series. Searching for a missing
diver takes a Florida detective on a deep-diving adventure in a
gripping thriller by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Sea
Castle. After the Underwater Investigation Unit’s disbandment,
public outcry ushers Sloan McPherson and her partner, former navy
diver Scott Hughes, back into the depths of crime solving. But
Sloan’s return comes with a personal case. Longtime family friend
Fred Stafford has disappeared. Left behind: his abandoned truck in
the vicinity of an unmarked sinkhole and new findings that have
Sloan second-guessing everything she thought she knew about the
man. There are his gambling debts, his association with a
treasure-hunting band of underwater cavern junkies called the Dive
Rats, and most alarming of all, a discovery in Stafford’s storage
shed that raises the stakes even higher and plunges Sloan into an
unfathomable mystery. As Sloan’s investigation unfolds, a tragic
Florida cold case, local superstitions, and a shocking conspiracy
collide. For Sloan, finding Stafford and uncovering the buried
secrets of the past soon drag her deeper into the dark unknown than
she feared.
An Amazon Charts bestseller. For a Florida police diver, danger
rises to the surface in an adventurous thriller by the Wall Street
Journal bestselling author of The Naturalist. Coming from
scandalous Florida treasure hunters and drug smugglers, Sloan
McPherson is forging her own path, for herself and for her
daughter, out from under her family’s shadow. An auxiliary
officer for Lauderdale Shores PD, she’s the go-to diver for
evidence recovery. Then Sloan finds a fresh kill floating in a
canal—a woman whose murky history collides with Sloan’s. Their
troubling ties are making Sloan less a potential witness than a
suspect. And her colleagues aren’t the only ones following every
move she makes. So is the killer. Stalked by an assassin, pitted
against a ruthless cartel searching for a lost fortune, and under
watch within her ranks, Sloan has only one ally: the legendary DEA
agent who put Sloan’s uncle behind bars. He knows just how deep
corruption runs—and the kind of danger Sloan is in. To stay
alive, Sloan must stay one step ahead of her enemies—both known
and unknown—and a growing conspiracy designed to pull her under.
A Wall Street Journal bestseller. For a police diver in Florida,
solving a cold-case mystery brings a serial killer out of hiding in
a deep, dark thriller by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author
of The Naturalist. Sloan McPherson and the Underwater Investigation
Unit have discovered a van at the bottom of a murky Florida pond.
Sealed inside the watery tomb are the bodies of four teenagers who
disappeared thirty years ago after leaving a rock concert. To
authorities, it looks like a tragic accident. To Sloan, it looks
like murder. Every piece of evidence is starting to connect to a
string of cold case vanishings throughout Florida. Clue by clue,
Sloan navigates the warm, dark waters where natural predators feed,
knowing that the most dangerous one is still above the
surface-nesting and dormant. But when a fresh young kill is found
in the Everglades, Sloan fears that her investigation has
reawakened a monster. How can she catch someone who's a genius at
hiding in plain sight? By acting as prey. The dangerous gambit is
working-only too well. She's being lured into a deception of the
madman's own design. Has Sloan set a trap for a serial killer? Or
has he set one for her?

on a Fort Lauderdale beach, Sloan McPherson of the Underwater
Investigation Unit is called in to consult. Sloan's instinct says
murder, but even then, there are too many questions. For answers
she reaches out to Gwen Wylder. The Miami homicide detective is
notorious for being manipulative, bitter, a tyrant to her peers,
and wicked smart. And she demands something in return from Sloan:
fresh insight into seemingly unrelated cold-case murders and
disappearances-and a possible serial killer trolling the Florida
coast. As loose ends of the old files begin to come together,
another woman disappears. Sloan and Gwen are certain she's the
newest link in a deadly chain. They are determined to track her
down before she dies, but they soon find themselves in uncharted
waters. And the deeper Sloan and Gwen go, the stranger the case
gets.

it-Jessica and Theo must descend into the darkest of shadows-and
minds.

carry just as much weight as reality. As he becomes immersed in the
case, he discovers a far-reaching conspiracy-one that hasn't yet

case, Jessica must put all her unique knowledge to the test as the
FBI try to catch a ruthless killer. Needing to solve the
unsolvable, and with the clock ticking, they're banking on her

'Professional illusionist Mayne introduces a fresh angle to
serial-killer hunting.' Booklist 'Mayne has created an unbelievably
unforgettable book! 5 Stars!' Suspense Magazine
In this self-published bestselling e-book by a real
illusionist--the first thriller in a sensational series--now
available in paperback, FBI agent Jessica Blackwood believes she
has successfully left her complicated life as a gifted magician
behind her . . . until a killer with seemingly supernatural powers
puts her talents to the ultimate test.
A mysterious hacker, who identifies himself only as "Warlock,"
brings down the FBI's website and posts a code in its place. It
hides the GPS coordinates of a Michigan cemetery, where a dead girl
is discovered rising from the ground . . . as if she tried to crawl
out of her own grave.
Born into a dynasty of illusionists, Jessica Blackwood is
destined to become its next star--until she turns her back on her
troubled family, and her legacy, to begin a new life in law
enforcement. But FBI consultant Dr. Jeffrey Ailes's discovery of an
old copy of Magician Magazine will turn Jessica's carefully
constructed world upside down. Faced with a crime that appears
beyond explanation, Ailes has nothing to lose--and everything to
gain--by taking a chance on an agent raised in a world devoted to
seemingly achieving the impossible.
The body in the cemetery is only the first in the Warlock's
series of dark miracles. Thrust into the media spotlight, with time
ticking away until the next crime, can Jessica confront her past to
embrace her gifts and stop a depraved killer?
If she can't, she may become his next victim.
West Virginia: A church congregation vanishes in mysterious
circumstances, only to be found dead some miles away. The evidence
on the ground appears to indicate a ritual killing and the work of
demonic forces. Enter Jessica Blackwood, the FBI's specialist in
all things unusual. A former illusionist, Jessica's talent and
experience enable her to see what others cannot, as she proved in
the infamous 'Warlock' case. Maybe now, once again, the devil will
be in the details. Following the trail from West Virginia to Mexico
and Miami, Jessica uncovers a deadly conspiracy that might lead all
the way to the Vatican itself. Only with her unique understanding
of the powers of deception can they hope to stop a ruthless killer
from exacting a revenge that's been thirty years in the planning .

A black farce masterpiece, Loot follows the fortunes of two young
thieves, Hal and Dennis. Dennis is a hearse driver for an
undertaker. They have robbed the bank next door to the funeral
parlour and have returned to Hal's home to hide-out with the loot.
Hal's mother has just died and the pair put the money in her
coffin, hiding the body elsewhere in the house. With the arrival of
Inspector Truscott, the thickened plot turns topsy-turvy. Playing
with all the conventions of popular farce, Orton creates a world
gone mad and examines in detail English attitudes at mid-century.
The play has been called a Freudian nightmare, which sports with
superstitions about death - and life. It is regularly produced in
professional and amateur productions. First produced in London in
1966, Loot was hailed as "the most genuinely quick-witted, pungent
and sprightly entertainment by a new, young British playwright for
a decade" (Sunday Telegraph). The Student Edition offers a plot
summary, full commentary, character notes and questions for study,
besides a chronology and bibliography.
