author of The Baztan Trilogy, a female detective follows a
psychopathic killer into the eye of a storm. Amaia Salazar, a young
detective from the north of Spain, has joined a group of trainees
at the FBI Academy in Virginia. Haunted by her past and having

Composer's victims are entire families annihilated in the chaos of
natural disasters, their bodies posed with chilling purpose amid
the ruins. Dupree and Amaia follow his trail to New Orleans. The
clock is ticking. It's the eve of the worst hurricane in the city's
history. But a troubling call from Amaia's aunt back home awakens
in Amaia the ghosts from her childhood and sends her down a path as
dark as that of the coming storm.

In pre-WWII Sweden, fate and secrets change an impetuous young
woman's life in a novel of deception, true love, and reinvention by
the bestselling author of The Inheritance of Lion Hall. Sweden,
1931. Matilda Wallin has a future in Stockholm: business college,
then establishing a company with the young man she plans to marry.
It's all upended by her mother's death-and a stranger who has been
appointed her guardian. Matilda has no idea who Countess Agneta
Lejongard is or why this aristocrat has taken an interest in her.
Agneta summons Matilda to live with her and her family on their
magnificent country estate but remains mysterious about her
connection to Matilda. Torn from her previous life and its
promises, Matilda has no choice but to follow Agneta to venerated
Lion Hall. At first resistant to rural aristocratic life, Matilda
tries to adjust. In Agneta's son Ingmar, Matilda finds a new
friend. In Ingmar's twin brother, Magnus, she finds a churl who
dismisses her as an interloper beneath his family's stature. But
just as the estate and Agneta's benevolence win Matilda's heart,
she discovers the secret that ties her to the Lejongards in ways
she never imagined, which could change her life once again. Now,
Matilda must make a decision: return to Stockholm and the
commitments of her heart or take a risk on the unknown at Lion
Hall.
An unconventional woman defies the rules of noble
turn-of-the-century Sweden in an epic novel of love, secrets,
family ties, and rediscovery by the bestselling author of The
Moonlit Garden. Sweden, 1913. Having petitioned the court for
independence from her aristocratic family, the young and vibrant
Agneta Lejongard takes control of her destiny. In Stockholm, she
explores her bohemian passions in art and free love, joins the
suffragette movement with her best friend, and defiantly resists
the expectations of women in high society. Then comes news of a
tragic accident and an urgent summons to return to the family's
manor house in the country. As for Agneta's forward path in life,
she must now follow it back home. Though the grand horse-breeding
estate of Lion Hall stirs some warm memories, what lies ahead tests
Agneta's independent spirit: a disapproving mother locked in the
traditions of a woman's proper place, two men vying for Agneta's
heart, and a twist of fate that upends her life once again. Torn
between a daughter's duty and the freedom she pines for, Agneta
struggles not only to rebuild her future, but also to protect the
future of Lion Hall itself. Forging a new path brings challenges,
rewards, and a true purpose that she never could have imagined.
The award-winning, international bestselling page-turner about the
secrets and lies of one man that lead another into a treacherous
house of strangers... When novelist Manuel Ortigosa learns that his
husband, Alvaro, has been killed in a car crash, it comes as a
devastating shock. It won't be the last. He's now arrived in
Galicia. It's where Alvaro died. It's where the case has already
been quickly closed as a tragic accident. It's also where Alvaro
hid his secrets. The man to whom Manuel was married for fifteen
years was not the unassuming man he knew. Alvaro's trail leads
Manuel deep into one of Spain's most powerful and guarded families.
Behind the walls of their forbidding estate, Manuel is nothing but
an unwelcome and dangerous intruder. Then he finds two allies: a
stubbornly suspicious police lieutenant and Alvaro's old friend-and
private confessor-from seminary school. Together they're collecting
the pieces of Alvaro's past, his double life, and his mysterious
death. But in the shadows of nobility and privilege, Manuel is
about to unravel a web of corruption and deception that could be as
fatal a trap for him as it was for the man he loved.
