Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in Robotham's latest "expertly
paced and psychologically acute" (Kirkus Reviews) thriller that's
"one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down" (Stephen King).
If I could tell you one thing about my brother, it would be this:
two days after his nineteenth birthday, he killed our parents and
our twin sisters because he heard voices in his head. As defining
events go, nothing else comes close for Elias, or for me. As a boy,
Cyrus Haven survived a family massacre and slowly pieced his life
back together. Now, after almost twenty years, his brother is
applying to be released from a secure psychiatric hospital--and
Cyrus is expected to forgive Elias and welcome him home. In this
"brilliant novel" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto), Elias is returning
to a very different world. Cyrus is now a successful psychologist,
working with the police, sharing his house with Evie Cormac, a
damaged and gifted teenager who can tell when someone is lying.
Evie has gone back to school and is working part-time at an
inner-city bar, but she continues to struggle with authority and
following rules. When a man is murdered and his daughter
disappears, Cyrus is called in to profile the killer and help piece
together Maya Kirk's last hours. Police believe she was drugged and
driven away from the same bar where Evie is working. Soon, a second
victim is taken, and Evie is the only person who glimpsed the man
behind the wheel. But there's a problem. Only two people believe
her. One is Cyrus. The other is the killer.
THE GRIPPING SUMMER 2021 RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK, FROM
THE NO.1 BESTSELLER AND MASTER OF SUSPENSE A secret room. A silent

thinks unravelling Evie's secrets will free her from the past. But
he has no idea what he's about to unleash . . . If you love WHEN

won't he let you go?' I ask. 'He thinks he owns me.' To Philomena
McCarthy, being a police officer means never turning your back on
someone in trouble. So when a decorated detective beats his
girlfriend and the case is covered up, Phil secretly helps her. But
as Phil lets her new friend deeper into her life, sinister things
start happening. And by the time she's truly afraid, it's already
too late . . . 'With each new book, I say it's his best. Well, THIS

REVIEW 'Superbly entertaining' ***** READER REVIEW 'Dark, intense

No.1 Fiction bestseller in Australia in June 2021
From an author who Stephen King calls "an absolute master" comes a
"heart-clutching psychological thriller" (People) about a young
female police officer facing danger on all fronts--from a clever
victim of abuse, skeptical colleagues on the force, and even her
own father. Philomena McCarthy is an ambitious police officer with
the elite Metropolitan Police in London, responding to a domestic
violence call. Tempe Brown is a bloodied young woman and the
mistress of a decorated and intimidating London detective, Darren
Goodall. Philomena and Tempe strike up a tentative friendship,
determined to protect each other from Goodall, but something isn't
quite right about the stories Tempe tells and the secrets she
keeps. Yet the young officer is drawn into Tempe's world, unsure of
what is real or invented. After a bungled break-in and an unsolved
murder, Philomena finds herself trapped--with her career, her
impending wedding, and her very survival in doubt. Robotham's
brilliant ability to render complex characters, both good and bad,
keeps readers unsure of whom to trust, "maintain[ing] an air of
excruciating suspense" (The Washington Post)--until the very last
page.
Twenty years ago, Cyrus Haven’s family was murdered and only he and his brother survived. Cyrus because he hid. Elias because he was the killer.

As he prepares for the homecoming, Cyrus is called to a crime scene in Nottingham. A man is dead and his daughter, Maya, is missing. Then a second woman is abducted. The only witness is Evie Cormac, a troubled teenager with a gift for knowing when people are lying.
Both missing women have dark secrets that Cyrus must unravel to find them – and he and Evie know how the past can come back to haunt you . . .

Tempe Brown, the girlfriend of a decorated detective. The incident
is hushed up, but Phil has unwittingly made a dangerous enemy with
powerful friends. Determined to protect each other, the two women
strike up a tentative friendship. Tempe is thoughtful and sweet and
makes herself indispensable to Phil, but sinister things keep
happening and something isn't quite right about the stories Tempe
tells. When a journalist with links to Phil's father and to the
detective is found floating in the Thames, Phil doesn't know where
to turn, who to blame or who she can trust. __________ PRAISE FOR

The eighth thriller in the Joe O'Loughlin series, the inspiration
for the major ITV series The Suspect. I close my eyes and feel my
heart begin racing Someone is coming They're going to find me A
mother and her teenage daughter are found murdered in a remote
farmhouse, one defiled by multiple stab wounds and the other left
lying like Sleeping Beauty waiting for her Prince. Reluctantly,
clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin is drawn into the
investigation when a former student, calling himself 'the
Mindhunter', jeopardises the police inquiry by leaking details to
the media and stirring up public anger. With no shortage of
suspects and tempers beginning to fray, Joe discover links between
these murders and a series of brutal attacks where his victims have
been choked unconscious and had the letter 'A' carved into their
foreheads. As the case becomes ever more complex, nothing is quite
what it seems and soon Joe's fate, and that of those closest to
him, become intertwined with a merciless, unpredictable killer . .
. Although the Joe O'Loughlin books can be read in any order, Close
Your Eyes is the eighth in the series after Watching You. The next
in the series is The Other Wife. Praise for Michael Robotham's
thrillers: 'I love this guy's books' Lee Child 'Will have you

A new edition of the novel that marked the debut of one of
contemporary suspense fiction's most compelling heroes: "A gripping
first novel...taut and fast-moving." --Washington Post"
Renowned psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin has it all--a thriving
practice, a devoted, beautiful, fiercely intelligent wife, and a
lovely young daughter. But when he's diagnosed with Parkinson's,
O'Loughlin begins to dread the way his exceptional mind has been
shackled to a failing body, and the cracks in his perfect existence

At first, O'Loughlin is delighted to be called in to a high-profile
murder investigation, hoping his extraordinary abilities at
perception will help bring a killer to justice. But when O'Loughlin
recognizes the victim as one of his former patients, an emotionally
disturbed young woman who nearly brought ruin upon him, O'Loughlin
hesitates-a fateful decision that soon places O'Loughlin at the top
of the lists of both a bullish detective, and a diabolical killer
