An Amazon NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER!
“A moody, enveloping crime thriller.” (SPR Editorial Review)
—————————————————-
A Murderer on the Loose.
A Detective Haunted by the Past.
A Race Against Time.
DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in North West England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell bent on redemption, if he can stay healthy for long enough that is.
After a body turns up in the sleepy village of Rufford, Walker returns from his leave of absence early, his experience deemed crucial for the case. But when it transpires the crime may be linked to a decades old cold case involving the murder of his sister, the crime becomes personal: he needs this—for his wife and kids, to make amends for past mistakes, and for the current victim—but he must toe the line if he isn’t to be thrown off the case.
When more people start to go missing and bodies turn up with the same bizarre signature, Walker and his team realise they have a serial killer on their hands. But time is running out if they want to save more people from dying, and one in particular, and Walker has to consider breaking the law himself to make things right, once and for all.

Blood has always flown easy for Ian Kelly.
He’s spent a double life as part of a secret government program. Plucked from the foster care system at a young age for exhibiting a rare personality profile, trained to kill, then set loose on enemies of the free world.
These days blood is thicker.
With two grown kids old enough to be asking too many questions. Raising themselves while Ian travels the globe on official murder business.
But Ian tells himself, just one more mission, because world peace means someone has to kill the killers. His latest assignment has him sent to Dubai to investigate a wealthy playboy who the CIA thinks is dealing weapons. Back home, his son Brandon has taken his mother’s murder investigation into his own hands. The police chalked it up as an incidental slaying from gangland crossfire. But there’s something odd about the lack of news coverage and haphazard homicide report.
Ian is deep into his mission when he catches word of his son’s sleuthing, putting him on a clock to eliminate his target and race home before Brandon follows a trail that could lead him to his father’s true identity, or worse, the Cartels.
Dexter meets The Gray Man in this pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Coben, Child, and Greaney.

Karis Booth solves four murders using her psychic abilities.
A Deadly Delivery Things are changing rapidly for Karis. As well as filing for divorce from her unfaithful husband, she decides it’s time to make peace with her estranged sister, Erin. With trepidation, Karis visits the café which Erin owns. To her great relief, Erin welcomes Karis back into her life with open arms.
During their reconciliation, a young woman, Carmel, calls into the café with a bread delivery. As Karis watches Carmel, she experiences a strong psychic vision. She sees two shadows following Carmel. Only one of the shadows belongs to Carmel — the other belongs to the person who is going to murder her later that day.
With help from her sister and an old neighbour, Karis does all that she can to find out who murdered Carmel. It doesn’t help that the investigating officer is an ex-boyfriend who broke up with Karis because he couldn’t cope with her psychic abilities. Despite this, Karis won’t rest until she finds the killer.
A Fatal Wedding Using money from her divorce settlement, Karis invests in her sister’s café. Not only are Karis and Erin planning to extend the café premises, but they are going to hold regular craft evenings there too.
A young woman, Bryony, asks if Karis and Erin can help her make a batch of wedding favours for her upcoming wedding. The sisters decide to use this as an opportunity to host their first craft evening, much to Bryony’s delight. During the craft evening, Karis receives a vision concerning Bryony and the wedding favours. It unsettles Karis to know Bryony has an enemy who wishes her harm.
Things get worse when Karis foresees a murder taking place at Bryony’s wedding. Will Karis be able to stop the murder? Or will she be too late?
Tea And Murder Karis suspects something is wrong when her morning cup of tea has an unusually foul taste. She dismisses that thought and goes to the café which she co-owns with her sister. There, she meets a builder called Howie McGarry.
Shortly after meeting Howie, Karis has a vision which shows him being murdered by poisoned tea.
To Karis’ dismay, Howie’s wife is someone who went to school with her. Once the vision is made known, Vanessa McGarry ridicules Karis and calls her by the vicious nickname she gave her at school – Krazy Karis. Vanessa tells Howie not to believe a word Karis says.
Despite Vanessa’s hateful words, Karis knows she has to do something to prevent Howie’s murder. Will she stop his untimely death in time?
The Knitting Pattern Mystery A knitting class is held at the café which Karis co-owns with her sister, Erin. An old knitting pattern is brought into the café and Karis is immediately drawn to it.
It’s not long before Karis starts to experience visions which are brought on by the pattern, and some of those visions reveal a murder will take place soon. With a sense of urgency, Karis tries to find out who owned the knitting pattern, and if that person is linked to the murder she witnessed.
As more visions come to her, Karis realises she is also dealing with a mystery from the 1950s. Is this mystery somehow linked to the murder which will occur?
