Dressed in black and dangerous in every way, Fane is a walking temptation. He knows more than he should. Wants more than he admits. The girl Aurora used to be died in that wreck.

Includes the following books: BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1) BLACK AS NIGHT (Quentin Black Mystery #2) Black Christmas (Quentin Black Mystery #2.5) BLACK ON BLACK (Quentin Black Mystery #3) Black Supper (Quentin Black Mystery #3.5) * Description of BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1): “ My name is Black. Quentin Black.” Gifted with an uncanny sense about people, psychologist Miri Fox works as an off and on profiler for the police. So when they think they finally nailed the “Wedding Killer,” she agrees to check him out, using her gift to discover the truth. But the suspect, Quentin Black, isn't anything like Miri expects. He claims to be hunting the killer too, and the longer Miri talks to him, the more determined she becomes to uncover his secrets. When he confronts her about the nature of her peculiar "insight,” Miri gets pulled into Black's bizarre world, and embroiled in a game of cat and mouse with a deadly killer––who might just be Black himself. Worse, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Black, a complication she doesn’t need with a best friend who’s a homicide cop and a boyfriend in intelligence. Can Miriam see a way out or is her future covered in Black? * Description of BLACK AS NIGHT (Quentin Black Mystery #2): “ He will break anything you try to keep pure, brother.” When her now-employer, psychic detective, Quentin Black, calls from a Bangkok jail, asking for her help, forensic psychologist, Miri Fox, is forced to fly across the world to get him. She finds Black working undercover inside a gang of criminals, trying to discover who’s murdering street children and burning their bodies inside Buddhist temples. Black isn’t the only one interested in the crimes, however, and soon his investigations get the attention of a crime syndicate out of Russia that doesn’t appreciate his meddling. When Miri shows up to help, events quickly spiral out of control, and Miri soon finds herself the hunted. * Description of BLACK ON BLACK (Quentin Black Mystery #3): “What kind of confession are you looking for, brother…?” Black disappears, leaving Miri alone in San Francisco mere days after they return from Bangkok. No explanation. Not a word about where he is, what he's doing, what his mysterious new contract entails or even who he's working for. Black will only drop cryptic hints, leaving her breadcrumbs. Miri can feel him, though. More every day. She feels so much through her dreams and into her waking life that her world starts to spin out of control, especially when things between Black and his new employer begin to sour. Black's in danger, although he won't admit that, either. Only Miri can save him. But to help Black, she has to cross lines she swore she'd never cross, exposing herself in a way that will change her life forever.

STOP PRESS! The Stranger Times w ins the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Audio Work! 'Wonderfully dark, extremely funny' proclaimed ADAM KAY, author of the No.1 bestselling This is Going to Hurt 'A filmic romp with great characters, a jet-propelled plot, and a winning premise' said the GUARDIAN JASON MANFORD thinks it's 'Hilarious. You'll never look at Manchester the same way again.' The Chronicles of St Mary's series author JODI TAYLOR declared 'I loved this . . . great premise - great story - great characters . . . hugely enjoyable.' And THE TIMES called it 'ripping entertainment from start to finish.' There are dark forces at work in our world (and in Manchester in particular), so thank God The Stranger Times is on hand to report them . . . A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), it is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor . . . well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own. When tragedy strikes in her first week on the job The Stranger Times is forced to do some serious investigating. What they discover leads to a shocking realisation: some of the stories they'd previously dismissed as nonsense are in fact terrifyingly real. Soon they come face-to-face with darker forces than they could ever have imagined. The Stranger Times is the first novel from C.K. McDonnell, the pen name of Caimh McDonnell. It combines his distinctive dark wit with his love of the weird and wonderful to deliver a joyous celebration of how truth really can be stranger than fiction. Readers love The Stranger Times : ***** 'A delight from start to finish - laugh out loud funny yet with plenty of thrills.' ***** 'Full of wit and humour, and knows how to keep the reader hooked.' ***** 'You'll soon fall in love . . . fans of Pratchett, Gaiman, Aaronovich will be blown away.' The Stranger Times and This Charming Man shortlisted for a 'Dead Good Reader Award' - the 'The New Kid on the Block Award for Best New Series'!
