    Women are being brutally murdered in Boulder, Colorado, their bodies stuffed into the trunks of their cars, and they all have one thing in common: they were meeting someone for a date that they met online. It’s clear a serial killer is at large, and FBI Agent Tara Mills is quickly on the case. But she soon learns that none of the women were meeting the same person, or so it seems, because none of the victims’ dates can be tracked down either. 
     
    As Tara digs deep into the world of online dating, and as more women turn up dead, she soon realizes that the killer’s web is larger than she ever imagined. With the killer always one step ahead, taking on a new identity and leaving no trail, Tara fears she has finally met her match. 
     
    Tara is pushed to her limits. But with the secrets of her past finally resolved, she hopes she can finally lay it to rest and focus wholeheartedly on the case. But when she learns that her biggest nightmare is yet to come, she fears that she has only made things worse for herself, for her fiancé, and for their future. 
     
    Book #5 in the series will be available soon!

When military-trained, Sir Charles reluctantly hires Hettie to solve a blackmail case, it leads to a growing partnership. Their investigation causes a chain reaction that reveals a sinister web surrounding the Welsh town. As they dig deeper, Hettie bites off more than she can chew, and only Gran’s words of wisdom from beyond the grave stop Hettie from becoming a murder victim herself. 
    Set in present-day Wales, UK., free-spirited, PI Hettie Shaw is a feisty, fun, femme fatale, who strides into every situation with head high and a druid insight at full throttle. When troubled Lady Gwen falls to her death from Castle Cliff, everyone thinks she committed suicide. But, when the police accuse her twin brother, Lord Ambrose of murder, he hires Sir Charles and Hettie Shaw to clear his name. As they investigate the twisting trail through the underbelly of Wales, it leads Hettie to insist they exhume the bodies of Lord Ambrose’s parents, which uncovers a terrible family secret. 
    Meanwhile, Charles is battling his own problems with his new fiancé—an out-of-control spendthrift. Finally, the brutal murder of a young girl leads them to a dungeon where both Hettie and Charles race against time to save themselves from falling victim to the deadly killer.

    'The ending of this suspenseful blend of scientific thriller and whodunit packs a real wallop.' - Publishers Weekly
    
    The panic is real. The cure is a lie.
    
    Gotland is known for its picturesque ruins and summer sun, but a shadow has fallen over the island. In this gripping seventh installment of the Maria Wern series, a deadly strain of bird flu turns a children's soccer camp into a high-stakes quarantine zone. As the gates to the mainland slam shut, the inhabitants are trapped in a pressure cooker of primitive fear.
    
    The authorities claim they have the situation under control, but nurse Sandra Hägg knows the truth. While working at an exclusive private clinic, she uncovers a gruesome secret - a discovery that suggests the pandemic isn't the only thing killing people. When Sandra is found dead, her quest for the truth silenced, Detective Inspector Maria Wern is handpicked to navigate a landscape of escalating chaos.
    
    As desperate parents turn to the dark web for elusive medicine and extremist groups hunt for scapegoats among the vulnerable, Maria must track down a mysterious internet predator selling false hope to the dying. But this isn't just a professional assignment. With her own loved ones falling ill and the island's social fabric tearing apart, Maria faces an impossible dilemma: In the race to save the majority, who is being sacrificed in the shadows?
    
    Nominated for the Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year, 'Strange Bird' is a high-octane procedural that explores how thin the line is between civilization and survival. Adapted into a major television event on Sweden's TV4, Anna Jansson's masterpiece uses chillingly accurate expert knowledge to deliver a 'what-if' scenario that hits terrifyingly close to home.
    
    'Jansson is a welcome addition to the Swedish mystery writers now available in English. The author's knowledge of the medical field is evident in her detailed, fast-paced plot and the moral and ethical decisions facing the characters. Recommended for readers of Scandinavian mysteries.' - Library Journal

    Will Lady Caroline add another feather to her detective cap, or will she become buzzard meat? 
    Switzerland, 1925 
    A rare bird is nesting in the lush summer meadows of the Swiss Alps, and the grizzled members of Uncle Albert’s Royal Society for Natural History Appreciation travel en masse to get a closer look. 
    The fact that they will be encamped at an opulent villa, coupled with the promise of a midsummer party, persuades his niece, and unenthusiastic secretary, Lady Caroline, to follow suit. 
    As the champagne flows, and tales of rare birds grow taller, a killer makes a bold move. One of the more risque guests is strangled with her own elaborate dress. When a rakish rogue, a charm-the-birds-out-of-the-trees kind of man, is picked off next, the police speculate that someone is stalking the more exotic specimens of this country house party. 
    Dismissing this bird-brain idea, Lady Caroline suspects instead that a cunning killer is using the party to feather their nest. Ready as ever for a good scavenger hunt, she follows the clues to the bad egg spoiling all the fun. 
    A Body in the Villa is Book 3 of the Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries series. In the glamorous world of 1920s Europe, money and privilege rub shoulders, and greed, envy, and murder are never far behind. Follow Lady Caroline, intelligent and witty, with a fondness for breaking rules, on a fun romp through the golden age of murder mysteries. Each book contains the requisite eccentric characters, fun historical tidbits, and puzzling murders with no gore or gloom.

    Every massive fortune hides an equally massive crime... and someone in London knows exactly what it is. 
    John Minute is a ruthless survivor. An ex-Rhodesian pioneer who built his multi-million-pound empire on a foundation of betrayal, stolen gold claims, and blood, he thought he had outrun his enemies. But as shadowy figures gather around his secluded country estate and a phantom forger drains his bank accounts with chilling precision, Minute realizes his past has finally caught up to him. 
    Caught in the crossfire are his brilliant, inscrutable secretary Jasper Cole, his defiant nephew Frank Merrill, and the beautiful May Nuttall—each harboring dangerous secrets of their own. As a web of deceit stretches from the opulent boardrooms of Piccadilly to the darkest alleys of the East End, the desperate millionaire must turn to the one person who holds the key to his survival: Saul Arthur Mann, an eccentric genius known simply as "The Man Who Knows." 
    Filled with razor-sharp suspense, brilliant deductions, and shocking twists, this gripping classic mystery plunges you into a high-stakes world where blackmail is a booming business and knowledge is the ultimate weapon. Who is the mastermind bleeding John Minute dry? And who will survive when the deadly ledger is finally balanced?
