    The guilt will kill you. Unless your family does first...Evan has spent the last decade trying to forget senior year - the panic when Faith Flynn disappeared, the lies she told the police, the secrets she still plans to take to her grave. After graduation, she couldn't move away fast enough, but divorce has forced her back to her dreary hometown. As if living with her parents at almost thirty isn't punishment enough, she's welcomed home with messages from Faith. Or, at least, someone claiming to be her. Fiona has been receiving similar messages from Faith, her twin, the one everyone believes she murdered in cold blood. And it doesn't feel like a coincidence that this is happening as soon as her ex-best friend Evan has arrived in town. As the ten-year anniversary of Faith's disappearance looms closer, the encounters grow more disturbing. No one is safe from the mysterious person stirring up trouble in their small town, but Evan and Fiona will risk death to expose lies. Or to keep them.

    The propulsive new John Adderley case and follow-up to the award-winning, international bestselling Scandi noir thriller The Bucket List 
     
    Alicia Bjelke has always been “the other sister.” She is the coding genius behind a wildly successful dating app she started with her sister, Stella, but because Alicia’s face is disfigured, she’s created a life in the background while beautiful Stella is  
    the face of the company. When Stella is found dead, Alicia’s life changes utterly as she becomes the focus of the investigation. 
     
    The case is assigned to former FBI agent John Adderley, living in Sweden in witness protection and battling demons from his past life. As John investigates the case, he learns that Alicia and Stella have always had a difficult relationship. The  
    deeper John delves into the sisters’ past, the clearer it becomes that Stella’s murder may be just one piece in the puzzle of a larger crime. As John follows the trail, the old life he thought he left behind in the States begins to catch up with him. 
     
    With a deft mix of masterful suspense and psychological depth, authors Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström deliver a heart-pounding new entry to the John Adderley series. As with The Bucket List, Mohlin & Nyström’s award-winning  
    debut, The Other Sister is an ambitious Scandinavian crime thriller that is compelling, richly textured, and gripping from start to finish.

    When a blood-stained effigy of body parts is found in a central London park, D.I Daniel Graves must set about trying to discover what it could mean and find the person responsible. Symbols at the crime scene suggest the occult. Who would leave a murder victim in such a way, and why? As Graves and partner D.I. Charlie Palmer begin to investigate the ritual and the act of human sacrifice, they enlist the help of Charlotte Gooding, a talented professor specializing in the subject. They hope to narrow down a motive—could the killer believe in the supernatural? Witchcraft, even? Then the next crime scene is found. More blood, more symbols, and out in the open. It seems the killer wants the world to pay attention, but why? How are they choosing their victims? The pressure is on for Graves to put an end to the murders before more remains show up in brutal tableaus. One thing is for sure: this killer is out for blood, and they're not afraid to make it a very public display. There's just one problem. Grave's past still isn't behind him. Someone is eager to make sure he doesn't forget, that he cannot move on, and they're not playing games anymore. There may be an occult killer out there, but now there's another out for blood—Daniel Grave's blood.
