  A stone by any other name…Can lead to murder.Rosemary Grey, who’s just getting settled into the charming town of Paperwick, Connecticut, is looking forward to the holiday season. She’ll be moving into her snug cottage at Jack and Charlie’s farm—so she’ll have her best friends right next door, and she’s loving her new job as a history professor at Paperwick University, home of the Fighting Trout. The fact that she sees the shy Professor Seth McGuire, from the anthropology department, on campus, might have a little something to do with the smile on her face and the spring in her step.But Rosemary soon discovers that the cozy, tucked-away village, has a longstanding mystery in its midst. Thirty-five years ago, what appeared to be a rune-covered megalithic stone was discovered. There were those who believed the runes scattered across the stone were created by the indigenous peoples who’d inhabited the area—but some believed the runes were Norse in origin, lending credibility to the idea that Vikings had once walked the land.None of the theories about the stone could be proved, however, because it went missing almost as mysteriously as it had appeared. Searches proved fruitless and no one could imagine who could possibly slip away with a two hundred fifty-pound slab of granite. Nevertheless, the legend of Bjørn the Lost Viking was born, along with an annual festival that commemorates the stone, the first snow of the winter, and Norse culture.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text

  Jerry Pardoe and Jamila Patel investigate an eerie string of murders featuring missing feet and disembodied heads in the chilling horror from Graham Masterton. 
   
  A SEVERED HEAD 
   
  After a South London man is shot and killed at home, his wife swears that the offender had no feet. Even stranger, when a teacher is murdered at a local school, her pupils insist they saw disembodied feet dangling from their classroom ceiling. All across the country, victims claim the assailant was missing a body part, while others stumble upon the severed appendages. 
   
  A SUPERNATURAL CASE 
   
  It's clear these murders are neither straightforward nor easily explained, which means there are only two people fit to investigate: DS Jamila Patel and DC Jerry Pardoe, who are used to tracking spirits intent on causing mayhem. 
   
  A BLOODY HISTORY 
   
  And when two children go missing – finding themselves lost in another time period altogether – the investigation will lead to the discovery of a violent entity. One who has been killing for much longer than anyone first realised... And has no plans to stop.

  'A hilarious romp that I just couldn’t put down.' Katy Brent 
  A sharp, funny and deliciously dark thriller that fans of Katy Brent, Bella Mackie or Killing Eve will love. 
  When your boss is at a conference in a city where there's a suspicious death, it's unlucky. 
  If it happens twice, it's odd. 
  But when she's in the same city at the same time as a third unexplained death . . . 
  Could she be a stone-cold killer? 
  Millie's always known her boss Freya is a psycho – the demanding and ever-changing coffee orders, the cryptic instructions, the apparently expected mind reading and don't even start on the insistence that Millie wears heels . . . All. The. Time. 
  But it only extends as far as exacting office standards. Right? 
  As Freya's assistant, Millie has privileged access to her diary and travel history and when a pattern emerges of men (who seem to have no connection to each other) dying in cities where Freya is travelling, Millie is determined to figure out what's going on. 
  After all, a stone-cold killer could be exactly what Millie needs . . .
