  An eighty-year-old man is found murdered in his home. His age and standing in the community makes finding his killer difficult – why would anyone harm an elderly man? What threat could he possibly be to anyone? 
   
  With no apparent motive, DS George Cross canvases the community for potential suspects but the man was known as generous, charitable, community-minded. Each interview about who the man is muddies the picture further. So Cross decides to look for who he was – revealing a past that is far less honourable than his present . . . 
   
  Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, The Teacher is part of the DS George Cross thriller series, which can be listened to in any order. 
  'I am insanely in love with George Cross, a perfect detective for our time and for all time.' STEPHEN FRY

  Newly assigned to CID, Detective Constable Elizabeth Burnet needs to prove herself more than most. In an era rife with misogynistic attitudes, some see her as little more than a pretty face hired to make the department more palatable to the public, giving her the nickname 'The Friday Girl'.So when she stumbles across evidence of a nascent serial killer - dubbed "The Werewolf" by the local press - her theories are dismissed as the product of an overactive imagination, and the more she tries to persuade people of the truth, the more she's alienated from her colleagues. But the killer is out there, hunting for their next victim in the Templeton Woods.        The only person who believes Burnet is a recently dismissed detective with his own agenda: exposing corruption within Tayside Police. Working together, they soon realise that some within the police force may have their own reasons for covering up the recent deaths. And as the killer is exposed, Burnet uncovers the mind of a monster pushed to the edge.

  Maybe this is a ghost story . . . 
   
   
   
  Andrew Larimer has left his past behind. Rising up the ranks in a New York law firm, and with a heavily pregnant wife, he is settling into a new life far from Kingsport, the town in which he grew up. But when he receives a late-night phone call from an old friend, he has no choice but to return home. 
   
   
   
  Coming home means returning to his late father's house, which has seen better days. It means lying to his wife. But it also means reuniting with his friends: Eric, now the town's sheriff; Dale, a real-estate mogul living in the shadow of a failed career; his childhood sweetheart Tig who never could escape town; and poor Meach, whose ravings about a curse upon the group have driven him to drugs and alcohol. 
   
   
   
  Together, the five friends will have to confront the memories—and the horror—of a night, years ago, that changed everything for them. 
   
   
   
  Because Andrew and his friends have a secret. A thing they have kept to themselves for twenty years. Something no one else should know. But the past is not dead, and Kingsport is a town with secrets of its own. 
   
   
   
  One dark secret . . . 
   
   
   
  One small-town horror . . .

  Witches, wereapes, and pregnancy cravings… What could possibly go wrong? 
  Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this whole “married to a wereape” thing, life throws me a curveball in the form of pregnancy. And let me tell you, pregnancy and magic do not mix well. My cravings are bizarre, my magic is on the fritz, and I’m pretty sure I accidentally hexed the toaster. Twice. 
  But as if dealing with unpredictable magic and hormonal mood swings wasn’t enough, ominous threats start showing up, warning me that my baby is in danger. And around here, threats are never just idle words—they’re curses waiting to happen. 
  To make matters worse, Marcus’s past is coming back to haunt us, and our little town of Hollow Cove is getting a bit too crowded with strangers asking too many questions.  
  With danger lurking in every shadow and my powers going haywire, keeping my family safe is getting more complicated by the second. But if anyone thinks they can threaten me and my unborn child, they’ve got another thing coming. 
  I may not have this pregnancy thing figured out, but protecting my family? That’s something I was born to do.
