    If you could go back in time and clear your family’s name, would you? 
    Dr. Cate Kensie, now known as Lady Catherine Kensie, the mistress of Dunhaven Castle, still can’t believe her life. Somehow, moved to Scottland, inherited a castle that’s more than meets the eye, and is the proud--and sometimes reluctant-- owner of an amazing family heirloom. But there’s a secret Cate must protect about her new life, a secret that no one but Jack Reid, the estate manager, knows of. 
    As Cate learns more about her new home, she discovers that in 1856 there was a murder at Dunhaven and non-other than her own ancestor, Randolph MacKenzie, was accused and convicted of the crime. However, the more she learns about the murder at Dunhaven, the more confusing things become. All of the evidence is there, but the answers still don’t add up. 
    Will Cate have the courage to dive into a centuries-old murder to clear her family’s name? Or will she find out the hard way that sometimes it’s best to leave the past in the past where it can’t hurt you? 
    Find out in the nail-biting second installment of the Cate Kensie Mysteries series, Murder at Dunhaven Castle!

    AVAILABLE NOW: the 25th Ben Hope thriller, from the Number One bestseller. 
    Some legends lie buried for a reason… 
    To fight extraordinary odds, you need an extraordinary man. 
    Under the fierce heat of the Australian outback, the laws of nature serve a rough justice. When a man vanishes deep in the Northern Territory, local police write it off. But his family suspect otherwise – and when the call for help goes out, Ben Hope and Jeff Decker are there to hear it. 
    Ben’s instincts, honed by years of Special Forces missions, soon see the story told by a trail of bullet casings, rumours of a missing map and a lethal cocktail of greed, power and money. 
    This savagely beautiful land holds a secret it won’t give up easily – and for Ben, discovering the truth will mean not only going up against a small army of hired guns and their twisted paymaster, but also surviving a place where the wilderness is as powerful as the weapons his enemies have trained on him. 
    The Silver Serpent by Scott Mariani is a Sunday Times bestseller that combines mystery, suspense, and adventure in a thrilling narrative. This military fiction is filled with private espionage and action, making it a top choice for readers. 
    For fans of Andy Mcdermott (The Knights of Atlantis), Don Bentley (Capture or Kill), Mark Greaney (The Gray Man), Stephen Leather (Clean Kill), and David Baldacci (Strangers in Time).
