  Shadow's Mystery

  When the dead can't speak, the shadows whisper their secrets. 
  There’s never a dull moment on Shadow Island, especially for its small but growing sheriff’s department. This time, Sheriff Rebecca West, along with new deputy Viviane Darby, discover a man hanging from the rafters of the caretaker’s shed at Oceanview Cemetery. 
  Does death follow Rebecca? Or does she attract it? 
  The scene suggests suicide—an unlocked padlock, a rope, a toppled bench, and the lifeless body. The plot thickens when they unearth the fact that the man’s high school love and former wife, claimed by cancer, lies buried close by. Surely, the man took his own life. 
  Rebecca’s gut says otherwise. 
  When she investigates the dead cybersecurity expert’s office the next day and interrupts a burglary in progress, things are suddenly not so cut and dried. Now they’re looking for a murderer—one who’s gone to a lot of trouble to cover their tracks and make the victim’s death look like a suicide. 
  And he isn’t finished. 
  A cybersecurity expert could make a lot of enemies. The next "suicide" victim had only one. And Rebecca must find and stop him before he strikes again. 
  From the staggering beginning to the unpredictable conclusion, Shadow’s Darkness—the tenth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is a reminder that sometimes, the answers lie in embracing the shadows, because everyone has a hidden side.

  One of them would kill to be a mother… 
  When someone tries to steal a newborn from Darkford General Hospital, everyone is horrified. Even more so when evidence suggests it was one of the midwives … 
  Katie, Erica and Sue are used to being heroes, not villains, as colleagues on the labour ward, so when one of them is arrested, the others must protect and reassure the pregnant women in their care that the danger has passed. 
  Leila is already anxious. She's always wanted to be a mother – but her partner isn't sure he's ready for fatherhood and she doesn't know if she can have this baby by herself. 
  As Leila's due date approaches, what at first feels like support from her midwives starts to seem more sinister. She's sure someone is following her, watching, waiting. Who can she trust … and is it too late to run? 
  Anna Schofield's The Midwives is a riveting story that delves into the complexities of trust and fear in a medical setting. The narrative skillfully intertwines elements of mystery and domestic life, creating a thrilling reading experience. 
  For fans of Samantha Hayes (The Engagement), S. E. Lynes (The Ex), Sue Watson (His First Wife), K.L. Slater (The Apartment), and Heidi Perks (The Other Guest).

  When the Devil takes the stand, justice must confront Hell itself. 
  In a Chicago courtroom unlike any other, defence attorney Mira Shah faces her most chilling case yet: Marcus Vell, a tech CEO turned murder suspect, claims a demon possessed him during the brutal ritual killing of his lover.

  This isn't just a defence. It's a summoning. And the courtroom is the altar. 
  As demonic forces twist reality and ancient laws awaken, Mira must survive jury selection from the grave, opening statements from the damned, and cross-examinations of the dead because this trial isn't about guilt or innocence anymore. 
  It's about the verdict the Devil has already written. 
  The Devil's Witness Had Blood on the Gavel is a mind-bending supernatural legal thriller that combines courtroom drama with occult horror. If you like The Exorcist and The Devil's Advocate, prepare for a dark descent into possession, judgment, and the laws Hell never forgot.

  When eight immigrants arrived at the Baltimore Federal Courthouse to be sworn in as new citizens they didn’t give a thought to the trial next door of five terrorists charged with blowing up a federal building. Baltimore Sun Reporter Mark Shrader did care about that trial. His wife and unborn child had been killed in that explosion, but in spite of his pleas to cover the case he was instead ordered to write a Sunday-Supplement article on the new citizens. Then the terrorists escaped their guards, invaded the immigrants' courtroom, and took them all hostage. Mark Shrader had prayed that someday he would have the chance for vengeance on his wife’s killers. Now it appeared that his chance might have come. Mark Shrader asked the immigrants to help him fight back against their captors and several of them agreed. As they organized their attack on the killers, hostage Le Thai Mai’s grown son, a rookie Baltimore police officer, embarked on a desperate and unauthorized plan to save his mother’s life. But would he be able to reach her in time?
