Synopsis

The biggest society wedding of the year is scheduled for Chicago’s prestigious Church of the Good Shepherd. The famous bride is movie star Lisa Julian; the groom, a prominent physician.

The lavish marriage ceremony will be the Reverend’s first formal wedding. But the groom isn’t the first lover in the beautiful Lisa’s colorful life. A whole list of jilted suitors have said yes to the glided wedding invitation’s RSVP... and now someone intends to make sure that ‘Till Death do us part’ comes just after the last whispered ‘I do’...

    The Great War has ended, but for Amy Vanneck, there is no peace. Her fiancé, Edward Haslam, a lieutenant in the 7th Manchesters, is missing, presumed dead. Amy travels to the desolate battlefields of northern France to learn his fate and recover his body. She’s warned that this open-air morgue is no place for a civilian, much less a woman, but she’s willing to brave the barbed wire, the putrid water, and the rat-infested tunnels that dot the landscape. Her search is upended when she discovers the scene of a gruesome mass murder. What does it signify? Soon, she begins to have suspicions that Edward might not be dead. Disquieting and yet compulsively listenable, Two Storm Wood builds to an ending that is both thrilling and emotionally riveting.

    The monster in chains has the key to her past. But the real threat was never locked away at all. 
    Dr. Hanna Nowack is a professional at keeping the world’s most dangerous men safely behind glass. But she’s never met a monster like Richard Hale. 
    A brilliant, charismatic serial killer, Hale shatters Hanna's composure when he requests her by name. Their sessions spiral into a chilling, claustrophobic game of mirrors and manipulation as Hale exposes fragments of Hanna’s past—memories she’s buried and questions she never dared to ask about her husband’s death. 
    Inside the concrete quiet of Great Meadow, Hale offers Hanna pieces of a puzzle she never meant to solve: the secrets her husband never told about his criminal family, and the danger that didn't die with him. Each session tightens the noose—clinical questions turning into confession, fascination into fear. And somewhere in the dark, someone is watching. 
    To uncover the truth, Hanna must decide which monster to face: the one in chains, or the one she invited in. Because the closer she gets to Hale, the more she begins to wonder if the real threat was never locked away at all. 
    Book One in The Lies That Bind Us series. Continue Hanna’s story in Book Two, Beyond the Truth. 
    Note: This novel contains mature themes and psychological intensity consistent with the thriller genre.

    A thrilling new novel in the award-winning Dan Clement series. 
    A violent death by crucifixion near a remote north-west station has Detective Inspector Dan Clement and his Broome police officers disturbed and baffled. Other local incidents - the theft of explosives from a Halls Creek mine site, social justice protests at an abattoir, a break-in at a child-health care clinic - seem mundane by comparison. But as Clement starts to make troubling connections between each crime, he finds himself caught in a terrifying race. In a landmass larger than Western Europe, he must identify and protect an unknown target before it is blown to bits by an invisible enemy.

    But Dark Sky is still in pursuit of her, and this time, after leaving a few dead bodies in their wake, they finally catch up to her. Will Dark Sky finish Porter off for good? Or will they try to bring her in to help her regain her memory, and put her back into the program?

    The Porter Resolution 
    Porter, with the help of some new friends, escapes from the grasp of the police, and immediately seeks to find Evan again. And she won’t stop until she frees him from the clutches of Dark Sky. Before she’s able to do that, and disappear again, she’s going to have to contend with Dark Sky agents, as well as several traps that are set for her to step into. 
    Will Porter be able to rescue Evan before one of those traps ensnares her? And will she ever be able to finally figure out what exactly happened to her? A mysterious key may hold all the answers.
