Sinossi

Does death imitate art? An actress’s body on an ice rink echoes one of her famous scenes in this “clever, chilling and absolutely addictive” thriller (Noelle Holten, author of Dead Inside). Anna Symons is famous, talented . . . and dead. The actress’s body was found mutilated on an ice rink in Manchester, recreating a scene from a blockbuster film she once starred in. DI Erika Piper, having only recently returned to work after suffering a near-fatal attack, finds she must prove her worth as the hunt for the media-dubbed “Blood Ice Killer” intensifies. But when another body is found and the killer issues a personal threat, Erika must put aside her demons to crack the case or suffer the deadly consequences . . . “A pacy murder mystery, full of deceit, suspicion and revenge, Chris McDonald’s debut is a highly entertaining tale with plenty of shocks along the way.” —T. M. Logan, bestselling author of The Curfew “A superb tale deftly told with a human touch and a real eye for detail.” —Rob Parker, author of Far From the Tree “McDonald creates a strong, rounded lead in DI Erika Piper and I, for one, cannot wait to read the next.” —M. Sean Coleman, author of The Cuckoo Wood

    Micah Hart had learned a few things the first few months of officially dating Damon Romano, a vicious mafioso/ridiculously rich billionaire, infamous throughout New York City for his cut-throat "business" tactics: 
     
     
     
    1. Damon was soft for nothing and no one . . . except Micah (and maybe his sisters). 2. His domineering tendencies definitely extended to the bedroom. 3. Damon didn't trust him—not completely. 
     
     
     
    That last one shouldn't have hurt as much as it did. After all, there were bound to be certain obstacles to overcome in a relationship when one person was a mafia don and the other was a police-detective-turned-PI. 
     
     
     
    Damon keeps Micah far away from anything related to his "work," and Micah allows it . . . at least until a stripper named Ginger waltzes into his struggling detective agency, claiming that her boyfriend—also a stripper—is trying to kill her. Ginger just so happens to work at Lust, the most infamous of a chain of clubs Damon has specifically warned Micah away from. 
     
     
     
    Taking the job would require him to go undercover at Lust, and he should say no. But Damon is out of town for the weekend. What's the worst that could happen?

His marriage has failed, he's about to lose his City job, and he now finds himself excitingly but dangerously out of his depth as an unlikely agent of the British secret intelligence services. His therapist, Dr Nea Solomon, is the only person he can trust.
    Henry's confession of spying on Russians in London doesn't get the reaction he expects. Nea has her own dark secrets to guard and refuses to see her patient again. Now frightened and on his own, a chain of events leads to murder. Having stumbled upon a poison at the heart of the British establishment, Henry fears for his life and decides to lie low at his holiday home in Lisbon. He spends winter in hiding, preparing for the conflict that he knows is looming. A Russian killer catches up with him and a terrifying chase across Europe ensues. He must fade to grey, go off-grid and tramp home to England. Staying just one step ahead, he joins forces with Nea and Felicity Smith, formerly MI6's most senior female officer, previously "buried" by Nea in witness protection in Cornwall. Together, they uncover a plot hatched at Eton College forty years earlier. But who can they trust?

    Nichelle Clarke owes her boss a big headline. She gets her lucky break when a member of a notorious hate group is found dead, his body dumped in the woods. But then a boy from a local LGBTQ support group goes missing, and Nichelle can't turn away from an old friend's plea for help finding him. 
     
     
     
    Police across the state are reluctant to expend dwindling resources on runaways and murdered bigots, leaving Nichelle to take the investigations into her own hands. The number of missing teenagers climbs. Meanwhile, more dead bodies point to a ruthless serial killer with prejudice in his sights. As clues and dead ends pile up in nearly equal numbers, the situation quickly spirals out of Nichelle's control. 
     
     
     
    The killer is a master at covering their tracks, and they won't stop until they've passed deadly judgment on every last bigot in the state. 
     
     
     
    Nichelle will fight her way through communities swallowed by fear to save lives . . . unless she loses her own in the process.
