Synopsis

Welcome to Crescent Hills, where beauty only runs so deep. Scandal lurks below the surface behind the McMansions, designer clothes, and fancy cars. When the town is shaken by the disappearance of journalist Ivy Fields, whispers of betrayal and intrigue begin to unravel the threads binding its elite residents.
 
Audrey, haunted by her own past, is determined to unveil the truth behind Ivy's disappearance, hoping to find closure she never received. Amidst this, Marcia grapples with the confines of her seemingly perfect marriage, leading her down a dangerous path. At the same time, a young Ben navigates the complexities of love, friendship, and societal expectations. Meanwhile, Cassandra's life gets disrupted by a ghost from her past.
 
As Crescent Hills residents confront their own dilemmas, the shadow of Ivy's disappearance looms large. For behind every beautiful façade, there are secrets yearning to be exposed, and as they say, the past always finds a way to catch up.

    From REMINGTON KANE, the author of the REVENGE Series and the TANNER Series 
    ALIBI: MURDER - A thrilling murder mystery with deadly twists, romance, and a shocking finale 
    A man accused of murder has the perfect alibi—he was killing someone else. 
    John Beckett stands accused of the brutal murder of his wife, but he knows the truth: he is innocent. However, his alibi only makes things worse—he was committing premeditated murder at the time of his wife’s death. 
    As the evidence stacks against him and the investigation, led by a driven female detective, grows more intense, Beckett must face the horrifying reality that someone has framed him for his wife’s murder. 
    Was it the police chief, a jilted lover seeking revenge on Laura for leaving him to be with Beckett? Or perhaps the town’s notorious peeping tom, whose twisted desires may have turned violent? Beckett’s own brother-in-law, an alcoholic with a history of violence, could also be a suspect.  
    As Beckett fights to clear his name and stay out of prison, he finds himself drawn to his beautiful defense attorney. But as their attraction grows stronger, so does the danger surrounding them. Will they discover the true killer before it’s too late? Or will Beckett be sentenced to a life behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit? 
    With each passing day, Beckett’s fate hangs in the balance as he desperately tries to unravel the web of lies and deceit surrounding his wife’s death. The tension builds as secrets are uncovered and dark motives are revealed, leading to a shocking climax both inside and outside of the courtroom, which will leave readers on the edge of their seats. 
    Can Beckett find justice and clear his name, or will he become another casualty in a deadly game of betrayal and revenge?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    This is the second book by Brian Phillipson. The first, Thor's Hammer, introduced the two main characters of Eric Swanson and Gerry Denton. The second book, Pharaoh's Treasure, again sees the two battling the bad guys this time by accident rather than design. Pharaoh's Treasure is a stand alone book that, although a sequel, is not a direct follow on from the first.

    1284 Wales. As a widowed lady-in-waiting to Queen Eleanor of England, Catrin never expected to return to Wales again. She was definitely unprepared to be confronted with murder when she got there-or to find herself face-to-face with Rhys, the childhood friend she lost twenty years before. Rhys had never intended to return home either, but a lifetime of war has deposited him right back where he started-impoverished and owing service to Catrin's older brother. 
    With Wales fallen irrevocably to England and not knowing whom else they can trust, Catrin and Rhys join forces against the treachery and intrigue rife within the royal court in this three book boxed set: Crouchback, Chevalier, Paladin. 
    Series so far: Crouchback, Chevalier, Paladin, Herald
