Sinossi

“I just loved this book. Full of surprises and twists and turns!” —Amazon reviewer, five starsA woman of humble origins fights to overcome every obstacle to pilot a plane in World War I Britain, in a novel by the author of The Fuhrer’s Orphans . . . Being female means that Charlotte Dovedale’s dreams are likely out of reach. Her mother is eager to support Charlotte’s brother in his quest to join the newly formed Royal Flying Corps, but Charlotte is left to channel her energy into the suffragette movement. When she meets upper-class Scott Fanshawe, though, he opens a door for her: teaching her to fly. It soon becomes clear that Charlotte has not only the skill, but the bravery required for aviation. However, when she finally earns her pilot’s license, the Great War breaks out and threatens to keep her grounded. It will take all of Charlotte’s daring and determination to succeed and soar—in a risky adventure that will put her face-to-face with the enemy . . .

    A bundle of books #1 (GIRL ONE: MURDER), #2 (GIRL TWO: TAKEN), and #3 (GIRL THREE: TRAPPED) in Molly Black’s Maya Gray FBI Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.
    
    12 cold cases. 12 kidnapped women. One diabolical serial killer. In this bestselling suspense thriller, a brilliant FBI agent faces a deadly challenge: decipher the mystery before each one is murdered.
    
    FBI Special Agent Maya Gray, 39, has seen it all. She’s one of BAU’s rising stars and the go-to agent for hard-to-crack serial cases. When she receives a handwritten postcard promising to release 12 kidnapped women if she will solve 12 cold cases, she assumes it’s a hoax.
    
    Until the note mentions that, among the captives, is her missing sister.
    
    Maya, shaken, is forced to take it seriously. The cases she’s up against are some of the most difficult the FBI has ever seen. But the terms of his game are simple: If Maya solves a case, he will release one of the girls. 
    
    And if she fails, he will end a life.
    
    In GIRL ONE: MURDER (Book #1), Maya embarks with an urgency unlike any she’s ever felt.  In a race against time, and with her sister’s life hanging in the balance, she must unravel the link between the 12 captives and end the killer’s dark game once and for all. Is this killer toying with her? Does he truly have her sister? Will he ever give her back? Or will Maya end up sucked too deep into this killer’s twisted cat-and-mouse game to notice that she, herself, is the prey?
    
    In GIRL TWO: TAKEN (Book #2), Maya must solve the murder of a female corrections officer. A seemingly black-and-white case, closed years ago, the local police refuse to take it up again. But as Maya delves into the world of prisons, correction officers and ex-cons, she quickly sees there is more there than meets the eye. She, it turns out, was not the only officer murdered. It was a serial. And this killer is more complex—and unpredictable—than anyone can imagine. And if Maya doesn’t solve this case soon, her own sister’s life may be on the line. Meanwhile, the first released “bunny” has given the FBI a promising lead on the killer’s whereabouts—but are they walking into a trap? 
    
    In GIRL THREE: TRAPPED (Book #3), case three has just landed, and the clock is ticking. The suspect, a copycat of the Moonlight Killer, seems to be using sophisticated audio equipment to stay one step ahead of his victims—and Maya herself could be next. Maya, knowing the killer has her sister, has no choice but to accept the case. More determined than ever, she revisits the prison where the last convict hung himself in hopes of uncovering a new lead. But with the murderer able to track her every movement, Maya realizes that she’s the least safe of all. And in the midst of it all, a bunny escapes.
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the MAYA GRAY mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night. It is a perfect addition for fans of Robert Dugoni, Rachel Caine, Melinda Leigh or Mary Burton.
    
    Books #4-#6 in the series—GIRL FOUR: LURED, GIRL FIVE: BOUND, and GIRL SIX: FORSAKEN—are now also available.

    I'm stunned to learn my family's “inheritance” is servitude to an ancient, arrogant vampire. No thanks! Except now my friend might be his next meal, so I cut a deal: I’ll work for him—if he only drains the serial killers we catch. 
    I met my father exactly once—at a café in Transylvania. He went by the name "Renfield," scribbled in strange ledgers and muttered weirdly about “the master.” 
    Years later, I’m summoned to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Supposedly my father has left an inheritance.   
    What could go wrong? 
    Try everything. My “inheritance” turns out to be a new career—or should I say forced servitude: I'm to take over for my father as the next in a long line of servants to an arrogant, centuries-old vampire named Alexandru. 
    Hard pass. 
    Except Alexandru doesn’t take no for an answer. He follows me home to Ohio, where people I love are looking like dinner to him. To save them, I cut a deal: I’ll manage his vampire affairs—if he only feeds on people who deserve it.  
    Serial killers, to be exact. 
    Now my spreadsheets and his hunting skills have one goal: catch murderers before Alexandru loses control. 
    But surviving the killer might be the easy part, because even though Alexandru is a monster who sees humans as livestock, nothing in my life has prepared me for his dark magnetism...

    “Brian Copeland and Topher Davis are back with a vengeance. Shadows of Justice is rich with everything that made Outraged a compelling debut: page-turning action, characters we care about, vivid sense of place, and a mind-bending whodunit—all seasoned with welcome shots of mordant humor.”—New York Times bestselling author JONATHAN KELLERMAN 
      
    When Kristen Promes leaves her family’s annual Fourth of July barbecue in an upscale Bay Area suburb to pick up her daughter’s playmate, she is never seen again. The discovery of her abandoned vehicle along the short route sparks a media frenzy, thrusting the mysterious disappearance of the affluent suburbanite into national headlines. 
      
    San Francisco investigative reporter Topher Davis and his dedicated team dive into the high-profile case. Amidst the relentless coverage, Josephine “Josie” Walker from East Oakland seeks out Topher, revealing that her daughter, Danica, has been missing much longer than Kristen and without any attention from authorities or the media. Desperate for help, Josie pleads with Topher to cover her daughter’s story. 
      
    Enlisting the help of his sister, San Francisco PD Homicide Detective Lynn Sloan, Topher attempts to retrace Danica Walker’s final footsteps. As they unravel the layers of her life, they unearth buried connections between the two cases. Will Topher and Lynn expose the perpetrator before another life is claimed, or are they now mere pawns in a more perilous and deadly game?

    Witches, wereapes, and pregnancy cravings… What could possibly go wrong? 
    Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this whole “married to a wereape” thing, life throws me a curveball in the form of pregnancy. And let me tell you, pregnancy and magic do not mix well. My cravings are bizarre, my magic is on the fritz, and I’m pretty sure I accidentally hexed the toaster. Twice. 
    But as if dealing with unpredictable magic and hormonal mood swings wasn’t enough, ominous threats start showing up, warning me that my baby is in danger. And around here, threats are never just idle words—they’re curses waiting to happen. 
    To make matters worse, Marcus’s past is coming back to haunt us, and our little town of Hollow Cove is getting a bit too crowded with strangers asking too many questions.  
    With danger lurking in every shadow and my powers going haywire, keeping my family safe is getting more complicated by the second. But if anyone thinks they can threaten me and my unborn child, they’ve got another thing coming. 
    I may not have this pregnancy thing figured out, but protecting my family? That’s something I was born to do.
