Storm's Symbol

Mary Stone, Amy Wilson

This killer is setting the world on fire. One house at a time.
Special Agent Amelia Storm thought she’d seen the darkest corners of humanity after facing a killer who exploited social media to broadcast his twisted “message.” But her latest case in the FBI Violent Crimes Unit plunges her into a new nightmare—one that catapults her from the frying pan into the fire.
Literally.
In the dead of night, an affluent Chicago neighborhood becomes a hellscape as an arsonist claims an entire family, leaving nothing but charred remains and unanswered questions. This is no isolated incident. The fire-starter has struck three times before, turning homes into death traps—all within a year’s time.
Four infernos, fifteen victims, nine dead, and six barely clinging to life. But the most chilling detail? The exits were meticulously sealed, forcing the victims to meet a fiery end or fall to their death. Amelia’s gut tells her this isn’t just the work of an arsonist.
He’s a serial killer. And he uses fire as his weapon.
At each scene, a sinister, occult-like symbol taunts investigators, a twisted signature of a killer who craves recognition. With every new fire, Amelia races to uncover the deadly pattern binding the victims, knowing this monster’s hunger for destruction is growing—and he won’t stop until his dark message is seared into the world.
From the wickedly dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm’s Symbol, book thirteen of the Amelia Storm FBI Series. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And sometimes, the twisted mind of a killer.

Murder on the Menu

Alex Coombs

Chef Charlie Hunter's arrival in the beautiful Chilterns is the fulfillment of a long-held dream: to open her own restaurant in an idyllic countryside location. The Old Forge sits on the village green (complete with duck pond and flint-faced houses) and seems just the place for the high-quality cooking she wants to be known for. 
 
 
 
But instead of rural peace and a chance to lick her wounds, Charlie finds something ugly stirring under the chocolate box perfection. When a prominent local builder is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Charlie the outsider becomes a suspect. And the only way to clear her name seems to be to find out who the real killer is. 
 
 
 
Luckily she has allies: her student waitress, a kitchen porter making up in muscles what he lacks in brain and a briskly efficient clairvoyant. Using all the craft Charlie's learned in kitchens—discipline, timing, preparation, and grim determination—she will be as relentless in her quest to bring a murderer to justice as she is in creating the perfect meal.

1894, Boston. Penniless Boston heiress and accomplished modern woman Marigold Manners has put her past to good use, selling the story of the Great Misery Island Murders to earn enough money to resume the life she was always meant to have and return to her studies at Wellesley College.

Marigold must use every ounce of her logic and enlist her eccentric, colorful cast of fellow students and found-family to identify the girl and find the murderer—before they kill again.
