    When Frederick Kastener’s daughter’s car careens in front of a semi-truck, everyone assumes that it is just another case of careless driving. Outraged by the lack of investigation, the wealthy Kastener throws his weight around to get the police to take a second look. He further doubles down by questioning the writing acumen of investigative journalist Cari Turnlyle and demands she print a retraction of the accidental death article. When Cari discovers an eye-witness account of the accident that contradicts her initial assumptions, she vows to uncover what really happened. Things continue to not add up as another man in the community dies under somewhat suspicious circumstances. Cari becomes convinced that the deaths are related, but can she find the link that holds it all together?

    Ally, an aspiring actress, is about to give up on getting her big break. But then, after another disappointing audition, a charismatic scene partner says he has a fun gig for her. Soon, Ally is making easy money working for a guerrilla-marketing outfit called The Set Up. Now she’s getting lots of practice pretending to be someone she’s not—but each job seems more suspicious than the last. 
      
    Marshall is a washed-up journalist, teaching a summer class at the university and struggling to keep his students (and himself) focused on his planned lessons. Someone has been leaving copies of his old articles on his lectern every morning, forcing him to revisit the story of a decades-old tragedy and mistakes he’s made … both personal and professional. 
      
    Web, a quirky loner, has always been ready to pick up and go at a moment’s notice. In fact, he’s very good at not being noticed, at least not unless he wants to be. That’s been helpful in his years working for The Set Up, but the new hire’s questions are starting to make Web feel less confident about his work as a con man. 
      
    What is The Set Up, and who’s playing whom? The search for answers leads Ally, Web, and Marshall from the glitz of the Strip to the grit of Sin City’s strip-mall suburbs, and from an abandoned Unification compound to a deadly bar mitzvah. As their paths converge, this unlikely trio uncover the shadowy power dynamics and shifting personalities that shape a city.

    "I can honestly say that this is the best crime thriller I have ever read..." TN Traynor – Author
    
    A chance discovery of something unimaginable will steer Detective Patrick Gutteridge's life down a path littered with memories of his past, memories he's spent a decade trying to forget.
    
    For two years, Gloucester's provincial streets have glowed to the media interest gifted by the works of an anonymous graffiti artist ― Tick-Tock. But the art is changing, distorting, each piece becoming more perverse and contentious than the last. Only DI Gutteridge sees a pattern forming which points to something far more sinister looming on the horizon. Can he decipher it in time to prevent the impending storm, or will the city be forced to wear the infamy of a series of events so shocking, it threatens to stain its streets forever.
    
    Who is the artist turned killer? What malevolent force drives them? And who can decode their warping message in time to stop the bloodshed? Only time will tell, but time is fast running out!

The mystery deepens further when the mayor’s body is stolen the night before his funeral. Who would do such a thing? And why? Liz is determined to get to the bottom of it all, with help from her motley collection of friends and Nelson the bull terrier—the ugliest (and bravest!) dog in Yorkshire.

    The new tourist season is about to start. The witches, carnies, fortune tellers, and other lovable outcasts of Whispering Pines are abuzz with excitement. Sheriff Jayne O’Shea, however, is nervous. After their tragic last season, the lakeside hamlet became known as the Murder Capital of Wisconsin, and she would love to redeem their reputation. 
    Everyone has assured her they’re ready and that it’s going to be a great opening weekend, but Jayne can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. Then, just as waves of happy tourists start to arrive, villagers go missing one by one. 
    This is the showdown Jayne has been preparing for. She knows who’s responsible, but before catching the kidnapper, she first needs to save the victims. That means releasing control and letting others step up because this time she’s too close. Failure could mean the end for those she loves most.
