    This recording has been digitally produced by Blake Pierce, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. When victims appear with a rare moth left at each crime scene, it’s up to expert FBI forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red to decode the insect-infused enigma. With time ticking, can she crack the case before the killer strikes again?
    
    “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
    —Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    LET HER VANISH is book #12 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
    
    Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
    
    Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
    
    With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
    
    But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Fans of Rachel Caine, Teresa Driscoll and Robert Dugoni are sure to fall in love.
    
    Future books in the series will soon be available!

    In a world where shadows loom larger than life, Slim Callaghan, private detective, finds himself ensnared in a web more tangled than any he's encountered before. "They Never Say When" thrusts Callaghan into the murky depths of deception and greed, courtesy of a client whose allure is as dangerous as the secret she harbours. 
    When Mrs. Paula Denys walks into his office, her request is anything but ordinary: she's paid a man to steal the priceless Denys Coronet from her own husband's safe, but the deal has soured into blackmail. Callaghan, with his unshakable resolve, takes on the case, stepping into a quagmire of treachery that tests even his seasoned instincts. 
    As Callaghan unravels the twisted skein, securing the coronet for his client, he's blindsided by the realisation that Mrs. Denys's intentions might be far from innocent. Suddenly, the hunter becomes the hunted in a game of cat and mouse that could cost Callaghan more than he's willing to pay. 
    Determined to uncover the truth, Callaghan plunges deeper, but in the shadows of a case that's dubious even by his standards, one question looms: will his insatiable curiosity be his downfall? 
    Set against the backdrop of 1944, They Never Say When is a classic tale of intrigue and suspense that harks back to the golden age of detective fiction. With every turn of the page, Slim Callaghan reminds us that in the gritty underbelly of crime and betrayal, they never say when the game is up.

    When the death of Isaiah “Zay” Turner awakens controversy in the Midwest, Jennifer Davis and Attorney Marcus Brown band together to bring the Turner family their deserved justice. They work closely as a team to conquer allyship, defeat agenda-setting narratives, and decriminalize Isaiah’s name--alongside his mother, uncle and girlfriend, Tiara. 
    With the trial of Isaiah’s killer, Robert McCarthy, coming up soon, conservative supporters protest his freedom, while provoking violence against the Black Lives Matter Movement. And when a key witness goes missing, Jennifer, Marcus, and the team, lack supporting evidence that could help put him behind bars. In attempt to locate the witness, they come across Zay’s old friend, Tyler Young, who gives them information that could potentially incriminate some really crooked people – including McCarthy and a secret criminal organization. 
    The team unite with Tyler to figure out what really happened leading up to the “Fourth of July” shooting (that costed Isaiah his life). But when they’re all exposed to the bigger picture, the truth is much more disturbing than they imagine. 
    Then again, the truth is never easy to hear…is it?
