The book exemplifies the thrilling, sensationalist fiction that Wallace was known for, reflecting societal tensions and the fascination with crime during his era. Edgar Wallace was a prolific British writer who, in the early 20th century, vastly contributed to the crime and detective genres.

This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.Special Agent Sadie Price, a 29-year-old rising star in the FBI’s BAU unit, stuns her colleagues by requesting reassignment to the FBI’s remote Alaskan field office. Back in her home state, a place she vowed she would never return, Sadie, running from a secret in her recent past and back into her old one, finds herself facing her demons—including her sister’s unsolved murder—while assigned to hunt down a new serial killer.In ONLY MURDER (Book #1), two women are found dead in a remote area of Northern Alaska, near Sadie’s hometown. Floating under the ice, their bodies are preserved much the same way Sadie’s own murdered sister was found—a memory that still plagues her. The case strikes way too close to home, blurring Sadie’s judgment, stirring up memories of her estranged father and murdered sister, memories she’s not ready to grapple with. This part of Alaska—icy, rough, remote, populated by outcasts—proves impenetrable even for a seasoned FBI agent like Sadie. The killer, matching his landscape, is more sinister and smart than anyone Sadie has encountered. Amidst the perplexing clues, Sadie remains sure of only one thing: he will strike again. Against her wishes, Sadie must team up with Sheriff Logan Cooper—single, begrudging, and with a dark past of his own. Together, they must enter the canals of this killer’s twisted mind and seek help from the locals, however hostile, to solve the pattern of these murders before another girl turns up dead. With a major storm coming, can Sadie solve the murders before it’s too late? Or will she end up as the next body floating under the ice?In ONLY RAGE (Book #2), FBI Special Agent Sadie Price has barely recovered from her last case when she is assigned to an urgent, new one: a gruesome discovery has revealed women are turning up dead, their bodies found in the cargo holds of fishing boats, half-eaten by crabs. Sadie, stuck for the winter and here to stay, must form a tenuous alliance with Sheriff Logan Cooper and the local bar owner if she is to penetrate the icy wall of outcast locals. Exploring the harbor and the crusty workers who inhabit it, Sadie needs answers to this seemingly unsolvable string of murders—and to the mysteries of her own past. Suspects abound in the remote and unforgiving landscape. But this is no garden variety killer, and hunting him down may end up a bridge too far even for a brilliant agent like Sadie. In a deadly game of cat and mouse, can Sadie prove herself a match for this killer? Or will he prove to be her undoing?An action-packed page-turner, the SADIE PRICE series is a riveting crime thriller, jammed with suspense, surprises and twists and turns that you won’t see coming. It will have you fall in love with a brilliant and scarred new character, while challenging you, amidst a barren landscape, to solve an impenetrable crime. Book #3-#6 in the series—ONLY HIS, ONLY ONCE, ONLY SPITE, and ONLY MADNESS—are now also available.

    There were a lot of things you could call Stacey Evans. And many of them would be true. And unprintable. But did she deserve to be murdered? 
     
    DI Winter Meadows has no doubt of the answer when he takes on the case. The crime was violent. The victim helpless. But the motives are many, and the only clue is a strange word left on Stacey’s body. 
     
    DI Meadows struggles to pierce the secrecy surrounding the teenager’s busy love life. Was the killer one of her pursuers acting out of jealousy? Maybe someone’s wife seeking revenge? 
     
    But as each suspect is excluded from the enquiry, and other markings turn up, Meadows is convinced that something more sinister is afoot. 
     
    When another body is found, a veil of silence descends like a fog upon Gaer Fawr. What more will it take for the village to give up its secrets?

    Perfect mothers. Perfect daughters. Perfect lies. 
    After her husband’s death, Dahlia Kincaid and her 14-year-old daughter Mia move to the exclusive lakefront community of Blackthorn Shores, Michigan, hoping for a fresh start. 
    It feels like a miracle: lakefront views, immaculate homes, and a coveted spot in the elite circle of neighborhood mothers. Even Mia is welcomed by the popular girls. For the first time, Dahlia dares to believe they’ve finally found belonging. 
    Then after a neighborhood slumber party, one of the girls is found dead. 
    The police suspect murder. The evidence points to Mia. Blood stains her clothes, fresh scratches mark her arms, and her story keeps changing. Every lie Mia tells makes Dahlia wonder what else her daughter is hiding. 
    As rumors swirl and suspicion mounts, the mothers who once embraced Dahlia turn cold and wary, and Mia withdraws, shutting Dahlia out. Desperate to protect her, Dahlia begins her own hunt for the truth, digging into the secrets buried beneath the community’s polished façade. But every answer she uncovers brings her closer to losing both her daughter and the life she’s fought so hard to build. 
    One thing is certain: someone in Blackthorn Shores is a killer. But as Dahlia closes in on the truth, her worst fear isn't that the killer will escape—it's that she already knows who it is. 
    From USA Today bestselling author Kyla Stone comes a propulsive domestic thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena, and Freida McFadden.
