  12 cold cases. 12 kidnapped women. One diabolical serial killer. In this riveting suspense thriller, a brilliant FBI agent faces a deadly challenge: decipher the mystery before each one is murdered.
  
  In the series, 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 this book, 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 a race against time, and with her sister's life hanging in the balance, Maya 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?
  
  A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the 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.

  'The fourth book in G J Williams's Tudor Rose Murders series is, like its predecessors, a fast-moving and enjoyable mystery' The Sunday Times, May 2026 
  'The Tudor Rose series has already firmly established itself as one of the best historical crime series today, and The Assassin's Mark has set the standard even higher' Chris Lloyd 
  'Another absolute gem of a novel. Williams paints a vivid gripping picture of life – and death – in Tudor times. Don't let anyone prise it from your grasp until it's done' Zoe Sharp 
  'G J Williams brings her fascinating wealth of knowledge about Tudor England to another cracking mystery' Guy Jenkin 
  It is March 1570 and Elizabeth’s court has just crushed the Northern rebellion that sought to throw her from the throne in favour of Mary Queen of Scots. 
  Relief is shattered when a body is found near the palace. The ritualistic killing, a cloven hoof-print, a calling card, and the terrifying message daubed on the wall, point to a long-forgotten pagan deity linked to the Templars. 
  John Dee and Margaretta must navigate a community under threat, a pattern of poisoning, a City in fear of a spectre, and the dark arts of rival queens as they race between England and the courts of France to uncover an assassin known only as Baphomet. 
  'Compelling and meticulously researched, you're drawn into the dark heart of a disturbing crime. The Assassin's Mark is another triumph for G J Williams' Sarah Ward 
  'A masterly and compelling historical mystery and a real page-turner' Mark Ellis 
  'This fast paced and thoughtful adventure already makes me impatient for Williams' next book' Adele Jordan 
  'An engaging and entertaining historical mystery with an imaginative premise' Historical Novel Society

  Description：
  Everyone believes Robin Maddox is fragile — a soft-spoken survivor of a brutal childhood, saved by the powerful man who adores her.
  
  When the girl who once tormented Robin walks free, Robin's fiancé Adrian Kane swears vengeance on her behalf. But vengeance curdles. Adrian's certainty wavers, the bully whispers poison, and soon Robin finds herself the one accused of lying, locked away while her tormentor takes her place.
  
  Adrian thinks he's holding all the power. He has no idea the quiet, trembling woman in his house has been three moves ahead of him from the day they met — and that every tear, every flinch, every plea is a weight on a scale she alone controls.
  
  A glacial, jaw-dropping psychological revenge novel about a woman the world underestimated, and the terrible patience of someone with nothing left to lose.
