Sinopse

Albintimilium, a Roman city in Cisalpine Gaul, in the year 264 AD. 


The lifeless body of a prostitute is found tied to a pole on the beach. The milites immediately sense they are dealing with a ruthless killer. The murders have just begun. 


Milites Marco Decimo Apronio is young, determined, and more intelligent than the older colleagues he works with in the local Urbaniciani barracks. He is called upon to solve the case; his colleagues need a young and brilliant mind that has already helped them in the past solve difficult cases. However, this time, the mystery seems impossible even for Apronio: no one has ever seen anything like it before. With the support of the Pretorians, the manhunt begins. 


Marco Decimo, shaken by a dark past and failed relationships, must confront his own anxieties as the search for the murderer plunges him into the darkest corners of consciousness. He delves into the mind of the killer, trying to understand the twisted actions, but discovers evil and hopes not to get entangled in it as everything seems to collapse around him. 


With the discovery of more murdered women, a race against time begins. The only solution is to uncover the murderer before he kills again.

This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.FBI Special Agent Carly See, a star in the elite BAU unit, hides a terrible secret: she can speak with the dead. The murder of her sister, still unsolved, plunged her life into grief and awakened a new power within her. Sometimes messages come from direct contact, other times in dreams. All of it feels like a curse—until Carly realizes she can harness her new skills to solve cases. But her abilities are unreliable, and Carly must use her brilliant mind to complete the puzzle—all while struggling to keep her secret from her colleagues.In NO WAY OUT (Book #1), when victims turn up with Shakespearean sonnets left on their bodies, the handiwork of a diabolical serial killer, FBI Special Agent (and psychic medium) Carly See is called in. Can she use her intuition to supplement her brilliant investigative skills and save the next victim before it’s too late? As Carly races to decode the conflicting messages she receives from the other side, she wonders: Why these poems? Why these victims? What connects them? What is the killer’s secret message? And who will he strike next? In a twisted game of cat and mouse, this killer seems to know way too much about Carly. Is he toying with her? Or is Carly herself the prey?In NO WAY BACK (Book #2), women are disappearing on their walk home at night, their bodies are turning up the next day staged as famous sculptures.

With her vision leading Carly to dark and irrational places, she finds herself in a cat and mouse game with a diabolical killer—who always seems to be one step ahead of her. Why is he staging these bodies? What is he trying to create?In NO WAY HOME (Book #3), in a macabre and bizarre pattern, women grieving for their loved ones are turning up murdered themselves, targeted by a serial killer. FBI Special Agent Carly See will have to descend into a world of death to enter the killer’s mind—and save the next victim before it’s too late. This killer, though, is always one step ahead, and Carly herself, leading the investigation, may not be as safe as she seems. It will be a race to figure out what these victims have in common—and who is next on the killer’s list. But will Carly’s vision lead her astray?A page-turning thriller packed with twists and turns, secrets, and harrowing surprises you won’t see coming, the CARLY SEE series is a mystery series that will endear you to a unique new character and having you turning pages, bleary-eyed, late into the night.Books #4-#6—NO WAY LEFT, NO WAY UP, and NO WAY TO DIE—are also available now.

    A bundle of books #2 (THE KILLING TIDE) and #3 (THE KILLING HOUR) in Kate Bold’s Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books two and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameIn THE KILLING TIDE (Book #2), with Alexa’s last case a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Two federal judges are murdered, and startling evidence points to the work of a serial killer with a vendetta. But the judges have tried and convicted hundreds of people over their long careers, and with the suspect list a mile long, Alexa is in the race of her life to find the killer before he kills another judge on his list. And when the next victim offers a shocking twist, it throws everything Alexa thought she knew into doubt. Is this truly a vendetta? Or is this killer far more diabolical than he seems?In THE KILLING HOUR (Book #3), an infamous killer dramatically escapes death row, and Alexa’s joint task force is immediately put on the case. A high profile case with national media attention, Alexa isn’t the only one who’s called in—and between the clashes of ego with other state and federal powers, she knows the killer is only getting further away. What appears to be a straightforward manhunt, though, quickly evolves into something more complex, as more bodies turn up dead, and as the killer inexplicably eludes everyone. And when a shocking twist occurs that Alexa never saw coming, she realizes this case is far more complex—and disturbing—than she could have ever imagined. With the killer outsmarting everyone, Alexa is the only one with a mind brilliant enough to stop him, the only one standing between him and his next kill. But, weighed down by the pressure of her own traumatic past, can Alexa hold it together long enough to enter the darkest canals of his mind—and come out whole?A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE 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.Books #4-#6 in the series—THE KILLING POINT, THE KILLING FOG, and THE KILLING PLACE—are also available.“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting. Plenty of dialogue, you absolutely love the characters, and you were rooting for the good guy throughout the whole story… I look forward to reading the next in the series.”—Reader review for The Killing Game“Kate did an amazing job on this book and I was hooked from the first chapter!”—Reader review for The Killing Game“I really enjoyed this book.

    "Silver Blaze", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "Silver Blaze" 13th in a list of his 19 favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
    Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. Watson travel by train to Dartmoor to investigate a crime of disappearance of the great race horse Silver Blaze and the murder of the horse's trainer, John Straker. Holmes and Watson arrive at King's Pyland, from which Silver Blaze is missing. Fitzroy Simpson has come to Dartmoor (and specifically to King's Pyland) to gather information relating to his professional activities, and has become a suspect in the murder. However, to Holmes, from the outset, there seem to be a number of facts that do not fit the inspector's case against Simpson, damning as it looks. It seems odd, for instance, that he would lead the horse out on to the moor simply to injure or kill him. That could be done right in his stall. He could not have stolen the animal. What good would such a famous thoroughbred be to him? Why has an exhaustive search of the neighbourhood not turned up Silver Blaze? What has Simpson done with him?
