    Moving home after a recent job loss was supposed to reassure Camden Bristow and give her time to decide what to do next. But when she arrives in Etherton, Ohio, she discovers that her grandmother, who she hasn't talked to in years, has passed away and “home” is an empty mansion, 150 years old—not exactly the comfort Camden was looking for. What happened to the house she played in as a child, the bedtime stories that told of secret passageways and runaway slaves, and all those family memories? When antiques start disappearing and footsteps are heard, some of those memories start to creep back, and Camden wonders if her grandmother’s bedtime stories might actually be true. What really happened here? How was her grandmother involved? Who still has access to the house? And for what purpose? As she works to uncover the past and present mysteries harbored in her home, Camden also uncovers secrets about her family that could change the town—and her life—forever.

    Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it’s certainly not short on murders . . . Norman is a bit old-fashioned, but he’s also willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits. 
     
    On a freezing November morning a man jogs down to the shore at a small Welsh beach. He strips off all his clothes and strides out into the icy water. 
     
    No one knows who he is. But locals say only a fool — or someone with a death wish — would go into the sea at this time of year. 
     
    With no body, Detective Norman’s young team are baffled. Who was this man? And why would he go into the water that day? 
     
    Then builders in town make a gruesome discovery. A skull is found in a shallow grave. 
     
    Llangwelli Police now have two unsolved deaths on their hands. And things only get stranger when it seems the two are connected . . . 
     
    It’s going to take all Detective Norman’s experience to whip his band of misfits into shape to crack the case. 
     
    This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.
