  She's gone. Vanished from a city so slick it looks like it’s been sprayed with high-gloss paint. But underneath, it's as rotten as a week-old banana in your gym bag. Where silence and deceit are bought and sold like just another commodity. 
  Life as a private investigator was supposed to be easier than being a cop, but for Elias Gentry, it was anything but. Stumbling into forced retirement, a burned-out Gentry reflects on his past, haunted by the memories of a lost cousin, a partner who’s no longer around, and ghosts that whisper about bad decisions, threatening to unravel him. 
  But when he takes on the case of a missing woman, Josie Lemongello, things only get more complicated. 
  As Gentry delves into the investigation, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies surrounding Josie's wealthy boyfriend, Bradford Winston. When he digs deeper, he stumbles into a hornet’s nest of big money, big power and brutal muscle covering up something ugly. And with Josie's emotional struggles adding another layer of complexity, Gentry must confront his own personal demons while trying to solve the puzzle. 
  Set against the backdrop of a bustling city, this novel follows Elias Gentry as he navigates the twists and turns of human relationships. Fans of psychological thrillers and complex characters will be drawn into this story of love, loss, and the search for truth.

  Newly assigned to CID, Detective Constable Elizabeth Burnet needs to prove herself more than most. In an era rife with misogynistic attitudes, some see her as little more than a pretty face hired to make the department more palatable to the public, giving her the nickname 'The Friday Girl'.So when she stumbles across evidence of a nascent serial killer - dubbed "The Werewolf" by the local press - her theories are dismissed as the product of an overactive imagination, and the more she tries to persuade people of the truth, the more she's alienated from her colleagues. But the killer is out there, hunting for their next victim in the Templeton Woods.        The only person who believes Burnet is a recently dismissed detective with his own agenda: exposing corruption within Tayside Police. Working together, they soon realise that some within the police force may have their own reasons for covering up the recent deaths. And as the killer is exposed, Burnet uncovers the mind of a monster pushed to the edge.

  At a private showing in the Louvre, Napoleon Bonaparte's great-great-grand niece Margot Steiner admires the painting of her famous ancestor while wearing a precious Ceylon sapphire necklace commissioned by the emperor himself. After getting caught in a commotion on the crowded staircase, however, Mrs. Steiner discovers that her necklace is gone and the suspicious young woman who started the commotion has melted away into the throng. 
   
   
   
  Rune Sarasin is new to Paris, but not new to stealing priceless jewels. She has spent the last few years plying her trade in the fast-paced city of Bangkok, but after unwittingly stealing from the ruthless smuggler Charles Lemaire, she now must hunt down the gems that he requests until she repays what she owes. But when Lemaire demands that she now steal sapphire earrings to match the necklace, Rune realizes that he will never willingly let her go. 
   
   
   
  Taking down a man with near unlimited resources is not a job for a young woman on her own, who now must hide in the shadows. With the help of an old friend and some new and unlikely alliances, Rune finds herself in a cat and mouse game around all of Europe, from Paris to Mallorca, to Marseille, to Amsterdam, and Berlin. Caught up in the world of smuggling, drug dealing, and shady businessmen, Rune fights to stay one step ahead of both the police and Lemaire.
