  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
   But first, they give me their confessions. 
  My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
  Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
  The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. 
  Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
  Inside this book are 4 confessions that relate to marriage and murder (and how they go hand in hand):THE PREACHER has quite the past.BETH shouldn’t be trusted.WILSON is a farmer with buried secrets.SAM has a thing for soil and gardens. 
  WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?

  A secret buried beneath the chapel. A killer who’s waited decades to strike. 
   
  DCI Brendan Moran shouldn’t be back on duty. The Irish detective is barely holding it together after a crash that nearly killed him—when a body is discovered in the chapel at Charnford Abbey. 
   
  The monks won’t talk. A centuries-old relic has vanished. And when another man turns up dead, it’s clear someone will kill to keep the past hidden. 
   
  But Moran has problems of his own. A new sergeant who might be a spy. A brother spiraling into alcoholism under his roof. Narcoleptic blackouts that could end his career—or his life. And a troubled past that won’t stay buried, forged in the shadows of 1970s Ireland. 
   
  As winter closes in and the abbey’s past comes violently to light, Moran must reckon with the cost of truth—and how much he’s willing to lose to uncover it. 
   
  Because this case might do what the crash couldn’t—finish him.

  Ashes and Evidence .A Fourteen year-old Angela Bello was a bright, spirited girl with dreams of becoming a journalist until her life was cut short in the most horrific way. One summer afternoon, Angela vanished on her way home from school, leaving behind only a torn backpack and unanswered questions. Days later, her lifeless body was discovered in a river on the outskirts of town violated, murdered, and discarded like a secret meant to stay hidden. 
  As the small community reels from the shock, a determined female detective, Ijeoma Okoro, refuses to let Angela become just another cold case. Haunted by her own childhood trauma, Ijeoma pushes through corrupt systems, apathetic officials, and a town that would rather forget than face the ugly truth. Every clue she uncovers points toward a chilling web of power, privilege, and silence. 
   But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the trail becomes. Someone is watching. Someone wants the past buried. As Ijeoma races against time to bring Angela’s killer to justice, she must confront not only a brutal crime but a society that protects predators and punishes victims. 
  Ashes and Evidence is a harrowing yet powerful story of loss, truth, and the fight for justice in a world where too many voices are silenced.
