Synopsis

A ransom demand leads to secrets revealed, in this twisting crime suspense from the author of The Victim. Eleven-year-old Danny Stone is snatched on his way home from school, bundled into the back of a van, and driven to a remote, deserted farmhouse. Danny’s parents, Martha and Richard, are frantic when their only child goes missing and call the police. Their home in Bristol is searched, and their lives and Richard’s career as a solicitor come under scrutiny. Finally, a ransom demand arrives. Martha wants to pay, but Richard procrastinates. When he leaves the house, Martha searches through his papers. It’s clear her husband has been keeping something from her. But as she tries to untangle his lies, while the police continue their search, Richard risks a dangerous negotiation on his own. And the question remains—how long can Danny survive?

    🐝 When the body of a prominent land developer is found in the apiary of Hazel's Homestead Honey, beekeeper Hazel Bloom finds herself in a sticky situation. The victim, who was trying to buy up local farms for a controversial resort, died from a suspiciously precise allergic reaction—not from bee stings, but from a peanut-laced honey sample meant for Hazel. With the police buzzing around her farm and her business on the verge of collapse, Hazel must use her knowledge of local botany and human nature to find the real killer. With help from her loyal border collie, Clover, and an unexpected alliance with a retired forensic botanist, Hazel uncovers a hive of secrets among her fellow farmers and townspeople. From contaminated crops and sabotaged hives to long-buried family feuds, the truth is as complex as her bees' honeycomb. Can Hazel solve the case before the killer delivers another fatal sting?

The wage is extremely high, £120, and she decides to accept the job, though Holmes tells her to contact him if she needs to. After a number of strange occurrences, including the discovery of a sealed-off wing of the house, she does so. Holmes discovers that someone had been kept prisoner in the wing, but when Holmes, Watson and Hunter enter, it is empty. They are accused of freeing the prisoner, who was the daughter of Hunter's employer, who sets his dog on them, though it attacks him instead.

    In this sequel to The Pangaea Solution, David Blum once again battles the shadowy Global Futures Alliance and their plans for reshaping humanity. Partnering with fellow agent Tina Santini, the pair uncovers a diabolical new plot to integrate artificial intelligence with “The Sugar Cube,” a massive optical computer configured to experience artificial emotion. The GFA’s goal? Dissect the internal language of the brain and synthesize sounds that can drive people to extreme emotional states. As a colonel at the U.S. Army War College warns them, combining such signals with targeted social media could prove more profound to the future of global warfare than even nuclear weapons. 
    From London, Northern Virginia and Maryland, to Cuba and Honduras, the team pursues the scientists and operatives hell-bent on launching and winning the next world war. As the final seconds tick down, Blum must pit his mental strength against that of the Cube itself, knowing he might die in the process.
