    DISCOVERY UPENDS EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT MEMORY AND GENETICS. IT MIGHT COST KEY MURPHY HIS LIFE. 
    Key Murphy is a freak, a prodigy. He has visions so real he’s diagnosed with PTSD. Key learns that his visions might be caused by a mutated gene, which allows him to experience the memories of an ancestor. 
    Key also has a family link to The Book of Kells. Pages from the book were stolen in Ireland in the distant past. Those pages are believed to contain a fundamental secret of Christendom.  
    Padraig Collins is one of the wealthiest men in Europe. He was an undercover operative for the IRA. He amassed a fortune. He wants those pages. His soul depends on them. He will do whatever it takes to possess them. 
    The race is on. 
    "O'Connor takes these familiar Dan Brown-style thriller elements—hidden societies, secret histories, shocking revelations buried in historical events (plus a certain cosmopolitan flavor; the narrative bounces from Philadelphia to Jamaica to Ireland and elsewhere)—and combines them to craft a thriller that will be pleasing to any fan of The DaVinci Code (2003)." - Kirkus Reviews

    When ne'er-do-well Robert Ablett is found dead at his brother's idyllic country house, a crime of passion or an unfortunate accident seem the most obvious explanations. But to dapper would-be sleuth Antony Gillingham, the death – and the baffling disappearance of the man of the house – suggests a far stranger story. Eagerly assisted by his friend Bill Beverley – the Watson to his Holmes – Gillingham sets out to discover the truth.
    
    This was A. A. Milne's first and last – though successful – true venture into crime writing, a genre he declared a passion for. Light-hearted and gently suspenseful, The Red House Mystery is brilliantly crafted to offer the reader pleasure in both following Gillingham's methods and attempting to outwit him.

    They stole his truck. Big mistake. 
     
    CIA black-ops legend Christopher Wren pulls over on a Utah highway after three weeks on the road. An arbitrary decision he's about to regret. 
     
    A biker gang attacks Wren, leaves him for dead and steals his truck. 
     
    Now he's going to get it back. 
     
    From a secret warehouse in the desert. Ringed with fences. Filled with human cages. 
     
    As the body count mounts and a shocking national conspiracy unearths a connection to Wren's dark past, one thing is for certain. 
     
    Justice will be done. 
     
    "This is addictive, intelligent, edge-of-your seat writing. Wren is a hero with complexity as well as toughness; Saint Justice is as urgent and gripping as it gets." - OLIVER HARRIS,  author of the Nick Belsey thrillers.
