    In Paradise Falls, I'm the law. Since I became the police chief, crime here is about as common as a good hair day in a tornado, and peace between shifters and witches has never been smoother. My familiar, Tizzy the squirrel, keeps me entertained with her acorn-fueled antics, while my bear shifter hubby, Ford, makes me feel like the safest witch on the planet. 
     
     
     
    Like a vegan at a barbecue, trouble rolls into town in the form of a pack of werewolves. These furry interlopers aren't here for the scenic hikes or the artisanal honey—oh no, they want a piece of Paradise Falls, and they're not asking politely. When the Witch-Shifter Coalition votes to boot the wolves, the head howler throws down the gauntlet, declaring the sacred Rite of Arphlitian—a ritual fight to the death as ancient as the town's oldest oak tree. 
     
     
     
    With no choice, the town must choose a champion. And guess who volunteers? As the new mayor, Ford steps up to the challenge. 
     
     
     
    I'm sure someone in town is conspiring with the newcomers to take down the leadership in Paradise Falls. But who? And to what end? 
     
     
     
    Unfortunately, in Paradise Falls, the only thing more magical than the town's charms is this mystery.

Haley and Samantha must work together to unravel secrets that go back to a time that no one wants to remember—when shameful acts were sanctioned and death licked at everyone’s heels.

    It's 1780, days after Benedict Arnold flees to the British when his treasonous plot to surrender the American fort at West Point is discovered and Gideon's Revolution is about to begin. General George Washington orders a secret mission for two Continental Army soldiers to go behind enemy lines, abduct Arnold, and return him to his countrymen to be tried and hanged. 
     
     
     
    Washington selects one of the soldiers, Gideon Wheatley, for the mission because Arnold would trust him. Wheatley fought under Arnold's command at Saratoga and tended to the gravely wounded general for several months at Albany's military hospital. After feigning desertion to the British Army to join Arnold's corps of loyalists, Wheatley and his comrade John Champe seek out Washington's spies in New York and develop a plan to seize the traitor. But when the abduction is foiled, the soldiers are trapped by their own deceit and forced to fight alongside Arnold's raiding army, as if they were traitors themselves. 
     
     
     
    Years after the war, pressed by memories that haunt him and seeking redemption, Wheatley must decide whether he alone can exact revenge on his former friend and commander, a decision that sends him across the Atlantic to London, to find and confront Arnold.

    What can be done to stop madness from sweeping the world when political indecision is the norm? When the nation's leaders lack the backbone to stand up to them, what can stop an enemy that knows no rules? Charity. 
    Charity Styles is a former Olympian and US Army helicopter pilot. Captured and tortured by terrorists in Afghanistan after the opening blows of the War on Terror, she has a score to settle. Now working for the Department of Homeland Security, she is offered the opportunity to make a real difference. 
    Critical memories of her ordeal are buried deep in Charity's subconscious. When the director of Homeland Security's vaunted Caribbean Counterterrorism Command discovers the key to unlocking Charity's past, he unleashes a tempest, the fury of which no enemy can prepare for. 
    Already a martial arts instructor and pilot, Director Stockwell guides her training in marksmanship and spycraft, making Charity the most dangerous asset in America's covert arsenal. Charity then sets her sails, crossing the sea in an antique sloop. A single-minded, all-encompassing determination stays her course...to confront the enemy and play by their rules.

    'Finally a novel I couldn't put down for an entire weekend' - Petra Hammesfahr, German bestselling author
    
    'Anna Jansson is the new literary voice from the Nordic countries' - Berliner Morgenpost
    
    One forgotten grave. Two identical crimes. A killer who was supposed to be dead.
    
    Detective Constable Maria Wern is no stranger to the darkness of the Swedish landscape, but nothing could prepare her for the ritualistic horror found in the local woods. A man hangs from a noose, his body marked by a brutality so precise it feels like a message.
    
    For the police, it's a nightmare. For Maria, it's a ghost.
    
    The scene is a perfect mirror of a cold case that haunted Uppsala nine years ago - a case that was supposed to be closed when the prime suspect perished in a fiery wreck. But as Maria digs into the charred remains of the past, she realizes the fire didn't end the cycle; it only gave the killer a new set of rules.
    
    As the body count rises, Maria's dogged tenacity draws her away from the safety of her precinct and into the path of a mastermind who has been betrayed and degraded to the breaking point. This is no longer just a procedural investigation - it is a descent into a world of insanity where the killer is always one step ahead.
    
    To catch a man who officially doesn't exist, Maria must risk her career and her sanity to understand a motive that is as ancient as it is deadly.
    
    In the tradition of Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole, Anna Jansson's debut introduces Maria Wern - a detective who discovers that the only thing more dangerous than a killer you can see is the one who has already died.
