Sinopsis

The world just keeps getting tougher and more complicated. America teeters on the edge of bankruptcy because of crushing foreign debt and an apparent savior, The Talos Corporation, delivers training for soldiers and security forces around the world, logistical support and badly-needed troops economically, but with a hidden cost that’s both sinister and disturbing.The three rookie FBI agents who survived the challenges portrayed in Quantico, have gone their separate ways but seem fated to be drawn back together in an alliance against a surprising challenge for which no one seems prepared. Rebecca Rose is brought back from an extended sabbatical when the President is shot and her second-in-command is implicated in an horrific crime—and all the threads point deeper into Talos’s secretive activities. Fouad Al-Husam, working undercover inside Talos, has uncovered and been forced to hide vital information of a takeover plot that threatens America’s independence.Nathan Trace, victim of a violent incident in the Middle East, struggles with post-traumatic stress and seems to be recovering through participation in a treatment program, code-named Mariposa, which has unexpected side-effects that turn patients into brilliant, detached and sociopathic individuals—very smart and extremely deadly.Only a desperate combination of misfits and survivors can combat an apparently inevitable collapse of American organization that will lead to the fall of democracy.

    Then a detective from Essex County Police arrives in Craynebrook, demanding help to track down a child abductor who has been plaguing his Force for years. 
    But Matthew’s in no mood to cooperate with an arrogant, ambitious outsider. And when the Essex detective begins interfering in Matthew’s investigation, a clash becomes inevitable.

    Some Cases Are Personal. This One’s Deadly. 
    Eight years ago, Luther McNeer was convicted of his wife’s brutal murder. The evidence was damning: his clothes were soaked in her blood, no signs of forced entry, and a sketchy alibi about sleeping through the entire ordeal. But his brother Vinny has never stopped believing in Luther’s innocence. 
    Private investigators Mallory Carver and Tucker Randall have perfected their professional partnership, though neither will admit that their crackling chemistry extends far beyond case files and stake-outs. That is until they discover a string of similar murders spanning multiple jurisdictions—all but two of them after Luther’s incarceration. As they dig deeper, a disturbing pattern emerges: women reporting they’re being stalked. Police dismissing their fears, and bodies turning up weeks later. 
    The stakes escalate when Holly Wilson’s murder brings the FBI into the mix, forcing Tucker to reunite with his former partner David Lewis—a collaboration that threatens to unearth buried tensions. But when another woman, Jessie Mills, comes forward with a terrifying tale of being stalked, the investigators realize they’re in a race against time to prevent history from repeating itself. 
    Happily Never After is an enthralling thriller that weaves together a complex cold case, the devastating ripple effects of wrongful convictions, and the unexpected way a relationship can bloom in the darkest of circumstances.

    Dean's got a bit of a problem. 
    Just three days into his stint minding the family shop and already there's a jagged hole in the wall where the new smart-drugs vending machine used to be, courtesy of the local psychopathic heavy. But as the clock ticks down on his father's return, hope appears in the guise of an enigmatic beauty, a girl stepped straight out of Dean's dreams, proposing a wild and improbable plan that could just change all their lives – maybe even for the better. 
    Pale Kings is a sharp-witted and comical journey into the crazy world of contemporary fine art, the illicit potential of virtual reality gaming, and the neurotic susceptibilities of robotic guard dogs. 
    This novella is a prequel to MUNKi, the first of the Merrywhile books. Set in the near-future, this is an ongoing series of sci-fi stories – novellas, short stories and full length novels – with a loose chronology, but which can be read in any order. They involve various characters and their dealings with Merrywhile Industries, a giant tech company with ambitions to take humanity to the next level – whether it wants to go there or not.
