Taylor is ready for a fresh start. But when a tarot reader on the boardwalk offers an uncannily specific prediction about her next case, Taylor, ready to brush it off, is haunted by it—and can’t help noticing that it was accurate.

In DON’T RUN (Book #3), a new serial killer haunts the city, leaving his victims’ bodies with an eerie signature: a single orchid. Brilliant FBI Special Agent and BAU specialist Taylor Sage, battling her own demons, tries to ignore the tarot reader’s riddles. But when she has no choice but to explore them, she may just wish she hadn’t. With the FBI, police and local horticulturalists stumped, it’s up to Taylor to connect the dots. But as Taylor’s marriage crumbles around her and she struggles to connect with her new partner, she’s under more pressure than ever to find this killer—before he finds her first. Could the tarot reader’s clue provide a spark of inspiration? Or will this case be Taylor’s last?

In DON’T FLINCH (Book #4), when the tarot reader gives Taylor a mysterious clue—a landmark from her childhood—Taylor races to put the pieces together, unearthing long-buried secrets along the way. Her determination to uncover a new lead upsets her family and vexes her partner—but Taylor knows that finding her sister is worth any price. But is everything really as it seems? Or is someone toying with her?

Death’s Ink- Black Shadow - More...

John Wiltshire

“Learn to love death's ink-black shadow as much as you love the light of dawn.” 
Yeah? Well, Nikolas doesn't do early mornings. 
It takes a certain kind of courage to live as if favoured by the Gods, ignoring the ever-present ghosts of your past--or perhaps not bravery, but arrogance. And maybe not even that. Ben genuinely believes that the past is behind them—that they deserve to enjoy the life they have created. So it's not hubris that leads him to overlook the signs that Nikolas does not share his faith, it's love. But Nikolas knows something is coming. He can't stop it; he can only decide how he will choose to face it. And without Ben's support, he is entirely alone.
