Cold Heart

Jane Heafield

Sinossi

“What a fantastic book! I was gripped from the start and read late into the night.” —Goodreads reviewer, five starsA series of bizarre crimes across the English city of Sheffield brings a police detective and a PI together in an increasingly dangerous game . . . Liam Bennet has just quit the force to become a private detective—and to his frustration, his first case is a weird petty crime while his good friend acting DCI Liz Miller is assigned a murder. Two murders, in fact—one recent, the other involving a skeletonized body, but both linked by pictures of dice at the scenes. After Liz is attacked on the job, Liam visits her in hospital and they discover another odd connection: both Liam and the police are looking into teachers who’ve been victimised. Meanwhile, more dice keep turning up—though the crimes connected to them seem utterly random, ranging from the serious to the bizarre. As the two close in on the mystery, will they be able to identify a pattern—or is their luck about to run out?

Mark of the Triad

D. B. Goodin

When the country falls, the hunt begins. 
The United States has shattered. After a devastating trade war, fewer than twenty states remain. Power is fractured. Infrastructure is crumbling. And for most, survival means trading bullets and barter. 
Lonn Peters, once a top detective in Honolulu, now scrapes by as a streetwise bounty hunter in the ruins of Hilo—guarding shops from gang rule, haunted by the badge he left behind. But when a mysterious job pulls him to the mainland, Lonn stumbles into a world far more dangerous than he imagined. 
A fellow investigator has vanished. The authorities want it buried. Lonn wants answers. 
What he uncovers could rip apart the fragile alliances still holding America together—and put a target on his back bigger than anything he’s faced before. 
Corruption runs deep. Truth is a weapon. And in a nation on the brink, trust can kill you. 
Perfect for fans of gritty dystopian thrillers, Mark of the Triad delivers relentless action, dark intrigue, and a protagonist who refuses to quit—no matter the cost. Buckle up. This ride doesn’t slow down.
