Synopsis

Prizewinner in New Welsh Writing Awards 2021 Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting
'Compelling... humorous and tightly plotted, with a superb sense of urban space' – Gwen Davies, adjudication, New Welsh Writing Awards 2021
A grieving young man living with OCD discovers he can witness the events of the past. While searching for his recently deceased sister's thesis, he strives to avoid the attention of its subject, a religious sect devoted to The Ripper's Welsh double, 'the Butcher of Butetown'.
Set in contemporary Cardiff, this diverse, pacey, high-concept time-warp crime novella explores themes of violence, ritual and alternative realities, while it seeks to honour the victims of serial killers and challenge the way that some have become part of the tourism industry.

    A fast-paced literary thriller that peels back the layers of small-town police corruption, drugs, and teen disillusionment to expose unlikely heroes and unexpected villains
    		 
    When two teens, Dallan and Hannah, attend the opening night of the infamous Sunsetter rodeo, they find themselves entangled in the suspicious deaths of their two closest loved ones. Driven by loss, rage, and their gut instincts for justice, they channel their grief and confusion into uncovering the criminal truth about their small town of Perron, a prairie community that has been long deserted by industry, leaving a ghostly emptiness of abandoned gravel pits, golf courses, and storefronts. They soon discover that Perron — with its population of bored and discontented youth, as well as police officers who are only looking out for themselves — is the ideal place for a mysterious and omnipresent drug trade to flourish. Soon enough, Dallan and Hannah are being tailed by Deputy Arnason, who has been tasked with protecting the reputation of the local police, even as his conscience screams in protest with every move he makes.
    		 
    Equal parts crime novel and literary fiction, Sunsetter is an unflinching story about the opioid crisis, teen isolation, police brutality, and the fickleness of late-stage capitalism.

    Five new pastiche stories of the world's greatest detective. These stories are shorter than the other novellas in the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries set and were published earlier in either the MX Books or Belanger Books anthologies of Sherlock Holmes stories (Edited by David Marcum). 'The Singular Tragedy of the Atkinson Brothers at Trincomalee' is one of the unpublished cases we hear about in The Canon. The story Takes Holmes and Watson to the tropical island of Ceylon on behalf of the Foreign Office to investigate the murder of one of the Atkinson brothers and sends Holmes into a nasty web of deceit, murder, and perversion in the heat of the colonies. In 'The Barrel of Lagavulin' the adventures of Sherlock Holmes meet up with characters from the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and we learn what happens long after the horrendous events recorded in 'The Cask of Amontillado.' Did you ever wonder what happened to the characters from the Vermissa Valley that you read about in 'The Valley of Fear?" In 'The Fear of Retribution' you will find out, and it is not pleasant. 'The Adventure of the Winchester Heart-Breaker' takes Holmes and Watson back to the Copper Beeches and to what happened to the nasty child who loved to go 'smack, smack, smack' on the cockroaches. 'The Adventure of the Tea-Stained Diamonds' is a completely new Sherlock Holmes mystery in which Holmes needs to stop a cycle of revenge killings that began years earlier in the tea gardens of Darjeeling. If you love the stories of Sherlock Holmes, these five new mysteries will appeal to you

    🏕️ The annual "Campfire Tales" weekend at Whispering Pines Campground is a beloved tradition for a close-knit group of friends. But their reunion turns deadly when the most unpopular member of the group—a man known for his cruel pranks and shady business deals—is found dead near the communal fire pit, a single, handcrafted marshmallow roasting stick protruding from his chest. The local sheriff writes it off as a tragic camping accident, but outdoor guide and nature expert Fern "Fernie" Woods knows a murder weapon when she sees one. When the evidence starts to point toward her as the culprit, Fernie must use her wilderness skills to track the real killer. With help from her loyal German Shepherd, Ranger, and a handsome wildlife photographer camping nearby, Fernie discovers that every one of her friends had a motive. From a stolen inheritance and a sabotaged business to a decades-old secret buried deeper than a tent stake, the peaceful campground holds dark secrets. As a storm rolls in, trapping everyone at the campsite, Fernie realizes the killer is still among them. Can she uncover the truth before the killer decides to extinguish another life?
