Sinossi

An amateur sleuth investigates a case of books worth killing for in this classic English crime novel by the author of the Department Z series.

However, neither of them expected the arrival of Felicity’s American relatives to plunge them into an international drug smuggling conspiracy. 
 
Wealthy Uncle Zebediah is amassing an extensive library of antique books. Unfortunately, his latest acquisition has drawn attention from a group of criminals desperate enough to kill. But why? With the police proving useless, it’s up to Dawlish to deliver justice before his guests’ visit ends in murder . . .

    The monster in chains has the key to her past. But the real threat was never locked away at all. 
    Dr. Hanna Nowack is a professional at keeping the world’s most dangerous men safely behind glass. But she’s never met a monster like Richard Hale. 
    A brilliant, charismatic serial killer, Hale shatters Hanna's composure when he requests her by name. Their sessions spiral into a chilling, claustrophobic game of mirrors and manipulation as Hale exposes fragments of Hanna’s past—memories she’s buried and questions she never dared to ask about her husband’s death. 
    Inside the concrete quiet of Great Meadow, Hale offers Hanna pieces of a puzzle she never meant to solve: the secrets her husband never told about his criminal family, and the danger that didn't die with him. Each session tightens the noose—clinical questions turning into confession, fascination into fear. And somewhere in the dark, someone is watching. 
    To uncover the truth, Hanna must decide which monster to face: the one in chains, or the one she invited in. Because the closer she gets to Hale, the more she begins to wonder if the real threat was never locked away at all. 
    Book One in The Lies That Bind Us series. Continue Hanna’s story in Book Two, Beyond the Truth. 
    Note: This novel contains mature themes and psychological intensity consistent with the thriller genre.

    Stiletto is a timely, fast-paced, feminine mystery told in two diverse voices—a tense, erotic duet between the sharp, intuitive Detective Anna Crane and her prime suspect, the brilliant biochemist Eleanor Kiernan. Both women are haunted by the tragic loss of a sibling, but Kiernan's twin brother died of an overdose of the opiate she helped to create. 
     
     
     
    When a Big Pharma exec, Leo Cushman, is fatally stabbed, there are many other suspects: Obliterate Opiates activists, a disinherited ex-wife and stepson, a secret lover, an addict vowing vengeance. But Detective Crane prioritizes investigating Kiernan in her first high-profile case, even as she is unexpectedly drawn to her suspect. Can an antagonist also be an ally? Can a young detective be seduced by a murderer? 
     
     
     
    A cinematic, stylish psychological thriller, Stiletto is a suspenseful cross between the sensual obsessions of Killing Eve and the compelling drama of the award-winning television series Dopesick that exposes the greed of Big Pharma and its guilt in marketing an opiate that kills over 100,000 a year. But the real mystery in Stiletto is what its two protagonists discover as its twisting plot unfolds—about the real crime and about themselves.
