Sinopse

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. 
 
English fruit farmer Patrick Dawlish and his wife, Felicity, are no strangers to the danger that comes with Patrick’s occasional work as an amateur sleuth. 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 . . .

    'An intelligent, sharp, no-holds-barred thriller that had me leaning forward, turning page after page . Bravo, Mr. Humphreys. This may be your first contemporary thriller, but it certainly won't be your last' Giles Kristian
    One city, one day, and a battle of wills reaches boiling point
    Joseph Severin, a respectable North London businessman, has a lucrative side job. He's doing the books, old school (because these days the only trail you can't trace is a paper one) for a rogue MI5 outfit, the Shadows, headed by psychopathic Sebastien. However, when the game is rumbled, Sebastien sends hitman Mr Phipps to kill Severin and get those books back. The spider web of collateral damage will be extensive, taking in Lottie, for whom Severin has developed a sudden, wild passion; Sonya, a Russian escort with a desperate deadline; and at MI5, the ambitious Ellerby, who has them all in her sights.
    It's the hottest summer in fifty years and in the shadows, a deadly domino effect is about to spill out into the harsh light of day.
    An earlier version of this book was published as One London Day by C.C. Humphreys, now expanded and revised 2026.

    For as psychic as I am, things go sideways far too often. 
    Hallelujah, I now have everything I ever wanted—my memories and the soul mate I didn't even realize I was missing. There’s just one problem... the old gods expect me to make amends for my absence. Fan-freakin-tasic. 
    But time lost as the Oracle isn’t the only thing I must atone for. My friend Demetri was stripped of his powers—and it was all my fault. Now, Demetri wants nothing to do with me. 
    To make matters worse, people are flocking to Inner Sanctum in hordes, wanting a reading with the 'world's most powerful psychic.' Lucky me. 
    However, one case, in particular, hits my radar and despite myself, I can’t shake it. A 14-year-old boy is wrapped up with a deadly governmental agency and he’s scared to death. And he should be—they want to weaponize his power. 
    Torn between what was and what is, I'm struggling to fully embrace who I'm becoming. 
    Will I be able to help Demetri and make things right? Or will my new role as Oracle mean leaving the past behind?

    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.
