Sinopse

A British secret agent must find a killer to clear his name in this classic crime novel by the author of the Department Z series. 
 
Patrick Dawlish is many things: a fruit farmer, a boxer, a war hero, a British Secret Service agent, and, of course, a husband. He is not, however, a traitor, as Prof. Gurth Haffmeyer has everyone believing. The real traitor—who trades government secrets and is responsible for the deaths of many loyal British and American agents—is Haffmeyer himself. 
 
In order to clear his name, Dawlish travels to a forest in America’s Pacific Northwest to get Haffmeyer to talk, but when he arrives the professor is already dead. Now, Dawlish’s only lead to find the killer is Haffmeyer’s beautiful wife, Vanessa. The trouble is that she’s now pointing a gun at Dawlish . . .

    Bloodlines is a psychological noir novel about memory, inheritance, and the quiet aftermath of violence. 
    When a child becomes the sole witness to something that should not exist, the event does not end—it embeds. Years later, the memory remains unresolved, shaping the way she sees the world, the people around her, and herself. 
    As fragments of the past resurface, the story follows the long shadow cast by family, secrecy, and the things that survive childhood. What was hidden begins to reveal itself—not through spectacle, but through silence, implication, and the slow recognition of what was always waiting. 
    Bloodlines is not a story about what happened. 
    It is a story about what remains. 
    A slow-burn psychological thriller, it explores trauma without exploitation and horror without excess—leaving the reader to confront the weight of inheritance and the cost of survival. 
    This novel contains themes of trauma and psychological horror. There is no explicit gore.

    Regency London is not all romance, society balls and dashing dukes - and magistrates' constable Sam Plank is more than aware of it. 
    In this new mystery set in 1825, Constable Sam Plank suspects there may be a link between a suicide, an embezzler, an arsonist and a thief. No corner of Regency London is untouched by these crimes, as he travels from the mansions of St James’s back to his own childhood haunts among the dank alleyways of Wapping. As his steadfast wife becomes involved in his investigations, and with a keen young police officer now under his command, Sam finds himself leading them all into a confrontation with some ruthless and brutal adversaries – one of whom he had hoped never to see again.
