A string of murders tangles up British detective Patrick Dawlish in an intricate web of deception in this riveting World War II–era mystery.
Notified by his wife, Felicity, of the killing of an Auxiliary Territorial Service girl, intelligence officer Patrick Dawlish is reminded of a similar murder of another ATS woman two months earlier. Her suspected killer is in prison awaiting trial. Both victims sport similar tattoos: a five-point star with a circle in the middle. Something is amiss.
When a lieutenant is shot on the same day, Dawlish is unable to curb his curiosity and is given leave to take on the case. With a possibly innocent man imprisoned, time is of the essence. What Dawlish doesn’t know is that a brilliant mastermind is behind the scenes pulling strings, and the man behind bars isn’t his only puppet. Dawlish’s good reputation is known far and wide but it’s about to be used against him, putting in danger those closest to him . . .
They don’t want Shay. They want you.
Okay, so these were not the words I was expecting, coming from my angel father Matiel’s mouth. But here they were.
The Assassins’ Guild of Angels wants me dead.
Fantastic.
I mean, what’s a witch gotta do to catch a break these days? I can’t even go for a leisurely stroll without someone trying to off me.
Worse, I have no idea why they’re hunting me.
But you know what they say: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And I’ve got a whole lot of lemons to work with.
I may not be an angel like my father, but I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Especially when it comes to saving my own skin.
Do I run and hide from these angel assassins? Nope. I’m going to face them head-on and fight.
As the mother of an active toddler and the wife of an often absent husband, Kiki Lowenstein already has both hands full. But when the Lowensteins move into their new house on the same day the construction crew leaves, Kiki must learn to juggle boxes, baby, and big expectations.
Her determination to be a good neighbor hits a roadblock when she angers the Nordstroms, the couple who live next door. Meanwhile, Kiki's mother-in-law is disappointed that Kiki isn't an asset to her son's career. She fusses at Kiki for not being more social. And Kiki's lack of friends only adds to her sense of isolation.
The young mother is overwhelmed cleaning up after the contractors leave and trying to keep up with a toddler who is sticking stray objects up her nose! Life takes a turn for the better when Kiki bumps into a "cleaning professional" (a cleaning lady) in the household products aisle at Home Depot. But is that any way to make friends? Kiki's mother-in-law is not amused.
Things come to an ugly climax when the guy next door, Sven Nordstrom, dies under mysterious circumstances. Sadly, Kiki becomes a suspect. Now this young mother is forced into the one role she never planned on playing: amateur sleuth.
Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide.
Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives - predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning - and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development...
Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name.
As Gwen and Robert grow closer and she dives deeper into the investigation, grave questions arise. So does Gwen’s suspicion that Robert is hiding something - and that he might not be the only one with a secret.
