    In the heart of an Atlantic superstorm, the Tahila fights to stay afloat. 
    Amid the chaos, the ship’s collision-avoidance system blares a warning. Radar shows no ship. No signal. No lights. Just a strange silhouette beneath the waves. A searchlight is focussed into the raging sea and the crew spot something impossible: the slanted roof of a house with glass windows and solid walls… adrift in the open ocean more than a thousand miles from land. 
    Lightning flashes – and behind one of the windows, a woman is staring out, her eyes wide with a silent plea. 
    Braving the storm, Sam Reilly dives beneath the surface and emerges inside the structure to rescue her. The woman greets him with an enigmatic familiarity and a secret that will challenge everything he thought he knew about his past…

    The Reluctant Witness 
    (By Sal Blue) 
    Some truths refuse to stay buried. 
    Detective Darrius Blue thought the nightmare ended when the Confessional Killer was caught. But when a traumatized survivor emerges with whispers of an ancient brotherhood inside the Church—known only as The Order of Clemency—Darrius is pulled back into a web of secrets that reach higher and deeper than he ever imagined. 
    With Detective Sarah Donovan at his side, Blue’s pursuit of justice drags them through a maze of lies, sacred oaths, and silent witnesses who would rather die than speak. Each clue exposes another layer of corruption, each confession another soul lost to penance and power. 
    When a reclusive nun steps forward with evidence too damning to ignore, Blue must decide how far he’s willing to go for the truth—because in this investigation, even the innocent aren’t untouched, and the guilty hide behind holy walls. 
    As old enemies resurface and alliances blur, Blue discovers that salvation and damnation often share the same confessional. 
    Faith. Guilt. Vengeance. Redemption. 
    In The Reluctant Witness, the line between them is razor-thin—and crossing it may cost Darrius Blue everything.

    Is there anything scarier than a homicidal hospital? 
     
     
     
    There's no love lost between Imogene and her boyfriend's mother. But when Eleanor is admitted to a sanatorium for her migraines, Imogene takes the high road and visits. 
     
     
     
    The hospital is housed in a creepy mansion with a chilling past. The medicines being used are a throwback to the days of snake oil and superstition. And while she's there, Imogene bumps into a newly deceased patient. 
     
     
     
    As hauntings go, this ghost steals the show. And everything else. Turns out Becky Riddell was being treated for kleptomania. Her influence is hard to resist. 
     
     
     
    Things take a sinister turn when dead bodies start popping up around the sanatorium at an alarming rate. Imogene knows she should investigate, but the last thing she needs is more drama in her life. She has enough thanks to the poltergeist that's been dogging her steps for the past month. 
     
     
     
    However, if Imogene doesn't figure out who's killing off patients and why, she'll have to move out of her apartment. Thanks to Becky's compulsion, she's pinched so much stuff, there's barely enough room for her and her cat. Besides, El would never forgive her if his mother became one of the not-so-dearly departed.

Now Jane's wondering wheat happened to pretty, blonde Marlene, the daughter of an old friend she recently hired on a trial basis. It looks as if the nineteen-year-old has left without giving notice, and no one seems to know where she's gone. Her mother can't track her down. The police figure she's run away.

Her amateur sleuthing reveals a boyfriend with violent tendencies—and a police record—and a flirtation with a mystery man. As Jane discovers that Marlene's innocence ended long ago, Winky has a critical clue that could reveal if the killer came in on little cat feet . . . and if that same killer is getting ready to strike again.
