Sinossi

Recently promoted to sergeant, Don Barton is back at Newbury where he is placed in charge of a dysfunctional team of young constables.
 
While he strives to knock his shift into shape, darker forces are conspiring against him. The psychopathic terrorist, Irene, has been released from prison and is determined to take revenge on Don for his part in her arrest.
 
At the same time, a patient walks away from an Oxfordshire mental hospital, ready to declare war on the world. Back in Newbury, Sean Treadaway, a vicious local thug, has vowed to rip Don’s lungs out.
 
When he needs support the most, Don’s old boss has retired only to be replaced by a superintendent who hates him for damaging his career. Can Don survive the convergence of evil that now surrounds him, and bring the criminals to justice?

    There's a Chinese spymaster in DC stealing US Special Ops war plans, a nest of Chinese agents inside Fort Bragg, a Chinese Navy task force headed into the South China Sea to create mischief, and they just shot up Bob Burke’s new pickup truck! Yes, trouble’s brewing in Sherwood Forest, and it isn’t a pot of green tea. He's a mild-mannered, slight of build, telecommunications company executive, often dismissed as the "telephone guy." But after four tours running 'special operations' missions in Iraq and in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan as an Army Ranger and Delta Force commander, he's one of the most lethal weapons the US government ever produced.

Time to bring out the Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifles, turn The Geeks loose, and call in some Delta pals from Fort Bragg.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    "The Unnamable" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in September 1923, first published in the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales, and first collected in Beyond the Wall of Sleep in 1943. 
    Carter, a weird fiction writer (likely Randolph Carter who features in some of Lovecraft's other tales such as "The Statement of Randolph Carter") meets with his close friend, Joel Manton, in a cemetery near an old, dilapidated house on Meadow Hill in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. As the two sit upon a weathered tomb, Carter tells Manton the tale of an indescribable entity that allegedly haunts the house and surrounding area. He contends that because such an entity cannot be perceived by the five senses, it becomes impossible to quantify and accurately describe, thus earning itself the term unnamable. 
    As the narration closes, this unnamable presence attacks both Carter and Manton. Both men survive and awaken later at St. Mary's hospital. They suffer from various lacerations, including scarring from a large horn-shaped object and bruises in the shape of hoof-prints on their backs.

    —Reader review for Girl One: Murder
    
    FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage has crossed the country and transferred to her dream job with the BAU at Quantico. With a new job, a new house, and her husband by her side, Taylor is ready to put the darkness of her past behind her: a sister who vanished when she was a teenager.
    
    Taylor is ready for a fresh start. But when a tarot reader on the boardwalk offers an uncannily specific prediction about her next case, Taylor, ready to brush it off, is haunted by it—and can’t help noticing that it was accurate.
    
    In DON’T LOOK (Book #1), bodies of young men are turning up, dressed unusually in gowns and posed like dolls. When a tarot reader offers FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage a clue to finding the diabolical serial killer, Taylor has no choice but to open her mind and follow the trail. What she encounters, though, is far more harrowing than anything she expected—and may just change everything she thought she knew. But time is running out, and Taylor will have to use every tool at her disposal to save the next victim, whether she believes in it or not. Might the tarot reader hold the key? Or is she leading Taylor down a fatal dead end?
    
    In DON’T BREATHE (Book #2), victims of a new serial killer are turning up dead, chess pieces mysteriously left on their bodies. Brilliant FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage is determined to crack this one on her own, but when she hits a dead end, she must turn to the tarot reader for a clue—one that may hold the key, or may lead her right into a trap. Taylor, in the midst of the case of her life, must also battle demons from her past: dark secrets from Taylor’s past are threatening to bubble up—and possibly to end her marriage. Can she hold it together long enough to crack the case? Or might she be the next victim? 
    
    In DON’T RUN (Book #3), a new serial killer haunts the city, leaving his victims’ bodies with an eerie signature: a single orchid. Brilliant FBI Special Agent and BAU specialist Taylor Sage, battling her own demons, tries to ignore the tarot reader’s riddles. But when she has no choice but to explore them, she may just wish she hadn’t.  With the FBI, police and local horticulturalists stumped, it’s up to Taylor to connect the dots. But as Taylor’s marriage crumbles around her and she struggles to connect with her new partner, she’s under more pressure than ever to find this killer—before he finds her first. Could the tarot reader’s clue provide a spark of inspiration? Or will this case be Taylor’s last?
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the TAYLOR SAGE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.
    
    Books #4-#6 in the series—DON’T FLINCH, DON’T REMEMBER, and DON’T TELL—are now also available.
