Sinopsis

What happens when a special ability allows someone to use a sense in their work that most people cannot?
 
Gitta Kardos is a 40-year-old single businesswoman who lives for her work. As a perfumer, she designs personalised fragrances. But that's just the surface. Her work is much more complex, using her refined sense of smell to detect scents that no one else can. With the right concentration of scents, she can influence the behaviour of others without their awareness.
 
She can put one party at an advantage in business negotiations.
 
It can infer the current state of an athlete's body odour and thus determine his chances of winning for a bookmaker.
 
She can tell whether a negotiating partner is scared, aroused or sexually motivated.
 
And she can do all this by her smelling.
 
Gitta Kardos is brought together with a new client in Budapest, whose order she fulfils without a second thought, putting her and the business she founded with her partners in danger. Before she knows it, she is being hunted by the police as a suspect of multiple murders, and if that wasn't enough, she is being pursued by several assassins.
 
Can she prove his innocence in the murders? Can she outwit his pursuers? Will she find out who wanted her dead?
 
And how can she use his wonderfully sensitive sense of smell to do it?

    The moonlight spills like silver across ancient walls, and somewhere in the velvet darkness, a whisper stirs—a name, half-sighed, half-forgotten. Carmilla. A name as soft as a caress, as chilling as a shadow at the edge of the candle's glow. She does not knock at your door; she drifts through it like a dream. She is beauty wrapped in mystery, desire woven with dread.
    This is not a story of fangs bared in the night, nor of crude terrors lurking in the crypt. Carmilla is subtler, more intoxicating—a tale that shivers on the border between love and death, fascination and fear. It is the pulse quickened without reason, the gaze held too long, the hush of silken footsteps on cold stone.
    Long before Dracula cast his shadow over the genre, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu shaped the vampire legend with an elegance both haunting and hypnotic. He understood that true horror does not always come in the shape of monsters but in the slow unraveling of certainty, the delicate trespass of the unknown into the familiar.
    To read Carmilla is to step into a dream—one of moonlit corridors and stolen glances, of fevered devotion and something else, something nameless and ancient, curling at the edges of the night. But beware: dreams have a way of lingering, and shadows… shadows are never empty.

    It is winter in the Cotswolds and a suspicious death has occurred. Psychic medium ‘Madame Zelda’ is found dead on Christmas morning, an open box of chocolates by her side. DCI Hayley Pascal and her new oppo, DS Artie Frobisher, have little to occupy themselves over the dead time that is Christmas at Oxford Police Station, until the chocolates are found to contain a poisonous substance. Cold cases can wait. They now have a new case to solve: one of MURDER. 
    There are no shortage of suspects: the victim’s feckless husband Charlie, her simple-minded son Luke and Grant Vaughan, the man she has cut out of his mother’s will. Added to these complications, Hayley Pascal is missing her daughter, who lives with her ex-husband in Paris and who has promised to visit her at New Year, but doesn’t. Here is a straightforward murder mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie, but it is also a story of ordinary people driven to drastic measures through loneliness, misery and the need for revenge.
