  Wyatt made some powerful enemies in his first three outings, and the time has come to confront them. But we know by now that Wyatt’s revenge won’t be showy, impetuous and futile; it will be pragmatic, elaborate—and still possibly futile. He holes up in Sydney, preparing to return home to Melbourne to play his enemies against each other in a dangerous double-cross that will tear down the notions of loyalty and obligation. 
   
  Wyatt is meticulous, demanding and implacable, and this may be the toughest, coolest and most uncompromising series in Australian literature.

  Theo Jackson, a reputed criminal, uncovers an international human trafficking syndicate in Cincinnati, forcing he and others to navigate the uncomfortable gray areas of life. 
  When Theo proposes a donation to the city for a new youth center, the mayor sends Theo's childhood friend, police officer Denton Jones, to negotiate the terms. Denton's efforts inexplicably make him a target for a corrupt city official. 
  Yet a dishonest bureaucrat is the least of the city's problems in the face of human trafficking. Theo, repulsed by this affront to humanity, enlists an unlikely coalition of clergy, law enforcement, and criminals to try to stop it. 
  EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a crime fiction adventure where the wrong thing sometimes seems a better choice than the right thing, and where a little bad may simply be 'The Other Side of Good.'

  Fresh from the cutting room floor, The Silver Scream exposes the bloodiest behind-the-scenes details of the most gruesome, shocking, true-crime tragedy of our time. Part autopsy, part grisly director’s “cut,” this is the only book with a comprehensive exploration inside the mind of America’s notorious, celluloid-obsessed, rock star turned cinema-copycat murderer, Spencer Charnas. Bayonet Award–winning television reporter Roy Merkin is the only storyteller in possession of the journals scrawled by disgraced psychotherapist Dr. Ian Black. The Silver Scream reconstructs, with unflinching detail, how fiction became fact, art imitated death, and the most horrific movie murders by the likes of Jason, Leatherface, Freddy, Michael, and the rest became real. Merkin courageously slashes open the ghoulish mind and tortured nightmares of Spencer himself, probing deeply, with razor-sharp precision. Learn how the box office created so many oblong boxes.  
   
  Understand why this rock n’ roll heartthrob chose to stop so many human hearts.
