Summary

An unsolved, cold murder case sends deadly ripples to the present in this thrilling and suspenseful crime mystery novel by LJ Bourne.
 
Bad roads don’t lead to good places.
 
The murder of a small town mayor blows a cold case wide open. But less than twenty-four hours after the mayor’s body is found, the local authorities close the investigation. They’re calling it an open and shut case of a domestic argument gone wrong.
 
True crime writer Eva Lah and Ex-Military Special Investigator Mark Novak aren’t convinced it’s as simple as that. They believe the death is connected to a brutal killing of a young woman eight years ago.
 
The killer is back and he’s desperately trying to cover his tracks. And Eva and Mark are determined to stop him.
 
But this killer enjoys his freedom too much to let anyone expose him. If they get too close, this could be the last case Mark and Eva ever investigate.
 
A must read for fans of Donna Leon, Lisa Gardener and Karin Slaughter!
 
BAD ROADS, the second book in the E&M Investigations series, is a standalone, fast-paced and gripping crime mystery novel that is impossible to put down!
Available since: 12/03/2023.

At twenty-two, he is standing on solid ground and trying to create a life of his own. However, it does get lonely sometimes. He is young but knows his days of partying and sleeping around cannot last forever. Growing up in a small town and deciding to stay there does not leave him with many options. He still hangs out with the same friends he always has and is slowly running out of options when it comes to the female population of Tyler, Texas. That is until Carrisa Abbott walks into the pet store where Vladimir works. Of course, she is accompanied by her controlling, hotheaded boyfriend Jalal, so Vladimir eases back, not wanting to step on anyone's toes. He is still a Gentleman.

    The BRAND NEW, action-packed Ryker thriller from million-copy bestselling author Rob Sinclair. 
    His past is coming back with a vengeance… 
    Ex-intelligence agent James Ryker has done many things in the past he’d prefer to forget. The last time he saw Gregor Minko - son to one of Ukraine’s most dangerous and politically influential arms dealers – Gregor was a scared 6-year-old boy in need of protection. But Ryker had to walk away. The boy wasn’t the mission. 
    Twenty years on Ryker is approached by two strangers in Antibes, France, asking for his help in finding Gregor – now going by the name of Gregor Rebrov. With a back catalogue of ‘crimes against the Russian state’, Gregor has escaped from a gulag in Siberia and is now in the wind. 
    Fuelled by old demons and painful memories of his own brutal actions in the past, Ryker finds himself once again in the thick of a complicated race against time and who knows how many of the world’s secret services, to find Gregor and get some answers. 
    As answers turn into more questions, they lead Ryker closer to home… and he can’t shake the feeling that he may be to blame. 
    A brand new high-stakes thriller. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Robert Ludlum.

    When the station board of directors sends former maintenance technician Triana Moore to Lewei, she expects to bump knuckles with a few dignitaries, tell a couple of white lies, and drink some substandard cocoa. Her friend--son of the former dictator--tells scary stories of the planet, but Triana’s not afraid of the Leweian secret police. She’ll be on her best behavior with Ty and Vanti to watch her back. With the might of SK2 behind her, Triana should be untouchable.
