Sinossi

Eva and Mark race to catch a serial killer that’s stayed hidden for decades in this thrilling and suspenseful new mystery novel by LJ Bourne.
 
Calm Waters Run Deep.
 
Young men and women stabbed through the heart and left posed by the river in the night. A killing spree that’s been going on for decades. In most of the cases, the official explanation is that the victims were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But true crime writer Eva Lah believes the murders are the work of a serial killer–one that’s successfully avoided detection until now.
 
Evidence is thin on the ground and resistance by local authorities to reopening old cases is staunch. But Eva and former US Military Special Investigator Mark Novak begin looking into the cases anyway. The hunt is on.
 
But Mark and Eva have woken a sleeping monster and now that he’s out in the light, anything can happen.
 
And it will.
 
A must read for fans of Donna Leon, Lisa Gardener and Karin Slaughter!

The Naming of the Birds

Paraic O'Donnell

Something is troubling Inspector Henry Cutter. Sergeant Gideon Bliss is accustomed to his ill-tempered outbursts, but lately the inspector has grown silent and withdrawn. Then, the murders begin. The first to die is the elderly Sir Aneurin Considine, a decorated but obscure civil servant who long ago retired to tend his orchids. If the motive for his killing is a mystery, the manner of his death is more bewildering still. The victims that follow suffer similar fates, their deaths gruesome but immaculately orchestrated. The murderer comes and goes like a ghost, leaving only carefully considered traces. As the hunt for this implacable adversary mounts, the inspector's gloom deepens, and to Sergeant Bliss, his methods seem as mystifying as the crimes themselves. 
 
 
 
Why is he digging through dusty archives while the murderer stalks further victims? And as hints of past wrongdoing emerge—and with them the faint promise of a motive—why does Cutter seem haunted by some long-ago failing of his own? To find the answers, the meek and hapless sergeant must step out of the inspector's shadow. Aided by Octavia Hillingdon, a steely and resourceful journalist, Bliss will uncover truths that test his deepest beliefs. 
 
 
 
Hypnotic and twisty, The Naming of the Birds will leave you questioning what matters most—solving a case or serving justice.
