Summary

Chief Mark Friessen is about to be a family man, with a baby on the way. However, he faces a choice: Either he breaks his word to his wife by taking on a job that will put him in danger, or he stays silent, which would haunt him forever.


 
Mark lives and dies by his word, and he would do anything for his wife but park his morals and turn his back on those he has sworn to protect, kids and animals, a promise he made to his wife and to himself.

After evidence uncovers a global child trafficking network with ties to his island, Mark is contacted by a secret agency of retired servicemen and cops who ask him to help track down and rescue the children no one is looking for.

The only problem is that Billy Jo is pregnant, and accepting the mission will mean Mark needs to leave her for weeks or months on end. As he struggles with his decision to leave the job he loves and the island that has become his home, he realizes he’s at a crossroads. He will need to give everything to save the children, bringing an end to the trafficking of minors, and the elite who prey on them, forever. It’s the only way to bring everyone involved to justice.

Available since: 12/07/2022.
Print length: 310 pages.

    An Obsession. A Red Dress. A Mystery That Unravels the Mind. 
    From his window, he watches her every day. The beautiful woman in the red dress. Always the same red dress. Always leaving at exactly 8:00, only to return moments later, repeating the routine like a haunting ritual. 
    For three years, her strange behavior has consumed his thoughts, drawing him deeper into an obsession he can’t explain. Why does she keep returning? Why does she wear the same red dress every day? 
    His curiosity turns to desperation, and in a moment of reckless curiosity, he sends his drone into her apartment. What he sees shatters his reality. A room too perfect, too symmetrical—almost inhuman. A row of identical red dresses hanging in unnerving precision. An immaculate apartment where nothing is out of place, yet everything feels wrong. 
    Then his drone crashes. And his life changes forever. 
    As his paranoia grows, so does the mystery. Who is the woman beyond his window? Why does her world feel like an illusion? And who is truly watching whom? 
    The Woman Beyond My Window is a psychological thriller that explores the thin line between obsession and madness, perception and reality. A haunting tale that will leave you questioning everything, including your own reflection. 
    Perfect for fans of psychological suspense and mind-bending mysteries.

    In the Nihonbashi district of Tokyo an unusual statue of a Japanese mythic beast—a kirin—stands guard over the district from the classic Nihonbashi bridge. In the evening, a man who appears to be very drunk staggers onto the bridge and collapses right under the statue of the winged beast. The patrolman who sees this scene unfold, goes to rouse the man, only to discover that the man was not passed out, he was dead; that he was not drunk, he was stabbed in the chest. However, where he died was not where the crime was committed—the key to solving the crime is to find out where he was attacked and why he made such a super human effort to carry himself to the Nihonbashi Bridge. That same night, a young man named Yashima is injured in a car accident while attempting to flee from the police. Found on him is the wallet of the murdered man. 
     
     
     
    Tokyo Police Detective Kyoichiro Kaga is assigned to the team investigating the murder—and must bring his skills to bear to uncover what actually happened that night on the Nihonbashi bridge. What, if any, connection is there between the murdered man and Yashima, the young man caught with his wallet? Kaga's investigation takes him down dark roads and into the unknown past to uncover what really happened and why.
