Summary

Description:
A fortune-teller passing through the village made one prediction: this family would produce a top scorer this year—a born lucky star who would bring fortune to them all. But there was a jinx star too, he warned, quietly draining the lucky one's luck.

To protect her precious daughter, Sunny's stepmother threw Sunny out that very night, certain she was the curse.

She had it exactly backwards.

Away from the home that broke her, Sunny's fogged-over mind suddenly clears. Top marks. A grandfather's fierce, gentle love. Roosters that appear from nowhere, an antique in a dusty cupboard, a lottery ticket picked on a whim. Meanwhile the daughter they doted on, and the stepmother who tormented her, begin to unravel.

A warm, deeply satisfying story about luck, cruelty, and the quiet justice of becoming exactly who you were always meant to be.

    Meet DI Melanie Watton, who soon learns that imitation is the deadliest form of flattery in this page-turning crime thriller from the author of Intention.
    This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
    When the body of a young woman, Jenni Grantham, is found abandoned, DI Melanie Watton and her team are called to investigate. It soon becomes apparent that the murder, the method and the appearance of the victim, is something they have seen before.
    
    With the help of Medical Examiner George Waller, DI Watton uncovers the case history of Michael Richards—a local murderer who killed five women before turning himself in.
    
    Further investigations reveal that Jenni was recently reported missing by her parents. And when Jenni's personal effects are explored, shocking discoveries are made about the victim's fascination with the original killings.
    
    However, when the ME makes a surprise discovery, DI Watton realises that Jenni was perhaps not the only local with a fixation on these infamous killings.
    
    With a copycat killer on the loose, the team know it is only a matter of time before another body is discovered. But when a second victim is found, the team find themselves questioning everything they thought they knew . . .

    Some wars are destined to be fought forever… 
    They call it ‘The Graveyard of Empires’ for good reason. For thousands of years, Afghanistan has been the rock that generations of would-be conquerors have perished on. What chance does one man stand in this place? 
    So when ex-SAS major Ben Hope hears former bounty-hunter, Madison Cahill, needs his help he knows it will test him to his limits – and beyond. As the borders slam shut, he must trace his friend before the new regime does. His only lead? An ancient lost city founded by Alexander the Great and rediscovered by Madison’s archaeologist father. 
    The mission will take Ben back to a place he thought was firmly in his past, back to someone he can never leave behind – and back to some old comrades. Among these is SAS man turned assassin, Jaden Wolf. Wolf has come to Afghanistan with his own agenda and knows as well as Ben that the conditions they face may prove as lethal as their enemies. 
    As they uncover old secrets, they find modern ones are just as dangerous. Who is the mysterious ‘Spartan’ that the British officials are so desperate to extract from behind enemy lines? And outnumbered and outgunned at every turn, is the pressure of being the last hope of the innocent too much to bear when surviving past sundown seems impossible? 
    In Graveyard of Empires, Scott Mariani, a bestselling author, takes readers on a suspenseful journey of private espionage. The military and detective elements make this a standout in the mystery and adventure genre. 
    For fans of Andy Mcdermott (The Knights of Atlantis), James Rollins (Tides of Fire), Dan Brown (Angels And Demons), David Baldacci (Strangers in Time), and Vince Flynn (Capture or Kill).
