Sinossi

ARYA, an attractive young white woman, is employed in a remote Capetonian mansion as governess, carer, and temporary house manager to a Black French-speaking millionairess known only as Madame. Arya is disturbed to find that the staff are being used for harsh secret work on the property and investigates, putting herself in grave danger.

Does she have the will, courage, and determination to overcome the challenges she faces – corrupt staff and officials, a conniving witch doctor, a crazed giant, ruthless syndicate gangsters, a family culture of modern slavery, an unfair racist political system, and the ravages of a Covid pandemic under the harshest lockdown rules in the world?

Only time will tell… Will fate reward her if she succeeds? And what will she do with those rewards? Will power corrupt her also, or will the purity and goodness of her soul win against all the odds to right some of the wrongs in her society?

    This program features multicast narration.A USA Today Bestseller!From “one of the genre’s most exciting voices” (E! News) comes one of the year’s most-anticipated thrillers.For the past five years, Ryan Richardson has relived that terrible night. The car door ripping open. The crushing blow to the head. The hands yanking him from the vehicle. His girlfriend Ali’s piercing scream as she is taken.With no trace of Ali or the car, a cloud of suspicion hangs over Ryan. But with no proof and a good lawyer, he’s never charged, though that doesn’t matter to the podcasters and internet trolls. Now, Ryan has changed his last name, and entered law school. He's put his past behind him.Until, on a summer trip abroad to Italy with his law-school classmates, Ryan gets a call from his father: Ali's car has finally been found, submerged in a lake in his hometown. Inside are two dead men and a cryptic note with five words written on the envelope in Ali’s handwriting: If something happens to me… Then, halfway around the world, the unthinkable happens: Ryan sees the man who has haunted his dreams since that night.As Ryan races from the rolling hills of Tuscany, to a rural village in the UK, to the glittering streets of Paris in search of the truth, he has no idea that his salvation may lie with a young sheriff’s deputy in Kansas working her first case, and a mobster in Philadelphia who’s experienced tragedy of his own.In classic Alex Finlay form, If Something Happens to Me is told by several distinct, compelling characters whose paths intersect, detonating into a story of twist after pulse-pounding twist. The novel cements Finlay as one of the leading thriller writers today.A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

    “Phenomenal debut with a huge creep factor… So many twists and turns, you’ll have no idea who the next victim will be. If you love a thriller that will keep you awake well into the night, this book is for you.”
    —Reader review for Let Me Go
    
    In NOT ME (Book #1), a string of murders by a suspected serial killer outside New Orleans forces Camille to face her Creole roots, her tortured past, estranged family—and her buried secrets. Camille’s frustrations mount as she struggles to connect with her newly-assigned partner and as clues don’t add up. To make matters worse, Camille is haunted by memories of her sister’s disappearance years ago—and this new killer’s victims seem to fit the same description. Could it be the same killer? Camille knows she must enter this killer’s twisted mind if she has any hope of stopping him in time. But will he take her down with him?
    
    In NOT NOW (Book #2), when bodies turn up in the swamps, victims of alligator attacks, something seems awry, and Camille must discover if this is mother nature—or the work of a new serial killer. Camille clashes with her partner, convinced there is more to the deaths than alligator attacks—and yet she, herself, is puzzled: who would commit such a twisted crime? Why? At the same time, Camille feels compelled to dive back into her sister’s cold case, and into the disappearance that has haunted her for her entire life. Might she find a new lead? First, though, she must race a ticking clock to save the next victim in time. Unless the killer finds her first.
    
    A riveting psychological crime thriller full of mystery and suspense, the CAMILLE GRACE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist. Packed with twists and turns, her story will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
