    In this chilling novel—introducing an exciting new talent in thriller-writing—a psychiatrist is tasked with unraveling a mystery at a top-secret military base. 
     
    Winter 1967. 
     
    An arctic storm traps three soldiers at a secret American military base located under the ice in Greenland. When the rescue team finally reaches them, two of the soldiers have died in what seems to be an accidental fire and the third, Private Connor Murphy, is left severely burned—with no memory of the previous seven days. 
     
    New York psychiatrist—and occasional FBI consultant—Jack Miller is tasked with uncovering Murphy’s memories. Carrying his own scars from World War II, Miller feels a kinship with the badly disfigured young soldier and patiently works to help him recall the events of that deadly storm. 
     
    However, the FBI wants Miller to do more than just uncover the missing memories. They also tell him that one of the three soldiers was a Soviet spy—and he needs to figure out who. As Miller delves into the personal background of the other two soldiers, and the history of the isolated base, he quickly realizes that nothing is as it seems.

    Murder, Belladonna, and a Cup of Proper Tea… 
    When burned-out psychologist Dr Julian Blackwood arrives in postcard-perfect Varenna, Italy, all he wants is rest, sunshine, and a decent brew. But when a luxury BMW crashes into a fifteenth-century house and a wealthy banker turns up dead—with poison in his veins—Julian finds himself sipping espresso and untangling lies instead of lounging lakeside. 
    The police think it's an open-and-shut case: Thomas Roth, the victim’s playboy nephew, had the motive, means, and a scandalous history. But Julian’s keen eye—and finely tuned instincts—say otherwise. Why does the town's tidy ex-major seem more concerned by tourists than murder? What’s really hiding behind the glam facade of the suspect’s fashion-model fiancée? And who keeps slipping between the cypress trees at Villa Lusso? 
    With the help of a sharp local police officer, a caring citizen, and a suspiciously well-dressed lawyer, Julian delves into a world of vendettas, poisoned beauty products, and civic pride with deadly consequences. From dusty balconies to moonlit alleys, he must outwit a killer who’s counting on small-town secrecy to keep the truth buried. 
    Packed with sun-drenched charm, biting wit, and a twisty puzzle at its heart, Death on Via Venini is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Carlene O’Connor, and Faith Martin. 
    If you love cosy mysteries with brains, beauty, and a dose of old-school sleuthing, Julian Blackwood is your next favourite amateur detective.
