  "The Welcome Centre" is a chilling modern retelling of Sweeney Todd set in contemporary London, where charity becomes a mask for systematic murder. The story follows Marcus Lovett, a disgraced NHS surgeon who transforms a Victorian building in Bermondsey into what appears to be a beacon of hope for homeless youth aged 16-25. 
  Beginning in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Welcome Centre presents itself as a privately funded facility offering genuine support to London's most vulnerable young people. Marcus, stripped of his medical license after a fatal surgical error caused by substance abuse, partners with Eleanor Blackwood, a former crematorium manager, and Dr. Sarah Chen, an addicted surgeon, to create an elaborate facade hiding a sophisticated organ trafficking operation. 
  The pandemic provides perfect cover for their crimes. With social services overwhelmed and oversight reduced, the Centre systematically identifies residents with valuable organs, murders them in a basement surgical suite, and sells their organs to international buyers for millions of pounds. Bodies are disposed of through corrupt crematorium contacts, leaving no trace of the victims. 
  Seventeen-year-old Lily Morrison becomes suspicious when residents repeatedly disappear without explanation. Her investigation uncovers financial records proving the organ sales, but her discovery puts her in mortal danger. Meanwhile, the arrival of Sarah Morrison, whose aunt Kate is a Metropolitan Police detective, creates an unexpected complication for the operation. 
  As Lily faces imminent death in Dr. Chen's surgical suite, Sarah's desperate phone call to her aunt triggers an armed police response. The dramatic rescue exposes one of Britain's most shocking criminal enterprises, revealing that 73 young people had been murdered over 14 months. 
  The story follows the investigation, trial, and aftermath, exploring themes of exploitation, societal failure to protect the vulnerable.

  “A deliciously insider-y peek into the music industry and fame — Layden has a gift for making the world and her characters feel wonderfully real. You won’t be able to put it down.” -- Rufi Thorpe, author of Margo's Got Money Troubles 
  A propulsive, ""immersive"" (Washington Post) novel about the meteoric rise of a legendary pop star and the secret she’s kept hidden for fifteen years, for fans of Megan Abbott and Daisy Jones & the Six. 
  Everyone in America knows Dylan Read, or at least has heard her music. Since releasing her debut album her senior year of high school, Dylan’s spent fifteen years growing up in the public eye. She’s not only perfected her skills when it comes to lyrics and melody; she’s also learned how to craft a public narrative that satisfies her fans, her label, and the media. In the circles of fame and celebrity in which she now travels, the careful maintenance of Dylan Read pop star is often more important than the songs themselves. 
  And so lots of people think they understand everything about Dylan Read. But what no one knows is the part of her origin story she has successfully kept hidden: her childhood best friend Kelsey vanished the year before Dylan became famous. Now, as Dylan’s at the height of her career, Kelsey’s body is found at the bottom of their hometown lake—forcing Dylan to reckon with their shared past, her friend’s influence on her music, and whether there’s more to their story than meets the eye. 
  Layered, page-turning, and psychologically astute, Once More from the Top is a riveting and keenly observant novel about friendship, ambition, and the cost of fame.
