Sinopsis

The Octoroon is a Victorian novel of identity, prejudice, and forbidden love set against the American South. Cora Leslie, a beautiful young woman of mixed heritage, moves within wealthy society until her ancestry is revealed, placing her in danger of rejection and injustice. As friendship, romance, and ambition collide, Braddon exposes the cruelty of racial divisions, the fragility of social acceptance, and the moral conflicts born of a society built on inequality.

    Something is very off with a killer’s new crime scenes, the arrangement of bodies making no sense. The FBI turns to its brilliant forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red, but even she is stumped. As Fiona digs deeper, she wonders: are they walking right into a killer’s trap?

    Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having ran a funeral parlor, and she would have ran the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
    
    Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
    
    With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
    
    But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    This recording has been digitally produced by Kate Bold, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. Dylan First, brilliant psychologist turned FBI agent, cannot forget the horrific discovery of her past—that her mentor and father figure, a brilliant psychiatrist and professor, was secretly a serial killer—now that he has escaped prison. When new victims appear, their deaths eerily announced by newspaper obituaries before they are killed, the FBI suspects her mentor’s work—but Dylan knows that the game this killer is playing is not at all what it seems—it is far more diabolical—and far more deadly.

    In the second instalment of the Maze Trilogy, religious fanaticism invades the village at the centre of the Maze: that and strangers from the kingdom usher in a period of change in which chaos rules. Meanwhile, on the outside of the Maze, murder, torture and treachery stalk the politics of the monastery as the despotic Chief Monk pursues the top job. The monastery hospital incarcerates its patients and makes them sicker in body and soul, not better. It is a story of birth, rebirth and renewal; revolution, drug abuse, gang warfare and social unrest; rape, revelations, lies and deceit. But the Maze stands firm.

    Women are being brutally murdered in Boulder, Colorado, their bodies stuffed into the trunks of their cars, and they all have one thing in common: they were meeting someone for a date that they met online. It’s clear a serial killer is at large, and FBI Agent Tara Mills is quickly on the case. But she soon learns that none of the women were meeting the same person, or so it seems, because none of the victims’ dates can be tracked down either. 
     
    As Tara digs deep into the world of online dating, and as more women turn up dead, she soon realizes that the killer’s web is larger than she ever imagined. With the killer always one step ahead, taking on a new identity and leaving no trail, Tara fears she has finally met her match. 
     
    Tara is pushed to her limits. But with the secrets of her past finally resolved, she hopes she can finally lay it to rest and focus wholeheartedly on the case. But when she learns that her biggest nightmare is yet to come, she fears that she has only made things worse for herself, for her fiancé, and for their future. 
     
    Book #5 in the series will be available soon!
