Sinopse

USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick writing as Jan Coffey
The Fourth Victim is a masterful blend of psychological horror and suspense, a tale that grips readers with its unsettling premise and refuses to let go. Set against the haunting legacy of a New Mexico cult, this story explores the inescapable ties of the past and the chilling cost of survival.
Three survivors of a harrowing cult have already fallen victim to a relentless killer. Now, only one remains. Kelly Stone, the final survivor, has built a quiet life far from her traumatic beginnings. But as the ghosts of her past resurface, so does the danger, drawing her into a terrifying confrontation with a predator determined to finish what was started decades ago.
With its atmospheric tension and relentless pacing, The Fourth Victim plunges readers into a world where fear is palpable and safety is an illusion. The claustrophobic dread of being hunted permeates every page, pulling readers into Kelly's desperate struggle to protect her daughter and herself.

Kelly's journey is not just one of survival but also of reckoning—with her past, her identity, and her determination to fight back against a fate that seems inevitable. Her character is richly drawn, her vulnerability making her triumphs all the more powerful, while the antagonist is a chilling embodiment of unrelenting evil.
Perfect for fans of dark psychological horror with a human edge, The Fourth Victim delivers heart-pounding terror and poignant storytelling. It's not just a book—it's an unshakable experience, one that lingers long after the last page. This is a tale that will chill readers to their core and leave them hungry for more.

Black Heart - DI Jamie Johansson...

Morgan Greene

What dreams may come ... 
On the idyllic Swedish island of Gotland, another teenager is found dead. This makes 22 suicides in 17 months. Some knew each other, others didn't. There are no notes. No explanations. No reasons. Each new death rocks the island to its core, and everyone holds their breath for the next to be found ... 
 
With the media ordered not to report on it, the police baffled, and the islanders looking desperately for someone, or something, to blame ... chaos is imminent. 
 
Among the horror, a father whose daughter is missing searches frantically for answers. A journalism student chases the truth at all costs as fear and persecution grip her university. And a notorious detective is dragged out of exile to ask questions the police can't. Or won't ... 
 
As terror takes root in every home and mind, and the death toll continues to rise, only one thing links the victims: a black heart, etched into their skin. What does it mean? And will it be enough to save the island before it tears itself apart?

Death Toll

Russ Linton

Former special agent Kade Black knows his adversaries well. He's shadowed terrorists, spies, and mafia bosses. 
 
 
 
But he's never had to confront all three at once. 
 
 
 
Kade's latest clue has him watching a new dead drop serviced by the late GRU operative, Sergei. But this drop is inactive. No sign of use. 
 
 
 
Another intelligence agency has arrived in Sergei's wake. Far from a clandestine operation, agents of the PRC are moving around in the open. Forcing their way into small town politics and flirting with criminal enterprise. But to what end? 
 
 
 
The answers will expose a very different gap along the banks of the Delaware River. An intelligence gap. One that puts global security at risk. 
 
 
 
With the identity of a key conspirator in Sergei's operation close at hand, Kade will need to root out the bad actors, dead or alive. For that, he'll need the help of friends and foes alike. 
 
 
 
But has this shadowy cabal already exacted their deadly toll?
