Sinossi

“A Grade A thriller . . . twisted, near-omnipotent villains, brutal violence, sharp plot twists, solid (and enthralling) historical research.” —The Vancouver Sun   Canadian Mountie Robert DeClercq and his Special X team are facing down a stolen mummy with a trail of corpses in its wake. The question is: Is this the work of one killer? Or is it some sort of diabolical conspiracy? DeClercq’s investigation leads him to a local porn king who specializes in snuff videos and a fresh trail of mutilated female bodies being dumped around the Gulf Islands. But just when DeClercq narrows in on the criminality behind these abominable murders, an old enemy returns. Not only is Mephisto determined to destroy DeClercq once and for all, but this megalomaniac won’t stop until he puts all of humanity at the brink of Death’s Door. . . .   “There are psycho thrillers and there are psycho thrillers, and the ones to watch are those by Michael Slade. This high-powered mystery stars a psycho so heinous that you might want to take a deep breath before starting this baffling case. [Death’s Door is] a story to be read with caution.” —Ottawa Citizen   “There isn’t a precedent for the barbaric brilliance of a Slade novel. With its well-researched, candid ventures into the most deranged of sick psyches, Death’s Door is a witches’ brew of intense intellectualism, police procedure, and white-knuckle, wince-inducing gore.” —Rue Morgue   “Slade has finely honed his skills . . . You’ll be up all night reading it and, before you finally sleep, you’ll check under the bed.” —The Vancouver Sun

    Anna Katharine Green was one of the first female mystery writers to publish under her own name. She was never very successful as an author, but the technical excellence of her books caused several law schools to use The Leavenworth Case as a textbook in some of their classes, as an example of how misleading circumstantial evidence can be.

    Treggan Bay is the kind of place where everyone knows who has keys to what. In May 1996, a body on the village library floor turns a simmering dispute into a reckoning. 
    London journalist Noah Yalland returns to South Devon to clear his late mother’s cliff-top cottage, planning to sell and go. The Landmark Syndicate’s proposed waterside villas have already split neighbours; when their envoy, Frank Cullen, is found bludgeoned, suspicion falls on the locals who challenged him the night before. 
    Eileen Thorne—village librarian and former registrar—sees her quiet order upended as Sergeant Scott Langdon starts asking sharp questions. Noah, who had his own run-in with Cullen, is suddenly far more than a witness. 
    This is a pre-digital mystery: answers live in parish registers, council minutes, sign-in books, and remembered alibis. Noah wants to do right by his father and keep Leo, the new café owner, out of the developers’ crosshairs… even as long-buried records, generational feuds, and a growing pull towards Leo complicate every choice. 
    With gossip moving faster than facts and the bay’s future on the line, can the truth surface before the wrong person pays—or before the deal becomes impossible to stop? 
    A cosy, character-led coastal whodunnit with fair-play cluework, found family, and a queer slow burn (fade-to-black intimacy). First in the Treggan Bay Mysteries; reads cleanly as a standalone.

    'Finally a novel I couldn't put down for an entire weekend' - Petra Hammesfahr, German bestselling author
    
    'Anna Jansson is the new literary voice from the Nordic countries' - Berliner Morgenpost
    
    One forgotten grave. Two identical crimes. A killer who was supposed to be dead.
    
    Detective Constable Maria Wern is no stranger to the darkness of the Swedish landscape, but nothing could prepare her for the ritualistic horror found in the local woods. A man hangs from a noose, his body marked by a brutality so precise it feels like a message.
    
    For the police, it's a nightmare. For Maria, it's a ghost.
    
    The scene is a perfect mirror of a cold case that haunted Uppsala nine years ago - a case that was supposed to be closed when the prime suspect perished in a fiery wreck. But as Maria digs into the charred remains of the past, she realizes the fire didn't end the cycle; it only gave the killer a new set of rules.
    
    As the body count rises, Maria's dogged tenacity draws her away from the safety of her precinct and into the path of a mastermind who has been betrayed and degraded to the breaking point. This is no longer just a procedural investigation - it is a descent into a world of insanity where the killer is always one step ahead.
    
    To catch a man who officially doesn't exist, Maria must risk her career and her sanity to understand a motive that is as ancient as it is deadly.
    
    In the tradition of Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole, Anna Jansson's debut introduces Maria Wern - a detective who discovers that the only thing more dangerous than a killer you can see is the one who has already died.

    The MacTavish & Scott Detective Agency has a new case. Finola's mission is to trace the rightful owner of an ancient Celtic knot locket she's discovered at the Castle Hotel in Aviemore, nestled in the Scottish Highlands. It's the perfect opportunity for the young detective to disguise herself and go undercover once again, this time posing as a chambermaid. But what appears to be a simple, routine assignment quickly turns into a perilous game of cat and mouse, involving a secret that must be guarded at all costs.

    Since my divorce, women have served a solitary purpose for me. The last thing I needed in my life was the headache of a relationship. I had no time or energy for anyone other than my son and my club. 
     
     
     
    But when a chance encounter with my son's teacher turned into something I didn't expect, I tossed aside all my reservations and took a chance. 
     
     
     
    I should've kept my distance. I should've listened when she told me she had doubts about us, suspicions which she was yet to find out were justified, and let her walk away. 
     
     
     
    When our situation with the club heated up, posing a threat to everyone I knew, I could've convinced myself being without her was the best choice. But I was selfish and refused to picture my life without her. 
     
     
     
    Will my decision to keep her close put her further in danger, exposing her to a life she never asked for? 
     
     
     
    And would she be able to find it in her heart to forgive me if my fear ever came true? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
