Sinossi

In this “stunning [and] enthralling” thriller from an Edgar Award–winning author, a politician’s wife covers up her hit and run and gets blackmailed (Miami News). 
 
On a country road on a dark, rainy night, Martha Bascom’s life is changed forever. As the young wife of Lem Bascom, the front-runner in a gubernatorial race and a presidential hopeful, Martha has everything to lose when she accidentally hits a man with her car. Convinced by a political ally to cover up the incident, Martha reluctantly agrees. 
 
Then her nightmare begins. Someone knows the truth and is determined to torture her with it. Soon she falls prey to a terrifying blackmail scheme, a secret she can share with no one. Especially her husband. She might be protecting him, but will Martha be able to save herself?

    Dawn creeps over the horizon, illuminating the body lying on the marshy ground. He looks peaceful, young, healthy. But there is no bloom of life in his cheeks, his eyes are cold and dead…
    
     
    When Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime Unit, Dr Harrison Lane, is called to desolate Wicken Fen to assist with a murder investigation, he can’t believe what he sees. Curved iron horseshoes hold down the body of a young, athletic man, and birch leaves rest delicately upon his torso, but it’s what lies above the leaves that interests Harrison…
    
     
    A small bone hangs around the young man’s neck and Harrison immediately recognises it as a magical talisman, said to bring the wearer great powers. But it’s from an ancient sect which some believe has links to the devil.
    
     
    The victim is soon identified as local jockey Paul Lester. Searching his home, Harrison discovers a thick white envelope containing horsehair and cryptic directions to a meeting place. With a sickening feeling, he suddenly understands why Paul was targeted; he was a member of another secret society: The Horsemen. Could that mean that other members are in danger?
    
     
    But Harrison can’t get the detective in charge of the case to take his worries seriously. Then another victim is found dead, pinned down by horseshoes, and his worst fears are confirmed. Harrison knows the fastest way to stop this killer is to infiltrate the society, but can he discover their secrets and work out how the killer is tracking them before it’s too late?
    
     
    Fans of Angela Marsons, LJ Ross and Rachel McLean won’t be able to stop reading this totally gripping crime thriller.

    In this quick-hitting thriller set in Baltimore, during the waning years of the Cold War, Lussi Sim, a Norwegian physician, is the medical director of a newborn intensive care unit. 
    																			 
    Lussi had practiced pediatrics near her parents in Oslo until her father suffered a stroke. Growing up, Lussi experienced chronic mental trauma in the self-assigned role of her mother’s bodyguard. Ironically, her father’s stroke removed the physical threat to her mother and enabled Lussi to pursue her long-suppressed goal to train as a newborn intensive care subspecialist in the United States. 
    An excellent physician, Lussi copes with the stress of treating sick infants by entering the “rescuer” role she adopted to protect her mother. However, her fight v. flight response to threat defaults to the fight mode and she frequently fails to control her anger when negotiating with hospital managers she believes value profit over optimal patient care. 
    Stumbling upon a deadly medical conspiracy, evolving from a US government-approved financial agreement between the CIA and the Saudi Royal family, Lussi must now use her well-honed fighting instincts to overcome lethal obstacles, rescue victims, and bring the perpetrators to justice.

    HELL ISN’T FIRE. HELL IS A HALL FULL OF MIRRORS. 
    Psychology teacher Michael Bendixen knows it’s not uncommon for people in grief to imagine seeing or hearing lost loved ones. So, when he hears his dead son’s voice calling for him in the high school hallway, he chalks it up to just that. A hallucination born from his grief. 
    Then a student tells him she heard it too. 
    The student is Lisa Swan, a seventeen-year-old girl who, in the thirteen months since she suffered her own tragic loss, has had her own demons to battle. 
    The meeting between the two marks the beginning of a long and nerve-wracking journey that leads them to Urari—a world parallel to ours. A world in which mirrors reflect far more than just the observer’s physical traits.
