  FROM THE USA TODAY BESTSELLING-AUTHOR OF LIKE, FOLLOW, KILL AND WITHOUT A TRACE! 
  A night she won’t forget… 
     
  When single mum Ivy wakes up to a complete stranger lying next to her, she knows her one-night stand hook-ups have to stop. The encounters mean nothing to Ivy, but for just a short time, they make her forget her own terrible life.  
  A murder she can’t remember 
  But then Ivy discovers the stranger in her bed has been stabbed to death, and she is covered in his blood…except Ivy has no recollection of bringing this man home. Could she have killed him? 
  As she tries to piece together what happened last night, Ivy’s own past returns to haunt her. And secrets can’t stay hidden forever… 
  Lynch's narrative is a masterclass in suspense and psychological intrigue. The domestic setting serves as a stark contrast to the chilling mystery that unfolds, as Ivy's life becomes a thrilling detective story that will keep readers guessing until the very end. 
  For fans of Claire Mcgowan (Blood Tide), Jane E. James (Looking For Lucy), Sue Watson (The Empty Nest), Kate Gray (The Honeymoon), and Nikki Smith (The Guests).

  “Bristling with intelligent suspense . . . this superb piece of period fiction will appeal to both Civil War buffs and fans of historical mysteries.” —Booklist   Union Major Abel Jones, Welsh immigrant and veteran of Britain’s distant wars, survives Shiloh’s slaughter only to face the riddle of a different kind of massacre. Not far from the cries and smoke of combat, murdered slaves hang at a crossroads. Their blood may be on Northern as well as Southern hands, with devastating political repercussions. In a country shocked by casualty lists and unready for emancipation, only one man insists on justice—a plain-speaking officer with a Welsh lilt, a limp, and his own troubled conscience. The chain of death soon proves as brutal and consuming as the war itself, dragging Major Jones into a dark world of midnight savagery, terrible secrets, and sudden combat, as desperate men and women struggle to survive the fury of a divided nation. Suspenseful, swift-paced, surprisingly humorous, and populated with unforgettable characters, Call Each River Jordan offers a fresh and haunting vision of a past still with us today.  “An exceptionally fine historical novel. Owen Parry deserves to be ranked with the best Civil War novelists.” —The Flint Journal  “Parry’s knowledge of the era is nicely on display here: his scenes of Corinth, Mississippi, and its sheltered wounded are vibrant, with a haunting eye for detail . . . well informed and evocatively written.” —Kirkus Reviews  “A gripping story . . . astounding battle scenes . . . this novel stands out.” —Publishers Weekly

  When a Spanish priest learns of a skeptical organization’s PR stunt to replicate the Shroud of Turin, Graham Eliot becomes part of his plan to counteract the bad publicity with a new revelation about the Shroud’s authenticity. And the revelation relies on Graham secretly photographing the Shroud as well as the Sudarium of Oviedo—a relic believed to be a cloth wrapped around the head of Jesus as he died on the cross. 
  On the day Graham is to begin, the project is canceled without explanation, and a video of him calling the Shroud a fake and accusing the church of hiding something appears online. To defend his reputation, Graham must rely on the help of his eccentric translator as well as the skeptic who posted the video. But the alliance is shattered when a death occurs during the skeptic’s annual convention in America—and Graham’s graduate student is the one suspected of the murder.
