    Sylph or Satan is the fourth instalment in the crime thriller series featuring DS Taylor Nicks and DC Marcus Black. A young sylph-like woman smiles sweetly as she tilts her head to the side, her eyes meeting with those of terror. He is helpless, exposed and vulnerable, his strength taken from him, his lifeless limbs incapable of saving his own life or harming her ever again. Her eyes darken as she moves closer, tiny in stature, innocent to those watching with an unhealthy desire. She whispers in his ear, and tears begin to run down his cheek as she raises a single finger to push his head beneath the water. Taylor Nicks and Marcus Black are back crime fighting once again, the streets of Edinburgh steeped in history and now the hunting ground of the innocent. The body count rises, but Taylor's team fails to make the connection and the officers are ten steps behind in the pursuit of the most unlikely serial killer. Retribution, revenge, hatred, sadness, love, lust and violence in abundance, this book will have you looking over your shoulder everywhere you go. Perhaps you won't look at others with such naivety in future... not everyone is as they seem.  Another sinister, dark and alarming story of a young woman whose world is turned upside down through no fault of her own and takes out her hate-filled revenge on anyone who crosses her path.

    STREAMING SOON ON PARAMOUNT+ AS "THE REVENGE CLUB"!  
     
    Six divorcees seek revenge on their deceitful spouses, but someone starts taking it much too far... 
    Emily had the perfect life - the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect husband - before she was blindsided and betrayed and lost it all. Now she's sitting in a divorce counselling group wondering how she'll ever feel okay again. What she wants is her old life back, and these group sessions seem to be the only way she'll be able to move on - past the jealousy, the hurt, and the daydreams of getting revenge. 
     
    And it seems everyone in the group is in the same boat: jilted by an ex-partner and struggling to cope. So over post-therapy drinks, the six divorcées come up with the brilliant idea to get a little payback of their own - Strangers-on-a-Train style, with each getting even on another's behalf. Nothing serious - just enough to disrupt their former partner's picture-perfect lives. 
     
    Emily is hesitant at first, but the more her old life spins away from her, the less she worries about her morals - plus, they agreed no one would get hurt. 
     
    But just when the group think they've pulled off the perfect petty crimes, one of the exes is found dead... and then another... and another... 
     
    With DI Rosa Hawkes on their case and the plan spiralling out of control, Emily doesn't know who she can trust, and if divorce taught her anything, it's that you can't trust anyone, even the people you love. Especially the people you love. Let alone perfect strangers like these.
