Summary

How would you cope if your husband disappeared? One woman discovers just that in this bestselling domestic thriller debut. Kate and Pete have been the perfect couple ever since they were teenagers. Fifteen years later they have two young daughters, live in a beautiful London townhouse, and seem like they have it all. But one day, Pete leaves for work and never comes home. In a note Kate discovers, he confesses that he’s been unhappy for a long time and that he’s met someone else. Distraught, Kate later learns that he has left everything, including his mobile phone, behind and sets out to learn the truth about her husband’s disappearance. But is she prepared for what she will learn? When nothing is as it seems, who can you trust?“There is a lot to absorb and I soaked it all up like a sponge, round each twist and turn finding myself completely engrossed in the lives of this couple, both together and apart. This is beautifully and cleverly created, different to any other book I’ve read; expertly written—especially for a debut—I was hooked from the first word right up until the very last and it’s one of those novels which has played at the back of my mind ever since.” —Grace J Reviewerlady

    **FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR ANDREW WATTS AND DALE M. NELSON**
 
In a world where artificial intelligence offers unlimited power, government spies and tech giants fight a ruthless battle to come out on top.
 
When an undercover Mossad agent is killed on a private Caribbean island, the death sets off alarm bells in Washington, Tel Aviv, and Moscow. The island is owned by Guy Hawkinson, the controversial CEO of Hawk Enterprises, and member of one of America’s most powerful family dynasties.
 
Within hours of the agent’s death, multiple agencies set new plans in motion.
 
Israeli Intelligence Officer Ava Klein is ordered to Washington, D.C. Tasked with salvaging their operation, she’ll need to infiltrate the Hawkinson’s inner circle.
 
To beat Mossad to the punch, CIA officer Colt McShane must steer clear of Ava—a former love interest—and recruit a fresh face with no former ties to the intelligence community: a young female veteran who is just finishing up a masters degree in machine learning.
 
And a Russian SVR chief has agreed to provide counterintelligence support for the Hawkinsons—at a price.
 
Each side is playing the world’s most dangerous game of espionage, attempting to win the ultimate technological victory. But with foreign agents and Hawkinson private security violently eliminating threats, any false move will be deadly.

Well, that had been the plan. And then he forced his way into JB’s Cuts and it was too late, the mistake had been made and the two men were locked in the personal hell of Jack Baddock, with no way out.

    Eighteen months after Hillary suffered a personal tragedy, she is throwing herself into her work to try to get over it. 
 
Former soldier Gareth Proctor joins her team and finds himself quickly growing to enjoy his new environment. 
 
The first cold case he works on is the murder of Andrew Feeley. 
 
In 2012, this twenty-one-year-old was found dead in the woods near his home, killed by a single stab wound to the chest from his own knife. 
 
Andrew was extremely unpopular. He was a drug dealer, pimp and bully. His stepdad was one of the main suspects, as they hated each other and often came to blows. Other suspects include Toby Truman and his mother Debbie. Andrew was responsible for getting Toby hooked on drugs. 
 
Given Andrew’s criminal background, his murder is thought to be drug-related. 
 
But Hillary’s not buying it — she knows it’s personal. And a search of the Feeleys’ garden turns up some chilling evidence.
