Summary

Detective Inspector Stanley Low is having a bad day. His bipolar disorder is sabotaging yet another therapy session when two bodies are discovered at Marina Bay Sins, Singapore's most prestigious hotel: a murdered prostitute and a dead expatriate. Thrown back into the sordid underworld he desperately tried to escape, Low goes undercover in a city that refuses to acknowledge its dark side. Behind the gleaming facade of Asia's cleanest metropolis lies a corrupt world of gambling addiction, crime syndicates, international money laundering, immoral celebrities, and politicians on the take.  Belligerent, bipolar, and brilliant, Low is a Chinese-Singaporean detective educated in London, with a foot in both cities and a mission to eradicate violent crime wherever he finds it. As he closes in on the truth behind the Marina Bay murders, he'll force Singapore to confront the uncomfortable questions it's been avoiding for far too long.  Marina Bay Sins may be the sparkling embodiment of economic prosperity, but Low is about to expose the rot beneath the surface.

    The future isn’t real. The past isn’t real, either. Only the present is, solid and full, flying at our faces, our bodies, our hearts and souls at breakneck speed as we work to take it all in. As we work to protect others. And, finally - ourselves. We’ve started to break the bonds of Stateless, a system as rotten as the one it seeks to destroy. But systems are organisms with one brutal goal: to survive, whatever it takes. Kina has to do the unfathomable to save a different system, one she created out of empathy and love for children we rescued from the only home they know. She’ll use her mind, her body, her spirit — and her ultimate weapons: love, and — Me. Fateless is the final book in USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine's newest trilogy.

    A haunting gothic thriller about legacy, grief, and the haunted echoes of family secrets. 
    Some inheritances should be left to the dead. 
    Blair Graves doesn’t believe in ghosts—she grew up watching her father chase them for a living. His disappearance years ago was just one more reason to write off the supernatural as nonsense. 
    After selling her family’s estate to cover her brother’s gambling debts, Blair sinks what’s left of her savings into a crumbling mansion known as Solomon House, hoping the project will fill the void left by loss and regret. But as strange sounds echo through its halls and flickers of movement appear in dark corners, Blair begins to question everything she thought she knew about her father, the Solomons who built the house, and herself. 
    When an online paranormal investigator named Cash arrives, eager to document the haunting, the lines between skepticism and belief blur—and the ghosts of Solomon House begin to reveal the truth about what happened there, and what still lingers within. 
    Richly atmospheric and emotionally charged, The Haunting of Solomon House is a gothic psychological thriller about family secrets, grief, and the stories that refuse to die—perfect for fans of Simone St. James, Jennifer McMahon, and Darcy Coates.
