Sinossi

Tokyo, 1990. Disgraced London Met detective Pete Bond has reinvented himself as an English teacher, but his embarrassing secret is nothing compared to the dark event in Suzi Sloane's earlier life.
 
A promiscuous Londoner, Suzi supplements her day job by topless dancing in a Shinjuku Kabukicho hostess bar. She's considering an offer from Shigeru, a customer at Club O. Meanwhile, Pete crosses paths with Dieter, a drug-dealing German, who appears to be involved in more than drugs and seemingly has a connection with Shigeru.
 
Before he can investigate Dieter, Pete becomes infatuated with Suzi in Roppongi, the infamous central Tokyo expat bar area. As a web of crime and exploitation in the Tokyo underworld begins to unravel, they are drawn into a deadly series of events.
 
The first book in the Tokyo Noir series, Nick John's NEON IDENTITY is a hard-hitting crime novel set against the backdrops of Tokyo's Kabukicho and Roppongi.

    FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage has crossed the country and transferred to her dream job with the BAU at Quantico. With a new job, a new house, and her husband by her side, Taylor is ready to put the darkness of her past behind her: a sister who vanished when she was a teenager.
    
    Taylor is ready for a fresh start. But when a tarot reader on the boardwalk offers an uncannily specific prediction about her next case, Taylor, ready to brush it off, is haunted by it—and can’t help noticing that it was accurate.
    
    In DON’T LOOK (Book #1), bodies of young men are turning up, dressed unusually in gowns and posed like dolls. When a tarot reader offers FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage a clue to finding the diabolical serial killer, Taylor has no choice but to open her mind and follow the trail. What she encounters, though, is far more harrowing than anything she expected—and may just change everything she thought she knew. But time is running out, and Taylor will have to use every tool at her disposal to save the next victim, whether she believes in it or not. Might the tarot reader hold the key? Or is she leading Taylor down a fatal dead end?
    
    In DON’T BREATHE (Book #2), victims of a new serial killer are turning up dead, chess pieces mysteriously left on their bodies. Brilliant FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage is determined to crack this one on her own, but when she hits a dead end, she must turn to the tarot reader for a clue—one that may hold the key, or may lead her right into a trap. Taylor, in the midst of the case of her life, must also battle demons from her past: dark secrets from Taylor’s past are threatening to bubble up—and possibly to end her marriage. Can she hold it together long enough to crack the case? Or might she be the next victim? 
    
    In DON’T RUN (Book #3), a new serial killer haunts the city, leaving his victims’ bodies with an eerie signature: a single orchid. Brilliant FBI Special Agent and BAU specialist Taylor Sage, battling her own demons, tries to ignore the tarot reader’s riddles. But when she has no choice but to explore them, she may just wish she hadn’t.  With the FBI, police and local horticulturalists stumped, it’s up to Taylor to connect the dots. But as Taylor’s marriage crumbles around her and she struggles to connect with her new partner, she’s under more pressure than ever to find this killer—before he finds her first. Could the tarot reader’s clue provide a spark of inspiration? Or will this case be Taylor’s last?
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the TAYLOR SAGE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.
    
    Books #4-#6 in the series—DON’T FLINCH, DON’T REMEMBER, and DON’T TELL—are now also available.

    “I absolutely loved reading this, edge of your seat gripping thriller . . . totally captivated me from beginning to end . . . fantastic.” —Goodreads reviewer, five starsIn England’s East Midlands, a harried police detective juggles multiple cases that soon reveal the depths of human depravity . . . DI Tim Yates has been following up for months on reports of missing farm machinery—with no success—when a local farmer and philanthropist is physically assaulted. Could this be a lead? If so, it doesn’t take Yates very far, since the victim, Jack Fovargue, refuses to accept any help. Meanwhile, there’s a more urgent case to attend to—a decapitated body has been found in the Fossdyke Canal. This may be the first clue that finally connects a series of recent disappearances: a paper girl out on her rounds; a prostitute abducted off the street; an immigrant woman who vanished after stepping off a bus. After frogmen find two more corpses in the canal, and Yates’s researcher wife notes a similarity to a long-ago case someone is already in prison for, the situation starts becoming as murky as the canal itself . . .

    Murderpalooza, the premier thriller writers conference, is meant to be an exciting celebration of the genre and its preeminent writers. But when bestselling author and industry favorite Kristin Bailey is found dead in her hotel room, four rival authors—a midlister, an egomaniac, a has-been, and a newbie—also get targeted by an anonymous social media account and wonder if they're next. 
     
     
     
    First, they find themselves bonding to try to find out who's behind it. As the account taunts them, it slowly reveals secrets that each of them have connected to Kristin—secrets that make them a suspect in each other's eyes. Soon, they are turning on each other and silently accusing each as a killer.

    SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION 
    When an elderly man bursts into flame at an assisted living center on Christmas Eve -- and is consumed in under a minute -- no one can explain what started the fire, much less whether it was an accident... or murder. There was nothing combustible in the room with him, nor anything that might have caused a spark. Nothing but a mild-mannered old man, looking forward to spending the holiday with his grandchildren on the morrow. If not for the unusual nature of his death, the police would have no reason to investigate. 
    But investigate they must... and the lead detective on the case will soon discover more than he bargained for, the facts he unearths painting a very different picture of the victim than his family would like. Meanwhile, the detective's own estranged father, recently released from prison, has come to visit for an indefinite period -- complicating life for his son, and forcing him to confront the ethical implications of the secrets he himself continues to harbor. 
    Meet Gray Gaynes: a brilliant investigator, but also a man deeply wounded by his own personal tragedy... A man willing to go to great lengths to hide the truth of the irrevocable changes he is undergoing.
