Sinopsis

The search for a Christmastime serial killer leads Det. Supt. Henry Christie into the crossfire of warring Lancashire crime families.   Lancashire’s Chief Constable lures Det. Superintendent Henry Christie away from his much-needed Christmas vacation with the possibility of catching a serial killer. Though he has a new fiancée to celebrate with and an ailing mother to care for, Henry can’t refuse the chance to bring a murderer to book.   In his thirty years with the Lancashire constabulary, Henry’s never dealt with a case like this. Multiple victims disappeared on Christmas Eve, only to turn up gruesomely murdered on New Year’s Day. But as he follows the leads to the likely next target—who happens to be the mentally deranged son of a Lancashire crime family—Henry finds himself stepping into a blood-soaked turf war.   “Oldham shows just how exciting a proper police investigation can be in this top-notch procedural.” —Publishers Weekly

    "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of the eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and one of the few stories in which for much of the plot Watson must act alone and try his best with Holmes left in the background.
    Holmes sends Dr. Watson to Lausanne to investigate Lady Frances Carfax's disappearance since he himself is too busy in London. Lady Frances is a lone, unwed woman denied a rich inheritance on account of her sex. She does, however, carry valuable jewels with her. It is also her habit to write to her old governess, Miss Dobney, every other week, but for the past five weeks, there has not been a word from her. She has left the Hôtel National for parts unknown. Her last two bank transactions were cheques, one to pay her hotel bill, and another for £50 to her maid, Miss Marie Devine.

Singapore suddenly faces its first serial killer in decades, and the authorities are desperate. In desperation, they turn to the one man they despise almost as much as the killer himself: Detective Inspector Stanley Low. His career is in ruins, his bipolar disorder is barely under control, and he's as angry and unrepentant as ever. But he's also the only detective capable of understanding what drives this murderer. Racing against time, Low must navigate Singapore's stark income divide, where even death discriminates between rich and poor.

    ONE LAST UNVEIL is book three in the FBI mystery series by author Sarah Sutton.A true-crime podcaster is found brutally stabbed to death in her home after walking her child to the bus stop. At first, all signs point to those closest to her. But when a friend and fellow podcaster digs into her obsession—a cold case laid to rest for fifteen years—and later turns up dead too, local police and the FBI realize that a serial killer dubbed the Silent Stalker could be striking again for the first time in years. With the FBI called in and no leads to follow, they quickly realize they need a brilliant mind to crack the case: FBI Agent Tara Mills. But Tara is reluctant at first. The case reminds her too much of her mother’s when it’s revealed that the victim’s daughter, a selective mute, lost her mother at the same age as Tara. But Tara is compelled as she realizes it is only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. As she peels back each layer, she falls deeper into the darkest depths of her mind and into the nightmares she had tried so hard to escape.  Meanwhile, Tara digs deeper into her past, obsessed with revealing the mystery woman visiting her father in prison, which leads to a shocking discovery. As she battles her own psyche and more victims are murdered, Tara realizes that the key to solving it all could be what she finds most triggering: her connection to the victim’s daughter. As she takes a path she fears to travel, deep into the depths of her mind, she unveils a truth she never expected.Book #4—ONE LAST LIE—will be available soon!
