  It's 2016 and Britain is in turmoil. The country is split between those who want to vote to leave Europe and those who want to stay put. It's causing panic in WSB, England's foremost anti-terrorism unit, but Captain Gibson is at his wit's end. His finest agents have been sent over to Europe to help local police cope with the influx of British football fans following their favourite teams in the football World Cup. He's been left with a skeleton crew, including the bare bones that is Deputy Director Caulfield. Gibson hates to take him out from behind his comfortable desk, but someone has to meet the Trade Delegation from China and corral them on trips around Salford and Manchester. Caulfield isn't just bad at the job, he keeps losing them. One by one, the Chinese guys are dying. Now, that's carelessness, indeed. Sure, he has Terry the technician to assist him, but the young man is fine with computers, hopeless with real people. They both miss Mickey, but the big man is in tatters himself. His long-time love, Melia, is in hospital, and he is to be found at her bedside. Doesn't he realise the boys need him? Caulfield can't cope, but what is really galling is that he has been given the job only because of a perceived level of specialised knowledge he has. He served in the Hong Kong police force once and, while he was there, he met the Reverend Umh. Now, that religious gentleman is part of the visiting delegation, and Caulfield is expected to liaise with him. But he can't. The Reverend won't speak. He's dumb! Why, thinks the concerned Mr Caulfield, it's almost as if he isn't the same man at all, not the one he used to know. Could it be true? Is it possible that the man is a fake? And a murderer?

  Los Angeles, 1916: Photographer Bill Ogden has opened a portrait studio in the seedy noir world of early Hollywood, where he is joined by his granddaughter, Flavia—a woman in need of a fresh start after bludgeoning her drunken, abusive husband to death in Wichita. Though his business is mainly legit, Bill finds himself brushing up against the “blue movie” porn industry growing in the shadows of the motion picture mainstream. 
   
  When a series of grisly murders take place across the city, Bill and his capable granddaughter are pulled into events as tricky and tangled as anything this side of The Big Sleep. We meet dreamers, opportunists, washed-up former stars and starry-eyed newcomers, a cast of unforgettable characters living on the margins looking to make a quick buck, launch a career, or just keep their family together.  
   
  The Devil Raises His Own is at once a stripped-down noir thriller and a panoramic look at Los Angeles at the beginning of motion pictures—a Boogie Nights set in the era of D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin from one of the best crime novelists working today.

  Maggie Finch has the perfect life. A successful architect, a loving husband, and a beautiful home overlooking the Pacific. She also has a secret. When a man from her past is found dead, Maggie’s meticulously constructed world begins to fracture. The police have questions, but her alibi is airtight, a flawless narrative of a quiet evening at home.
   
  
   
  Yet someone knows it’s a lie. Anonymous notes arrive, detailing moments Maggie is certain no one saw. Security footage she deleted reappears, subtly altered. The investigation tightens around her, not for the murder, but for a perjury she never committed. Her husband’s unwavering support starts to feel like surveillance, and her closest friend seems to be hiding a secret of her own.
   
  
   
  As the net closes, Maggie realizes the trap was not set by the police. Her alibi was a gift from a phantom, a perfect story designed to bury her. To survive, she must dismantle the life she built and uncover who orchestrated her flawless defense. The truth is a reflection in a broken mirror, and every piece she picks up cuts deeper.
   
  
   
  The final detail awaits, a single flaw in an otherwise perfect frame. To see it, Maggie must question every memory, every loyalty, and every reflection in the glass of her pristine home. Someone has been watching, learning, and waiting. Now, they are ready to finish what they started.

  From the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of A Christmas Murder, Mary Grand 
  The Island - where everyone knows everyone, and secrets are impossible to keep... 
  ‘Be careful, you don’t know them as well as you think. Remember - anyone can kill.’ 
  Juliet has returned to the Isle of Wight from years abroad to visit her sick father and to be reunited with her three sisters – Cassie, a professional musician who seems to have lost her way in life, Mira, who is profoundly deaf, is married to the local vicar but their relationship is falling apart, and Rosalind, glamorous and charming but now deeply unhappy and secretive about her life. 
  As Juliet’s father lies dying, he issues her with a warning. There is a killer on the loose, and they may be closer than she can ever imagine. He anxiously tells Juliet that he confided a family secret in son-in-law Rhys, and now regrets ever saying a word. 
  Days later, as the clock strikes one in the morning, a man comes out of Rhys’s church, walks along the path and is run down by a car driven by an unidentified person. When the finger of suspicion points to Juliet, she realises the only way to clear her name is to uncover the secrets her family has been keeping from her for years. But with a killer on the loose, danger is getting closer all the time…
