Summary

He’s dead. Or someone really wants her to think he isn’t.​​​​​​​
 
Three weeks after Sloane’s boyfriend falls to his death during a solo hike, she’s still drowning in grief—until she gets a message from his number.
 
“I’m sorry. I love you more than you know.”
 
It sounds like Theo. It reads like Theo. But it can’t be Theo… can it?
 
As Sloane spirals down a dark rabbit hole of surveillance photos, missing records, and contradictions no one else seems to notice, a terrifying pattern emerges: the man she loved might not have been who he claimed to be. And the person texting her now—whether he’s alive, a stranger, or something else entirely—knows far too much about her life.
 
There’s only one way to find out the truth: follow the messages. But the truth isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of the nightmare.
Available since: 09/23/2025.
Print length: 80 pages.

    Despite being a rising star in the BAU unit, FBI Special Agent Hailey Rock still lives in the shadow of her older sister, who remained in their small Midwestern town to become a police sheriff, and who remains the favorite in their parents’ eyes. Hailey has not thought of her estranged family in ages, but when a killer strikes in their home county, eerily mimicking the case of their missing sister, Hailey has no choice but to return home, face her past, catch a killer—and re-open the case of her missing sister.

“A brilliant book. I couldn’t put it down and I never guessed who the murderer was!”
—Reader review for Only Murder

BESIDE YOU is book #2 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller Rylie Dark, whose bestseller SEE HER RUN (a free download) has received over 700 five star ratings and reviews.

A killer is abducting young women in an eerily familiar way. Both Hailey and her older sister vow to catch this killer, neither admitting what they both know—this case closely resembles the case of their missing younger sister, who was abducted when they were teenagers. The sisters are hell bent on finding the killer and stopping him before he strikes again. 

It’s personal this time. 

But are they walking right into a trap?

A cat-and-mouse thriller with harrowing twists and turns and filled with heart-pounding suspense, the HAILEY ROCK mystery series offers a fresh twist on the genre as it introduces two brilliant protagonists who will make you fall in love and keep you turning pages late into the night.

Books #3-#5 in the series—AFTER YOU, WATCHING YOU, and JUDGING YOU—are now also available.

    Prizewinner in New Welsh Writing Awards 2021 Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting
'Compelling... humorous and tightly plotted, with a superb sense of urban space' – Gwen Davies, adjudication, New Welsh Writing Awards 2021
A grieving young man living with OCD discovers he can witness the events of the past. While searching for his recently deceased sister's thesis, he strives to avoid the attention of its subject, a religious sect devoted to The Ripper's Welsh double, 'the Butcher of Butetown'.
Set in contemporary Cardiff, this diverse, pacey, high-concept time-warp crime novella explores themes of violence, ritual and alternative realities, while it seeks to honour the victims of serial killers and challenge the way that some have become part of the tourism industry.

    It was the 29th of October 1933, three days before Samhain, when the gateway to the Otherworld stood wide open, and the dead were honoured whilst one simultaneously had to protect oneself from evil spirits, when Inspector Wolfford appeared at Holmes and Watson's in Baker Street asking for help. The midwife Mrs Hughes was found dead in her flat. Around the corpse, five pumpkins had been placed, each carved with a grotesque face and brightly illuminated. Several inconsistencies immediately caught Holmes's eye, and thus the case presented a puzzle even for the master detective and his assistant...
