Summary

Description:
Detective Karen Mills arrives at Hospital to investigate an impossible murder: a comatose patient found hanged on an IV stand, and the head nurse dead beside him. Every suspect has motive and opportunity—the married department director Dr. Marcus Reed having an affair with the victim, the comatose man's son desperate for insurance money, the rival nurse hungry for promotion. As Karen peels back the layers of this complex case, she uncovers a nightmare of sexual assault, coercion, family betrayal, and psychological torture that reveals a far darker truth. In a stunning twist, the case becomes less about solving a murder and more about understanding the desperate human breaking point. This gripping thriller explores how society's silence and indifference can transform a compassionate healer into a killer—and ultimately, into a martyr seeking redemption through tragedy.

    The BRAND NEW action-packed, epic historical adventure from Michael Jecks 
    Once they'd had enough of war... Now they've had enough of peace 
    1359, Northern France. With the ink still drying on the Treaty of Bretigny, an agreement most believed to be nothing more than a stalemate between King Edward III of England and John II of France, the country is left riddled with both English and French armies – exhausted, adrift and directionless. 
    An atmosphere ripe for rebellion. 
    Berenger Fripper returns to the only life he truly understands, among the troops of Hawkwood’s company. But danger and treachery lurk around every abandoned French farm or village. When the company comes across the promise of riches hidden in a monastery, the motley crew finally feel as though their luck is changing… 
    But as quickly as they find the treasure, quicker still it’s stolen from under their noses, and as they seek revenge on the unknown thief, they find themselves swept up in the might - and the politics - of the Great Company… Will any of them get out alive?

    Hold on to your hats for another crazy ride in the Belchester Chronicles!! 
    A Lady Amanda Golightly Murder Mystery from the author of The Falconer Files - the second in the series featuring an outrageously ill-assorted pair of amateur sleuths. A delightful outpouring of English upper class eccentricities with the odd murder thrown in. 
    Cringe with embarrassment, as Lady Amanda Golightly acts like a bad-tempered five-year-old in the face of a family crisis. Cheer her on, as she and her live-in friend at Belchester Towers, Hugo Cholmondley-Crichton Crump, plan a new business venture for the old place. Join them for Christmas, then wish them luck as they embark on a trial run of their new enterprise. 
    Then gasp at Lady Amanda's reaction (delight!) at the discovery of the body of a dead guest, found slumped on the library table, murdered FIVE TIMES!  
    Lady Amanda and Hugo are off again, on one of their madcap investigations determined to save the reputations of their batty friends, and beat the morose Inspector Moody to the unmasking of the culprit - or should that be culprits? - while her butler, Beauchamp, calmly serves cocktails (recipes at end of book!).
