Summary

The first three novels in the series starring a London nun with a nose for crime—now in one volume!   This compelling mystery collection includes:  The Convent   Meet Sister Veronica Angelica, a secret whodunit writer and lover of custard cream biscuits. When she discovers a dead man on the grounds of the Catholic Youth Hostel next door to her convent, Veronica can see he was brutally murdered. What she doesn’t know is that the victim had a secret he was about to confess . . .  The Disciple   When a two-month-old baby girl is left on the convent doorstep one night, wrapped up in dirty blankets and placed in an open cardboard box, Sister Veronica steps in to help solve the mystery. The one confounding clue is a tarot card left with the baby . . .   “Such a good read . . . A cosy mystery but has, like Christie’s Miss Marple books, a very dark side.” —Love Books, Read Books  The Tormented   Sister Veronica has arrived at her cousin’s mansion just in time for Christmas, and she didn’t realise so many other people had been invited. It quickly becomes clear how dysfunctional her extended family is. But events take a darker turn when her cousin’s husband collapses and dies in the kitchen . . .

    LET HER FADE is book #13 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
    
    Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
    
    Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
    
    With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
    
    But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    Inside Half Moon Bay, a sparkling California coastal town, Ester Prynn is dulled and diminished by struggles with work, money, marriage, her senile father, a troubled teenage son, and old guilt she can't assuage. When a masked gunman robs the convenience store where Ester works, he upends her fraught life and propels her toward passions buried, like singing; desires discovered, like a same-sex infatuation; and wrongs righted, like bringing the violent assailant to justice. But as the armed robber commits new crimes and continues to evade capture, the trauma from the holdup climbs, threatening Ester's newfound delights and longings and forcing her to contend with her burning regrets and what-ifs. In the reckoning between Ester and these growing, molten upsets, she's faced with enormous choices and must determine what and who can bring her to her best life.
