Beschreibung

As St Ives moves into the summer season, Chief Inspector Louis Peppiatt is handed the coldest of cold cases - a local farmer's disappearance many years ago. Merrin McKenzie, who crossed Peppiatt's path in a case the winter before, is related to the troubled family and among his first ports of call. The question is, who has something to hide decades later?


While searching for the thread that will reveal the mystery of the missing man, what Peppiatt and Merrin encounter has the power to shock. And in unearthing family secrets and emotional betrayals, the inner workings of the seemingly peaceful Cornish town are shockingly exposed.

    Preorder the BRAND NEW gripping thriller from M. A. Hunter 
    If walls could talk... 
    Looking after and tending to the needs of my tenants is what gives me purpose. Every day I go out of my way to watch over them and keep them safe. They're more than just paying guests, they're my neighbours, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure they're happy. 
    But when one of them is found dead in their apartment, everything I thought I knew is thrown into chaos. I always thought that danger only lived in the outside world, it’s why I’ve not stepped foot outside this building for 5 years. But I’m quickly realising that there is more to fear inside these walls. 
    When I inherited this building from my dad I had no idea about its sordid history. But as far as I'm concerned, no good comes from digging up the past. But with the police asking probing questions - about them, about me - and with my tenants holding secret meetings, I must uncover the truth before anyone else comes to harm, even if it means risking everything I've carefully built.

    Zoe thought all the questions surrounding her ex’s mysterious past had been answered. She couldn’t have been more wrong. 
      
    Free-spirited Zoe lives an unconventional life. She tried the nine-to-five office routine, but it was like the death of a thousand cuts—paper cuts, that is. She vowed to make a living outside a cubicle. Now she’s a “Jill of All Trades,” taking on freelance copy-editing, property management, and even dog walking gigs. Sure, it’s a little insecure, but Zoe isn’t exactly what you’d call cautious. 
    Normally, she loves surprises and the unknown, except when it comes in the form of mysterious packages, visits from the FBI, and thugs showing up on her jogging route. Zoe isn’t sure who she’s more afraid of, the FBI or the thugs, so she makes a snap decision and skips town to follow the clues in the package, which takes her to London, where she suspects she’ll find her ex, Jack. 
    The authorities think he’s dead, but Zoe doesn’t agree. Can she find her elusive ex? And what about her new tenet with the shy smile and sexy stubble? Why does he keep popping up in her life? Zoe will have to use her rather eccentric skill set to answer those questions, all the while dodging someone who wants to make this trip abroad her last.

    Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it’s certainly not short on murders . . . Norman may seem a bit old-fashioned, but he’s always willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits. 
     
    Please note this audiobook was previously published as A Body in the Lane. 
     
    On a cold, late evening in January, Llangwelli Police receive a mysterious 999 call. No-one speaks, and the only sound before the line goes dead is ragged breathing. 
     
    The call is traced to Dragon Barn Lane, a narrow, pitch-black stretch of road that’s rarely used. Detective Judy Lane is the only officer on hand, and knows she shouldn’t go alone, but what if someone is seriously hurt? 
     
    Detective Norman receives a call from Judy at the scene, requesting backup. He races over, only to find a dead man in leathers sitting against a tree, and the young detective unconscious nearby. 
     
    If the biker is dead, who attacked Judy? And who made the 999 call? 
     
    Next morning Detective Norman’s team find the body of a young woman by a ditch near the scene of the incident. 
     
    Llangwelli doesn’t normally see serious crime, but with two dead bodies, something — or someone — very nasty has visited this quiet little harbour town. 
     
    It’s up to Detective Norman to uncover the truth — before any more of his young team get hurt. 
     
    This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
        Readers embark on a heart-pounding journey that weaves together themes of survival, justice, and the unwavering resilience of the human spirit. This gripping narrative centers around Commander Robert Brown, a highly esteemed African-American Navy SEAL, who makes the momentous decision to retire from his illustrious career and reconnect with his beloved Uncle Pete in Jackson, Mississippi. However, fate has a different plan in store for him, thrusting him into a spine-tingling fight for survival against an evil group of Ku Klux Klan members who hunt black men for sport. 
         As the story unfolds, readers are simultaneously immersed in two parallel narratives. Special Agent Smith, Uncle Pete's former partner, joins forces with Uncle Pete to locate his missing nephew, newly retired Navy SEAL Commander Robert Brown. Both men unravel and expose the sinister workings of this malevolent group within the seemingly idyllic town of Rolling Hills, Mississippi. Meanwhile, Commander Brown, finding himself hunted by members of the Klan in the remote forests of Rolling Hills, must draw upon his exceptional tactical prowess, combat skills, and survival expertise to turn the tables on his pursuers. 
         What follows is an exhilarating game of cat and mouse, as Commander Brown cunningly uses his training and instincts to transform the unsuspecting racists into unwitting prey. Armed with the knowledge of their twisted game and fueled by his own unyielding determination, this decorated war hero becomes a force to be reckoned with. In a relentless pursuit of justice and vengeance, Commander Brown systematically eliminates his opposition, one by one, in a series of thrilling and gruesome confrontations.
