Sinopsis

Adam Perdue finds people no one really wants found, in places nobody else wants to look. When Michele Rathborn vanishes from the streets of Orman, her brothers hire him so they can challenge the will giving her control of the family business. Adam discovers that she’s not the only homeless person who has disappeared. For the police, street people going missing is more of a solution than a problem. For Adam, it’s a mission.
 
More disappearances, a murder, and a cache of stolen antiquities complicate Adam’s search for the heiress and leave him with more clients than leads. The few clues he can divine from the entrails of Orman’s underbelly all lead to one place: New Life Ministries, an invitation-only homeless shelter with a too-good-to-be-true success rate for rehabilitating its clients.
 
No one at the shelter is who they seem, especially not Jan Shelley, the pastor without a past. Adam’s investigation disrupts her plans, which include much more than reclaiming lost souls. When she frames him for murder, Adam must find a way through the riddles and contradictions that underpin New Life Ministries to avoid winding up in a cell – or on a slab.

Secrets She Kept

H.K. Christie

A ritualistic murder. Multiple suspects. Can the cold case detectives find the truth before the killers strike again?
Ten years earlier, two teenage girls were found murdered by what appeared to be a satanic sacrifice. The case had dominated the news headlines for months before the original investigators failed to arrest the perpetrators of the crime - despite multiple suspects. Without solid evidence to prosecute, and even with the near-heroic efforts of the original detectives, the homicide investigation turned cold. For years, the families of the two victims fought to keep the young women’s memory alive and to get the attention of law enforcement to not give up on finding those responsible.
In an election year, and with a stellar record for the CoCo County Sheriff’s Department Cold Case Squad, the Sheriff hands cold case investigators Martina Monroe and Detective Hirsch the most notorious decade-old murder case - named by the press, ‘The Twin Satan Murders.’ Unlike most of their previous cold cases, The Twin Satan Murders were thoroughly investigated by previous detectives. Undeterred by the lack of evidence and answers from the original investigation, Martina and Hirsch investigate the murders as if it were day one.
Knocking on doors, Martina and Hirsch are surprised by the lack of cooperation from the original witnesses. With pushback from the community, the two investigators are forced to dive into the world of the occult. What the two detectives find is more disturbing than any case they’ve worked on before. Soon, Martina and Detective Hirsch find that some powerful people will go to all lengths to keep the truth buried.
Will Martina and Detective Hirsch find the actual killers before they become victims themselves?
Secrets She Kept is the fifth installment of the Martina Monroe crime thriller series.
