When covert ops director John Darque receives a mysterious package from a former adversary, he suspects the worst, but the box contains items more dangerous than even he could have imagined ... they indicate that the President-Elect of the United States, Thomas Jefferson Davis, is a mole whose rise to power has been carefully nurtured for more than 30 years as part of a Russian plot to overthrow the US government. Darque's organization must first determine if Davis is a threat to the US, and, if so, are others also involved in the plan. The greatest challenge, however, still lies ahead: once a conspiracy is uncovered, Darque must formulate a scheme to thwart the Russian coup, but in a way that costs no suspicion on Davis in order to protect the American people. If the conspiracy evolves undeterred. World War Ill is imminent. Eliminating the threat will require all of Darque's ingenuity and expertise to prevent the overthrow of America from within.

    Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . . 
     
    A body falls from the sky — landing in the woods by sleepy little Tinton. 
     
    Detective Dave Slater is halfway to the pub when he gets the call. He’s needed out at Haunted Copse, where a dogwalker just stumbled on something terrible. A body among the trees. It looks like the victim fell to her death. Almost like she dropped out of a plane. 
     
    And that’s not all. Amid all the commotion, the dog also dug up a bone. A human bone. Forensics then turn up two more bodies at the same scene. 
     
    So now Slater and Norman don’t just have one murder on their hands. They’ve got three. 
     
    One body’s unfortunate. Two’s a bit of a coincidence. But three—? 
     
    There’s surely a punchline in there somewhere. If Slater and Norman weren’t so busy chasing a killer. 
     
    Can they catch the culprit before the body count becomes sky-high? 
     
    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.

    I gasp out loud as I step through the door of the beautiful country hotel. My hands fly to my mouth in shock as I see the room is filled with my friends and family, my grown-up daughters and grandchildren at the center, gathered to celebrate my special birthday. 
     
     
     
    Everyone raises their glasses to toast me. I should be enjoying the moment but I'm on edge and I can't relax. Who organized this surprise party? How did they know I was going to be here? 
     
     
     
    Because I didn't come back to Burcott House to drink champagne and dance. Ten years ago, someone was murdered at this hotel. Tonight, after years of heartache, I planned to bury the past once and for all. 
     
     
     
    I look around the crowd of smiling people and my heart thuds as I see the frown on my eldest daughter's face and the way my youngest daughter is smiling widely but her eyes are puffy, like she's been crying. I think about the one person who should be here who isn't . . . 
     
     
     
    My family's secrets and lies swirl around my mind. Can I trust anyone in this room? Can I even trust my own daughters? 
     
     
     
    I was going to finish off what happened all those years ago but did someone else have the same idea? And will I survive my own birthday party?
