    How far would you go to change your life? 
    In the small American town of Hope, teenager Lucas Caldwell dreams of escaping his life. His mother, Liss, is struggling with addiction, and his sickly little brother, Reuben, would never survive her without him. 
     
    His grandfather, Lucky, is dying in a care facility, his mind fading. But in a final moment of clarity, he lets slip to Lucas that he is in possession of a painting worth millions, stolen from a transport convoy in a daring heist five decades ago. As the disbelief fades, a thin hope begins to grow. 
     
    But secrets as big as this rarely stay hidden for long, and as the corruption of money spreads, so does the threat of violence and bloodshed. And with hungry wolves circling the payday to end all paydays, the fallout could tear the town, and Lucas’s family, apart. 
     
    Lucas would do anything to protect the people he loves. But at what cost? 
     
    A gut-wrenching, utterly compelling small-town crime thriller, laying bare the corrosive nature of greed and the trials and dangers of those living on the fringes of society.

    A bundle of books #1 (ONLY MURDER), #2 (ONLY RAGE), and #3 (ONLY HIS) in Rylie Dark’s Sadie Price FBI Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.Special Agent Sadie Price, a 29-year-old rising star in the FBI’s BAU unit, stuns her colleagues by requesting reassignment to the FBI’s remote Alaskan field office. Back in her home state, a place she vowed she would never return, Sadie, running from a secret in her recent past and back into her old one, finds herself facing her demons—including her sister’s unsolved murder—while assigned to hunt down a new serial killer.In ONLY MURDER (Book #1), two women are found dead in a remote area of Northern Alaska, near Sadie’s hometown. Floating under the ice, their bodies are preserved much the same way Sadie’s own murdered sister was found—a memory that still plagues her. The case strikes way too close to home, blurring Sadie’s judgment, stirring up memories of her estranged father and murdered sister, memories she’s not ready to grapple with. This part of Alaska—icy, rough, remote, populated by outcasts—proves impenetrable even for a seasoned FBI agent like Sadie. The killer, matching his landscape, is more sinister and smart than anyone Sadie has encountered. Amidst the perplexing clues, Sadie remains sure of only one thing: he will strike again. Against her wishes, Sadie must team up with Sheriff Logan Cooper—single, begrudging, and with a dark past of his own. Together, they must enter the canals of this killer’s twisted mind and seek help from the locals, however hostile, to solve the pattern of these murders before another girl turns up dead. With a major storm coming, can Sadie solve the murders before it’s too late? Or will she end up as the next body floating under the ice?In ONLY RAGE (Book #2), FBI Special Agent Sadie Price has barely recovered from her last case when she is assigned to an urgent, new one: a gruesome discovery has revealed women are turning up dead, their bodies found in the cargo holds of fishing boats, half-eaten by crabs. Sadie, stuck for the winter and here to stay, must form a tenuous alliance with Sheriff Logan Cooper and the local bar owner if she is to penetrate the icy wall of outcast locals. Exploring the harbor and the crusty workers who inhabit it, Sadie needs answers to this seemingly unsolvable string of murders—and to the mysteries of her own past. Suspects abound in the remote and unforgiving landscape. But this is no garden variety killer, and hunting him down may end up a bridge too far even for a brilliant agent like Sadie. In a deadly game of cat and mouse, can Sadie prove herself a match for this killer? Or will he prove to be her undoing?In ONLY HIS (Book #3), when a young woman is found mauled by a bear—the second case in one week—the authorities chalk it up to a desperate animal, driven by hunger to attack. Nature, as far as the locals are concerned, can be as cruel a killer as any murderer. But Sadie isn’t convinced. She suspects a serial killer, and when she realizes both victims were young women living alone in cabins, she takes it upon herself to visit a string of isolated, desolate cabins in the wilderness, including one with particular significance—her father’s. When a third woman is found, Sadie knows she is the only thing standing between this diabolical killer and his innocent, next victim. But in the forbidding wilderness, in the thick of winter, can Sadie reach the woman before it’s too late? And can she stop this killer all while unearthing the ghosts of her own family’s past?An action-packed page-turner, the SADIE PRICE series is a riveting crime thriller, jammed with suspense, surprises and twists and turns that you won’t see coming. It will have you fall in love with a brilliant and scarred new character, while challenging you, amidst a barren lands

    The flame has a voice. And it's calling for blood.
    
    Eleven-year-old Leo knows that fire is alive. He watched it take his mother, and now, he watches it follow him. In the shadows of his new home in Visby, the smell of turpentine and the crackle of burning plastic become his only companions. To Leo, the flames aren't just destruction-they are a face trying to whisper a secret about the dead children in his mother's old photographs.
    
    As a series of suspicious fires begins to consume the neighborhood, Detective Inspector Maria Wern is tasked with finding the link between a child's trauma and a political assassination. The latest victim-the wife of a prominent politician-suggests a motive of harassment and power. But the clues point toward a tighter, more intimate circle: a group of friends who have been inseparable since high school.
    
    The investigation takes a devastating turn when the evidence leads Maria to the one man she never wanted to suspect: Björn, the brave firefighter she has fallen deeply in love with. Maria is forced into a dance on glowing embers, caught between her loyalty to the love of her life, and her duty to stop a killer.
    
    In this haunting fourteenth installment of the Maria Wern series, international bestseller Anna Jansson explores the dark side of greed and the terrifying ways people weaponize vulnerability. On Gotland, the fire is spreading-and this time, Maria may be the one who gets burned.
