    One serial killer plus a rogue cop equals a recipe for disaster… 
    Following recent events, Detective Liv DeMarco finds herself working undercover. But this time, her partner, Brad Fennel, isn’t backing her plays. He’s been reassigned. Whether that’s temporary or permanent is anyone’s guess, but Liv doesn’t like it. There’s no one she trusts more than Brad, and she needs him to watch her back as she hunts a serial killer who’s murdering escorts. 
    In the midst of the operation, she spots Brad. But as far as she knows, he’s not working this case, and his disheveled appearance and glassy eyes have her worried. She’s seen Brad in compromising positions before, but never like this. Has he gone rogue? Or has he just given up? 
    While Liv hunts a killer, she’ll unravel a world of secrets and deceit, where no one is who they say they are. How does her partner, the man she trusts most, fit into this mess? And will they be able to get out of it alive and unscathed? Or is this the end of their perfect partnership?

    Some wars are destined to be fought forever… 
    They call it ‘The Graveyard of Empires’ for good reason. For thousands of years, Afghanistan has been the rock that generations of would-be conquerors have perished on. What chance does one man stand in this place? 
    So when ex-SAS major Ben Hope hears former bounty-hunter, Madison Cahill, needs his help he knows it will test him to his limits – and beyond. As the borders slam shut, he must trace his friend before the new regime does. His only lead? An ancient lost city founded by Alexander the Great and rediscovered by Madison’s archaeologist father. 
    The mission will take Ben back to a place he thought was firmly in his past, back to someone he can never leave behind – and back to some old comrades. Among these is SAS man turned assassin, Jaden Wolf. Wolf has come to Afghanistan with his own agenda and knows as well as Ben that the conditions they face may prove as lethal as their enemies. 
    As they uncover old secrets, they find modern ones are just as dangerous. Who is the mysterious ‘Spartan’ that the British officials are so desperate to extract from behind enemy lines? And outnumbered and outgunned at every turn, is the pressure of being the last hope of the innocent too much to bear when surviving past sundown seems impossible? 
    In Graveyard of Empires, Scott Mariani, a bestselling author, takes readers on a suspenseful journey of private espionage. The military and detective elements make this a standout in the mystery and adventure genre. 
    For fans of Andy Mcdermott (The Knights of Atlantis), Don Bentley (Capture or Kill), Vince Flynn (Oath of Loyalty), Mark Greaney (The Gray Man), and Stephen Leather (Clean Kill).

    The BRAND NEW cracking cozy mystery series from MILLION COPY bestseller J. R. LeighIf you love The Thursday Murder Club, Agatha Christie and Richard Coles then you'll love The Morwenna Mutton mysteries!** 
    Readers love J.R. Leigh and Morwenna Mutton: 
    ‘This is a cosy crime story with some gentle sleuthing, full of twists and turns, and even a little romance, although things do turn pretty hair-raising at times for Morwenna. The inhabitants of Seal Bay are charming, vibrant and humorous and there is plenty to love in this thoroughly engrossing story. Morwenna makes a great lead character and I am keen to read more in this lovely series.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘I adore all Judy Leigh’s books. They are warm, witty, welcoming and extremely well executed. I always know I will be in for a treat when I pick up one of her books.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘It's a cozy type mystery with family, drama and even a little romance thrown in, showing that you are never too old- for anything if you put your mind to it. A brilliantly entertaining read, I look forward to more in the series.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘Morwenna is truly unique. At a time when most women would be happy to take it easy, she is intent on taking on more. Her work and family are important to her, but it is her determination to solve a mystery that makes her stand out. She is feisty and unrelenting. She puts herself in peril again and again, never stopping to consider the danger. A great mystery with a fantastic leading lady.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘Well written with an enjoyable mystery. I really like the fact Judy Leigh peoples her books with more mature characters and Morwenna is one of my favourites.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘As well as the humour and wit in her novels and the fabulous characters and stories, her settings are excellent too. In the Morwenna Mutton series, Seal Bay comes to life with its coast, all the little shops around and the people who live and work in the area. It’s all so easy to picture and you feel like you are there, right in with all the action.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    TGIF used to mean happy hour drinks or curling up with delivery pizza. But when you live in an inn for paranormal beings, the end of the week often signals the beginning of chaos. 
     
    And this Friday? A banshee has invaded the basement, I've shifted from human to cat three times in one day (a personal record I never wanted to set), and my confidential files at SPA headquarters have mysteriously vanished. 
     
    Getting rid of the shrieking banshee is priority number one, and all we have to do is solve a local murder. 
     
    Easy enough, right? 
     
    The suspect pool quickly narrows to four grieving family members, but it doesn't take long for the waters to muddy as secrets and resentments bubble to the surface. 
     
    Between vengeful spirits, family feuds, and my own mysterious past catching up with me, surviving until Monday is looking less likely by the hour. 
     
    Maybe I'd be better off as a full-time cat after all.
