    Victor Cavalier has received the phone call every parent dreads: his daughter is lying in a coma after a motorcycle accident and given little chance of survival. But when a mysterious scientist known as the Shaman intervenes to save his daughter's life, Victor decides he must meet this maverick genius. 
    The Shaman has developed cold-fusion technology that harnesses atomic energy from water. It can be used to replace combustion engines, revolutionising transport and power generation, but also to build terrifying weaponry–making him the target of a ruthless international organisation that will do anything to gain control of this new technology. Now all that stands in their way is Victor–an investigative reporter and undercover operative with lethal skills and a talent for getting to the bottom of the story. 
    From Thailand to Tasmania, London to New York, The Shaman is the gripping new international thriller from bestselling author Roland Perry.

    What you don't remember can hurt you 
    Rian Field has it all. A thriving career as a marine biologist, a loving husband, and a loyal circle of friends. But after surviving a shark attack, she becomes strangely haunted by disturbing memories where two masked men held her hostage in her own home. 
    Before long, nightmares begin to plague her, and she senses that her life is in danger. Rian believes there are fragments from the past that she can't remember, important clues that could save her life. 
    Then someone breaks into her home. Again. Convinced that the shark attack is somehow connected to the masked men, she experiences a renewed sense of terror as the culprits appear to be among those she trusts. They are watching her every move. They know about her fear of sharks. And they will use that fear against her until she's dead. 
    Rian must overcome her fear of sharks and uncover the truth before the past buries her once and for all. 
    A psychological thriller that deals with the realities of trauma and PTSD and is partly based on the author's own experience.

    Sophie Winston is busy handling the first ever convention of the Association of Ghost Kitchens—restaurants that do delivery only—but she's taking a little time out for a lunch meeting organized by A Healthy Meal. The group is dedicated to providing meals for children in need, and as a bonus, it'll give Sophie the perfect opportunity to ogle the lavish Old Town home of socialite Geraldine Stansfield. Gerrie's dining room is impeccably furnished, the table laden with gleaming crystal and prized china. If it weren't for the dead man lying on the floor, everything would be perfect . . . 
     
     
     
    No one knows the victim—or at least, no one claims to. But a little snooping by Sophie reveals links to many local notables. In fact, not only was he a client of Geraldine's late husband, an attorney—every member of the Stansfield clan knew the deceased. But only one knows what he was doing in Gerrie's house. 
     
     
     
    Gerrie's elegant abode looks spotless, but there's plenty of dirty linen in those family closets. Now Sophie will have to get the killer to come clean before he spoils another appetite—for good . . .
