  Everything’s bigger—and deadlier—in Texas... 
  Finally free from the claustrophobic worry caused by her psychotic baby brother’s bloodthirsty reign, former Special Agent Winter Black—newly Mrs. Winter Black-Dalton—is ready for a fresh start in Austin, Texas. With her husband and former partner, Noah Dalton, at her side, she’s hoping to shed the skin of her past and return to hunting down criminals, but in a very different way... 
  Black Investigations is now open for business. 
  Winter’s first case as a P.I. is as bizarre as it is perplexing. When a wealthy playboy’s girlfriend disappears without a trace, everyone who knew her says she never existed at all. Winter’s new client swears she’s real and that someone wants him to believe he’s losing his mind. 
  But who would do that and why? 
  Winter’s gut says that her client is telling the truth. But the deeper she digs—and the higher the stakes become—she begins to wonder if Fitz is the next victim...or a murderer. 
  From the wickedly dark mind of Mary Stone comes a new season of mystery and suspense starting with Winter's Return. You asked for more Winter Black. The question is...are you ready?

  “Combines the soothing sleuthing of Murder, She Wrote with the humble charm of All Creatures Great and Small.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED review
  		 
  For readers of The Thursday Murder Club comes a lighthearted mystery with an incredible sense of place
  		 
  It’s springtime in rural Manitoba, and the snow has finally left the exotic animal farm when an ostrich finds and swallows a shiny object. (Because this is what ostriches do.) Cue veterinarian and amateur sleuth Dr. Peter Bannerman, who surgically removes the object, which looks like an ancient Viking artifact. Soon after, people around are horrified by a series of animal mutilations. This sets Peter, and his talented sniffer dog, Pippin, on the hunt for answers. Peter begins to suspect a link between the Viking artifact, the mutilations, and a shadowy group of white supremacists on the internet.
  		 
  Before long Peter and Pippin are in over their heads, and the only way for them to get out alive will be to unmask the mastermind before they end up among their victims.

  Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, are on an archaeologist dig, excavating sections of Hadrian's Wall, when they are summoned to Glamis Castle by King Edward. Nestled in the rugged Grampian Mountains, Glamis is the most historic castle in all of Scotland, a place teeming with dark secrets and haunting shadows. While Kate winds her way through the elaborate manor, gaining inspiration for her next Gothic novel, Lord Charles discovers the reason behind their journey. It seems Prince Eddy, heir to the throne until his purported death in 1892, has actually been alive all these years. Deemed unfit to rule, he has been living secretly at Glamis under an assumed name. But now the prince has gone missing—on the very morning the body of one of his servants was found, her throat slashed in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Ripper's. Now, Charles and his clever Kate must find Eddy and clear his name—while keeping his true identity a secret...

  'Sprightly and elegantly written mystery'The Daily Telegraph
  'A marvellous literary thriller' Clare Chase
  'A clever and refreshing take on the mystery novel' Jo Silva
  In post-war Oxford, secrets lie behind every door.
  In 1947, with rationing still biting and the black market thriving, university don C.S. 'Jack' Lewis finds himself pulled into a mystery straight from one of his friend Dorothy Sayers' novels. Susan Temple, his brightest student, has hidden herself away at Rake Hall — a hostel for unmarried, outcast mothers – and hasn't been heard from since.
  With no experience beyond catching the occasional student plagiarist, Lewis is hardly a detective. But when Susan's absence continues to haunt him, he teams up with her concerned friend Lucy and together they delve into the disturbing rumours of a nasty racket at Rake Hall. Can Lewis's nose for the truth separate fact from fiction?
  In The Mystery at Rake Hall, Maureen Paton – whose mother lived at the real-life Rake Hall while pregnant with Maureen – brilliantly recreates a post-war Oxford world, as well as imagining an alternative life for one of its most famous residents.

  The child looked as if he were just sleeping on autumn leaves. But the burned-down candles and wooden cross told a different story… 
   
  Detectives call Dr Harrison Lane to the dark depths of Fenton Woods, where he finds seven-year-old Darren Phillips surrounded by candles and a makeshift cross. A prayer is scrawled on his chest. Papers crammed in his mouth – pages of scripture written in a child’s trembling hand. 
   
  As head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, Harrison reads what others can’t see. The killer kept Darren alive for days, teaching him, forcing him to write. This is a man who believes he’s saving children’s souls from the Devil. 
   
  Then another boy vanishes. 
   
  Using his tracking skills and deep understanding of ritual crime, Harrison hunts a man convinced he’s doing God’s work. But the investigation stirs the dark shadows in Harrison’s own past – shadows that have haunted him for years. 
   
  Can he stop this killer before another innocent life is taken? 
   
  A gripping, keep-you-up-all-night twisty suspense.
