“Wow. OMG. Wow. Absolutely fantastic… Had me gripped from start to finish… A must read and I would highly recommend… Definitely worth more than 5*” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A city on fire. A killer on the loose. And she’s next…

When the bomb rips through the university, Georgina McKenzie is shocked—and then determined to find out more. As an aspiring criminologist, she doesn’t believe the media spin about a suicide bomber. Something doesn’t add up.

Detective Paul van den Bergen is under pressure to solve the case, but when a second explosion claims the life of another student, he suspects a serial killer is at work. And he knows the perfect person to help track them down: George.

George knew both of the victims and is desperate to prevent another death. She and Van den Bergen work the case, following clues that take them from the quiet streets of Amsterdam to an elite underground club where life is cheap.

But George doesn’t know about her own connection to the murders… or that she’s being watched.

Can she stop the killer? Or is she just walking into their trap?

A pulse-pounding thriller with page-turning action from start to finish, The Girl Who Wouldn’t Die introduces one of the most kickass characters in crime fiction. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Stieg Larsson and Kendra Elliot.

Here’s the set-up:

What dread secret is The Vatican protecting at all costs? Which lives will be sacrificed to keep an awful truth buried behind a code of silence?

“My name is Monsignor Capelletti,” the voice replied. “I’m the chief of staff for the papal nuncio to the United States, Francis Cardinal Kettering. Your name was given to me as someone to be trusted, someone who can help. And I very much need your help.”

“Why, has your cardinal murdered somebody?” Justin asked with a deliberate lightheartedness meant to convey to Capelletti that his use of dramatics was not necessary.

“That’s exactly what’s happened, Mr. Scott,” the priest said, his words barely audible.

After hearing that utterance from a terrified priest, retired FBI agent Justin Scott soon finds himself in the fight of his life. Hired by the Vatican to ferret out the truth – or so it says, Justin uncovers a hair-raising conspiracy involving powerful Vatican prelates, Italian and Russian crime syndicates, all racing against the clock and each other to take possession of the richest prize in Christendom. With time fast running out, Justin’s high-stakes quest leads him to the very steps of the Throne of Peter, then back to Washington DC where he confronts a psychopathic murderer in a cat-and-mouse stalking that plays out to its deadly finish on the mean streets of the nation’s capital.

Here’s the set-up:

Some doors are locked for a reason…

While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing homework, she had no idea her father was killing women in the basement.

Until the day the police arrived at their front door.

Decades later, Nora’s father is spending his life behind bars, and Nora is a successful surgeon with a quiet, solitary existence. Nobody knows her father was a notorious serial killer. And she intends to keep it that way.

Then Nora discovers one of her young female patients has been murdered. In the same unique and horrific manner that her father used to kill his victims.

Somebody knows who Nora is. Somebody wants her to take the fall for this unthinkable crime. But she’s not a killer like her father. The police can’t pin anything on her.

As long as they don’t look in her basement.

Here’s the set-up:

She’s a bada$$. A woman with a gun on her hip and a badge on her belt. And she’s good with a gun. Very good. She’s dying to be a member of the unit – literally. Special Agent Kathryn Hanko soon finds out what it takes to join the clandestine law enforcement team known only as “the unit”.

Enduring a rigorous intake procedure, she fights through her anxieties over being the only woman in an otherwise all-male elite team. She cusses, she demands to be considered an equal to the point of taking “Hank” as her code name, and she drives herself to make sure she is an equal to the men around her. She doesn’t want to be the team’s weak link.

Does she make the grade? Of course she does, taking the role of the team’s sniper, and faces her first mission with them against the terrorist group Camp Chaos.

THE FIFTH JUROR

Former juror Jess Dawson is facing a difficult time in her life, raising an autistic son and navigating a failing marriage, when her past service as a juror on a high-profile death penalty case comes back to haunt her. Mikael Kriskan, a young Russian the jury sentenced to death for killing his adoptive American parents one cold Colorado night, is nearing his execution date when the foreman of their jury and his wife are found dead, killed in the same manner as Kriskan’s parents.

Then, a second juror appears to commit suicide and leaves a disturbing note to his fellow jurors attached to his chest: KJ – do the right thing. Only Jess knows the true meaning of the message but as others begin to suspect the truth, Jess quickly finds herself in the crosshairs of Kriskan’s prosecutor, also her lover, who’s intent on executing Kriskan, and members of the Russian mob, who are hell bent on returning the genius Kriskan to his Russian roots.

The choice they give former juror Jess Dawson seems easy: Kill Mikael, kill her son. Save Mikael, save her son. But in a case where the post-conviction appeals have run out, the impact the truth will have upon her family is dire, and the lives of her fellow jurors are equally at stake—this choice will be anything but easy.
