Am I a decent man?How can I be, after what I've done? If my life were a jigsaw puzzle, it would look from a distance like every piece were present and correct and in its rightful order. The edges straight and square, the surface perfectly smooth, the picture complete. And that – I would have said once – is what makes me a decent man. But that was before Anna Johnson... I could blame Anna for the things that go wrong. For the decisions I make, the ones my work colleagues question, the ones that turn away my wife and my son, and the ones no one else knows about. I could blame her for the dreams, unsettling and lifelike. And I could blame her, too, for the fear that invades my body, the physical sensations I can't control, right when I need control the most. I could blame Anna for all of this because it starts with her. But the more I learn about Anna Johnson, about who she...

It's not the things we say that do the most harm.But the things we don't. "Great characters, edge of your seat twists, thrills and intrigue." Rosa Marie Santago said she was innocent. Even though she was found with her lover on her lap, his throat cut, his blood on her nightgown. Even though her prints were all over the blade, no one else in the house. Even though the jury was quick to secure her conviction. Three years into her sentence and she still says the same. But Rosa's innocence is less of a concern to Private Investigator Lawrence Hoskins than his partner's guilt. The case is a no-go, but was handed to Cass Fletcher by her former field training officer on his death bed and now she feels obliged to see it through. So how to solve a murder after the jury has already convicted? Then there's the silent calls at all hours of the night. The feeling he can't shake that he's being...

How do you get the truth heard...When those who'd rather keep it silent fear nothing? "There was one twist in particular that took me completely by surprise." Detective Lawrence Hoskins hasn't been back to work yet; not since the incident that almost cost him his career, his pride, his dignity and his life. He tells everyone he's doing fine. Sometimes he believes it. But when a former work acquaintance opens up about her missing twin he welcomes the chance to busy his mind with something else. In more ways than one. Attractive medical examiner's assistant Catherine Marshall describes her brother Simon as a good man with a kind heart who simply vanished without trace in the summer of 2014. But it's not long before Hoskins learns not everyone remembers the nightclub DJ in the same way. The more questions he asks, the more the picture distorts. With no other means of getting to the...

Sometimes to defeat the monster, you have to become the monster... In the summer of 1985 an eight-year-old boy vanishes near his home. Five years later and eighty miles away, a nine-year-old girl reappears after going missing for six months. She doesn't speak at first. When she does no one believes where she says she's been, what she's done, who she's seen. But three decades later and the now thirty-nine-year-old ordained pastor may be private investigator Cass Fletcher's only hope; a last chance to find the missing boy before his mother loses her battle with a terminal illness. The two cases couldn't be more different – the children were from different districts, different schools, different ages and social status, one child returned, the other didn't. Only their faith offers the faintest of connections. But it's enough for Fletcher. She knows that for her and her partner to do in months what law enforcement...

A man isn't born a killer. Something happens to make him become one... "Brilliant thriller for fans of Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben" The victims are young men. Their killer drugs them and slashes their wrists. Then he cleans their bodies, combs their hair and wraps them in protective sheeting before leaving them where they'll be easily found. Is it a compulsion? A game? Or a brutally delivered message? These are the questions Homicide Detective Lawrence Hoskins must answer as he takes on the lead role in his first serial murder investigation. But as the bodies keep coming, he feels like he's the one holding the blade, the one standing between life and death. Under mounting pressure he turns to former colleague Cass Fletcher for help. She knows how a serial killer thinks and why they can't stop. If she can tell him why, perhaps it will lead him to who. Except Hoskins has...

How do you rid your home of evilWhen you're the one invited it in? What happened before...The Isaacs had everything. Parents to twin teenagers, a boy and a girl, a large house in a secluded spot, money in the bank, good looks, nice cars, holidays abroad. The perfect family. The perfect life. Sacha wished they were her family. She wanted to be a part of them. And for a short time she was. What's happening now...A single parent, Sacha thought she had struck the right balance between her career as a police officer and caring for her young son. Thought she was enough for him. But now that her father, her childminder to Jake, is moving over five hundred miles away, she's not so sure. Perhaps it's time to tell the truth. Except it's been years since she last spoke to the Isaacs. And that's a long time to keep a secret like the one she has. What happens next...There are three things...

"A wonderfully touching and powerful story." Good and bad.Right and wrong.Decent and indecent.The line that separates them is thinner than you think. PC Steve Fuller has served as an officer for over twenty years. There's nothing he hasn't seen, nothing he can't deal with.

He's the last person she'll see. She's another tragic victim of the road. Another fatality. At the end of another shift. Except she won't go away. Pale blue eyes and porcelain skin framed by ebony hair haunt...

Meet VioletShe takes after her father... Private investigator Lawrence Hoskins has one job to do. Locate a teenage runaway. He knows what the young woman looks like, and with some degree of guesswork where she is. It should be a piece of cake. Except the client requesting the job is the missing teenager's father, and also a cold-blooded murderer and fugitive on the run. When Hoskins first developed an alliance on a previous case with organized crime boss, Jimmy 'The Drain' Rosedale, he'd known it was only a matter of time before it would come back to bite him. And now that the man has resurfaced when he should be in hiding, the teeth that nip are sharper than ever. If Jimmy goes down, Hoskins goes with him. The only way to get the gangster off his back and out of his life for good is to do as he says. Find his daughter, whatever it takes. But as Hoskins soon learns, Jimmy's kid is no ordinary...
