No Rest for the Wicked
A dark, suspenseful thriller with pitch-black humour, in which a series of grisly murders in the week of 31 October take place in the 'Halloween town' of Little Horton - a community famed throughout the Midwest for celebrating the festival with gusto. Perfect for fans of Ronald Malfi and Rachel Harrison. In one Halloween obsessed Midwestern town, everyone's on red alert after a local politician goes missing. Little do they know it's only the beginning. It's been close to twenty years since forensic pathologist Dolores Hawthorne left her hometown of Little Horton, Wisconsin. The town is famous for its Halloween celebrations, but also its history of violent deaths linked to the holiday. To Dolores, it's the place she fled, family, bad memories, and all. Until the FBI calls to tell her that her father--the former mayor turned US Senator--is missing under mysterious circumstances. Some people count to ten to wake up from a nightmare. Dolores always counts the bones of her head instead: sphenoid, frontal, lacrimal. But no matter how many times she counts them, it doesn't change the fact that her father is missing, that his final words of warning to her were to trust no one, and that now, the rest of her family is giving Dolores a chilling welcome. With Halloween fast approaching, Dolores must face the past she left behind before it's too late.
The Cut of the Moon
A startling mystery and a longing for love link two women, a century apart, in a haunting novel about family secrets by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Lost Letters of Aisling. Jewelry designer Lindsey McKenna is thrilled to be working at an antique exhibit at a local landmark that has been her obsession: the Wind Thorne estate. During the 1920s, it roared.

When one of them approaches Lindsey with an old diary, Lindsey is drawn deeper into Wind Thorne’s storied past. It’s 1925 when young Ruby Thornhill steals her beloved sister’s engagement ring—a naive but heartfelt attempt to stall her upcoming wedding, which Ruby fears will tear the siblings apart. What the theft triggers thrusts Ruby into danger, and with it comes the realization that Wind Thorne is home to potentially inescapable secrets. Aided by a charming gemologist, Lindsey gradually uncovers Wind Thorne’s history—and to her surprise, her own history as well. Now two young women, nearly a century apart, are righting the wrongs of their family and putting the past, and all its heartbreaking mysteries, to rest.

Případy Elišky Hronkové
Rok 1864, do něhož je vsazeno sedm detektivních příběhů z Prahy, není ničím výjimečný. Má blíže k dnes už poněkud zaprášeným časům českého národního obrození než k epoše, kdy se začal rodit „nový svět“ s honosnými budovami, širokými osvětlenými bulváry a bezmeznou vírou v technický pokrok...
Ale i v roce 1864, zdánlivě klidném, bují v Praze zločin. Na vyšetřování dohlížejí soudci a jedním z nich je rada Jindřich Hronek. Protože zastává významný a dobře placený úřad u zemského trestního soudu, jeho rodina patří mezi společenskou smetánku. Hronkovi mají pronajatý velký byt na Starém Městě a na rozdíl od většiny obyvatel Prahy nebojují s nouzí. Mohou si dovolit poslat syna Hansiho na studia práv do Vídně a bystré dceři Elišce dopřát alespoň omezené vzdělání v německé vyšší dívčí škole.
Eliška Hronková... O ní budeme vyprávět především. Tahle teprve sedmnáctiletá dívka má výjimečný talent pro vyšetřování zločinů. Kdyby se narodila jako muž, snad by ji čekala kariéra ve státních službách. Jenže teď se od ní očekává jen jediné: aby se jednou dobře vdala a plnila roli vzorné manželky a hospodyně. Naštěstí je Eliška dost chytrá a tvrdohlavá na to, aby se jako vyšetřovatelka dokázala prosadit i v době, která nadaným ženám příliš nepřeje...

Play Nice
A woman must confront the demons of her past when she attempts to fix up her childhood home in this devilishly clever take on the haunted house novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Black Sheep and So Thirsty.
Clio Louise Barnes leads a picture-perfect life as a stylist and influencer, but beneath the glossy veneer she harbors a not-so glamorous secret: she grew up in a haunted house. Well, not haunted. Possessed. After Clio’s parent’s messy divorce, her mother, Alex, moved Clio and her sisters into a house occupied by a demon. Or so Alex claimed. That’s not what Clio’s sisters remember or what the courts determined when they stripped Alex of custody after she went off the deep end. But Alex was insistent; she even wrote a book about her experience in the house.
After Alex’s sudden death, the supposedly possessed house passes to Clio and her sisters. Where her sisters see childhood trauma, Clio sees an opportunity for house flipping content. Only, as the home makeover process begins, Clio discovers there might be some truth to her mother’s claims. As memories resurface and Clio finally reads her mother’s book, the presence in the house becomes more real, and more sinister, revealing ugly truths that threaten to shake Clio’s beautiful life to its very foundation.
