What Cannot Be Said
July 1815: The Prince Regent''s grandiose plans to celebrate Napoleon''s recent defeat at Waterloo are thrown into turmoil when Lady McInnis and her daughter Emma are found brutally murdered in Richmond Park, their bodies posed in a chilling imitation of the stone effigies once found atop medieval tombs. Bow Street magistrate Sir Henry Lovejoy immediately turns to his friend Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, for help with the investigation. For as Devlin discovers, Lovejoy''s own wife and daughter were also murdered in Richmond Park, their bodies posed in the same bizarre postures. A traumatised ex-soldier was hanged for their killings. So is London now confronting a malicious copyist? Or did Lovejoy help send an innocent man to the gallows? Aided by his wife, Hero, who knew Lady McInnis from her work with poor orphans, Devlin finds himself exploring a host of unsavoury characters from a vicious chimneysweep to a smiling but decidedly lethal baby farmer. Also coming under increasing scrutiny is Sir Ivo McInnis himself, along with a wounded Waterloo veteran-who may or may not have been Laura McInnis''s lover-and a charismatic young violinist who moonlights as a fencing master and may have formed a dangerous relationship with Emma. But when Sebastian''s investigation turns toward man about town Basil Rhodes, he quickly draws the fury of the Palace, for Rhodes is well known as the Regent''s favourite illegitimate son. Then Lady McInnis''s young niece and nephew are targeted by the killer, and two more women are discovered murdered and arranged in similar postures. With his own life increasingly in danger, Sebastian finds himself drawn inexorably toward a conclusion far darker and more horrific than anything he could have imagined.

For decades, a dark force has terrorized the Languille Lake reservation.

Here he falls afoul of the sandman, an encounter Marion barely escapes through the timely intervention of his cousins Alana and Cherie, who both work at the casino and are intimately aware of the sandman''s power. Meanwhile, Glenn Nielan, only recently out of the closet and an aspiring documentarian, hopes to capture the faces of the Ojibwe land while experiencing the casino''s thrills. But he will learn that all who choose to play the sandman''s games are in danger of falling into his grasp. Marion and Alana are members of the Bullhead clan, a family with ties to a sacred past and a fierce determination to ensure their future. Alana, with her seven-fire sight, is the only person to fully grasp the danger the sandman poses. Aware of Marion''s occasional ability to navigate the spirit world, she enlists his aid in defeating this wraith. But the power and reach of the sandman go far beyond Alana''s worst fears. Soon she and Marion find themselves in a battle for their lives and for the souls of the reservation''s residents, both the living and the dead.

The Piccadilly Noir Series - Midnight Streets
A pacy, evocative dark historical thriller about a working-class private detective in 1920s London?s Soho, who has grown up alongside the morally dubious characters who are key to cracking the cases he investigates, for fans of Dominic Nolan and Laura Shepherd Robinson.When Cockney private detective George Harley saves a young girl?s life on a dark London night in 1929, he doesn?t realise it marks the beginning of an investigation which will change his life forever. The incendiary novel which inspired the girl?s abduction also seems to be linked to a series of grisly murders that are taking place on Harley?s patch, and though he?s delighted to be asked by Scotland Yard to help find the killer before they strike again, he could do without the local razor- and cosh-wielding mobsters thinking he?s a police informant. Set during the Golden Age of Crime Fiction, Harley?s world is a far cry from the country house of an Agatha Christie whodunnit. This working-class sleuth does his ?sherlocking? in the frowzy alleyways and sleazy nightclubs of Soho ? the city?s underbelly ? peopled with lowlife ponces, jaded streetwalkers, and Jewish and Maltese gangsters: a world of grubby bedsits, all-night cafés, egg and chips, and Gold Flake cigarettes.Here, the midnight streets are black as pitch and, as Harley finds himself embroiled in the macabre mysteries of a city in which truth is as murky as the pea-souper smog, he begins to realise he may never find a way out.
