Secrets of the Angels


They closed the case. She never did. FBI Special Agent Dom Walker has spent years outrunning the disgrace tied to her name. Her father, a decorated NYPD officer, was arrested in a sting and dead by suicide days later. Case closed. Pain shelved. Until a whispered confession suggests it was all a setup. Now Dom is pulled into an off-the-books investigation with everything on the line—her badge, her father’s legacy, and a truth someone has worked hard to erase. The deeper she digs, the darker it gets: a former Internal Affairs chief with too many secrets, a corrupt network buried beneath decades of silence, and a cover-up built to survive scrutiny. Worse still, the rot is spreading—to people she trusts most. Dom isn’t just chasing answers now. She’s fighting to protect her team: unfiltered, unapologetic analyst Lea Peck; brilliant researcher Mila Pascale; close ally Owen Whyte, and her brother, Beecher, suddenly caught in the crosshairs. Some secrets don’t die with the past. Some come for what you love. A dark, emotionally layered FBI thriller for fans of Tana French, Sharon Bolton, and readers who crave sharp characters, broken systems, and justice that cuts deep. ______________________________________________ Praise for the Dom Walker Series: ?  “Dom fights for justice—she never backs down.” ?  “A real woman with real flaws doing impossible work.” ?  “Reads like a movie.

The Green Years


One of A. J. Cronin’s best-loved novels, The Green Years is a compassionate story of a boy’s growth to manhood, set against the harsh reality of life at the turn of the century. Robert Shannon is a young Irish Catholic boy who, orphaned at the age of seven, is brought to live with his mother’s estranged family in Scotland. As he grows up in a dour Presbyterian town, only Robert's great-grandfather – an incorrigible, swaggering, charming, larger-than-life character – seems able to rescue him from the narrow interests of the people who try to shape his life in their own image. Disappointed in love and in his burning ambition to study medicine, the eighteen-year-old Robert sees his future as a blank wall. But, once again, he is saved from despair by his fiery relative, much to the chagrin of the rest of the family . . . Originally published in 1944, The Green Years is a heartfelt classic from A. J. Cronin – a vivid gallery of characters imbued with his customary blend of imagination, insight and tenderness. It was adapted for the screen by director Victor Saville, receiving two nominations at the 1946 Academy Awards.
