What really happened to Juliet Keller?
Sidelined and angry after a domestic violence call-out went horribly wrong, Bonnie finds herself begrudgingly seconded to a team searching for a missing woman.
According to her husband, Juliet Keller went to the grocery store and never returned. He demands action, but his controlling behaviour have Bonnie’s family violence radar on high alert. Convinced he’s responsible for Juliet’s disappearance, Bonnie is single-minded in her mission to disprove his story.
Outsmarted at every turn, and questioning her worth to her new team, Bonnie finds herself in a cat-and-mouse chase to uncover the truth. Because whatever happened to Juliet Keller, it’s soon clear her life is not the only one on the line…
Bonnie Hunter has dedicated her career to locking up rapists.
While her track record for putting them behind bars is second-to-none, one particularly nasty character has eluded her for years. His penchant for cutting out the tongues of his victims to stop them talking has made him rather difficult to catch.
But he’s just made his first mistake.
Cooper and Quinn have their own problems. With a vigilante killer amongst them, they’re racing the clock to figure out who’s taking justice into their own hands before the press get wind of it and send the vigilante to ground.
Thrown together when the rapist commits his first murder, Bonnie, Cooper, and Quinn team up to stop a ruthless killer with a fresh taste for blood. But will they catch him before the vigilante does?
“Steady now. Focus.
Look down the barrel. Breathe out. Relax.
When I count to three: Start shooting. One… Two…”
London Baines has it all. His ‘real-life’ TV show. All the money he’ll ever need—thanks to his wealthy father, Herbert. And someone hiding in the wings who’d rather see him as a corpse.
In the beginning, Herbert’s fears for his son’s safety seem like parental overreaction. But Rafferty witnesses a visceral new threat to the heart of the Baines family and realizes the only chance at keeping London alive is to take him out of view.
When London disappears from right under Rafferty’s nose, a happy ending seems farther away than ever. Can Rafferty flip the script, bring London home, and reunite father and son? Or will the bad actors succeed in canceling London’s run—permanently?
A love story based on crime, violence, and murder?
Yup, that’s got us written all over it.
We’re Bill and Cat, from Newcastle, Australia.
Our books are an ongoing love letter to crime fiction and all the characters who refuse to give up, who keep fighting on no matter how deep the crap gets.
Why so passionate about crime fiction? Because we owe our it our lives.
We’re sure you’ve seen those author bios like: “Before becoming a writer, so-and-so was a bond trader, iguana breeder, underwater welder & chainsaw juggler.”
Likewise, we both had previous lives, jobs, and careers before writing. Architecture, quality control, consumer advocation, and project management, and a few others we’d prefer to forget.
But—just like the characters we now write about—life had other plans…
Some obsessions never die.
For FBI Special Agent Eden Cross, returning to Adamstown is not a happy homecoming. Haunted by the unsolved disappearance of her best friend, Morgan, Eden has spent every day since trying to discover what really happened in the woods that night ten years ago.
So when a set of human remains is unearthed in the old Raven’s Lake Mine, Eden is determined to finally uncover the truth. But, as she digs deeper, it seems she’s not the only one searching. Lurking in the shadows is a calculating predator known as “The Collector,” who has been meticulously hunting and capturing his victims for years.
With time running out and the past catching up to her, Eden must confront her deepest fears and uncover the truth before it’s too late.
But in a town where everyone has secrets, the truth can be just as dangerous as the lies.
What happens when Social Media turns deadly?
It’s barely been a month since the dramatic standoff that pushed Eden Cross to her limits, but she hasn’t had time to draw breath, let alone grieve her losses. As the newest addition to the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Unit she must navigate the complexities of joining an established, tight-knit team. But her personal demons are never far behind, and the emotional scars from the Adamstown murders still cut deep.
When a brutal serial killer begins targeting social media influencers in New York City, she’s thrust face to face with evil once again. The killer’s signature is as chilling as it is plain: the victims’s lips have been sewn shut and the hashtag #shutup carved into their flesh. As the killer shows no signs of stopping, Eden’s relentless drive for the truth will put her at odds with her new boss and colleagues.
With pressure mounting and the body count rising, Eden and the team must reveal a killer who uses the power of social media to select the victims and broadcast their message. But the closer they get, the more the investigation threatens not just their fragile bonds, but also their lives.
In a race against time, can they stop the killer before the next victim is silenced forever?
