Three people know Jack's secret. One is with him. Another needs him back in the U.S. The third wants him dead.

Six months is a long time for a guy like Jack to be out of action. His edge has eroded. He is contemplating leaving his old life, slipping away, disappearing for good. But Jack realizes he can't hide forever. He made a mess, now he has to clean it up. He will repay his debt.

Praise for the Isabel Fielding series:

"I can't praise this book enough...it was one of the best books I've read this year!"

"Without giving too much away the characters had me fooled! Nothing is what it seems, you need to keep reading ... just one more chapter..."

"One For Sorrow is such a fabulously dark and twisted read. I knew from the opening pages it was going to be good but by heck I didn't forsee the twists and turns as they happened. It's one of those stories that you will be constantly second-guessing and jumping at conclusions only to be totally wrong."

"This dark, twisty psychological thriller was totally riveting."

When a body is found on a lonely cliff top path, the angelic face of a murdered teenager lies facing the rising sun. Strangled by the hands of an unknown killer, it falls to DI Tom Janssen and his fledgling team to find out how she came to be there. Destined for a career in medicine, one to rival that of her parents, Holly Bettany's future was as bright as it had been privileged. Seemingly, all that could threaten this promising teenager's life was Holly herself.

In an idyllic coastal setting, Janssen must unpick the layers of deceit within a close-knit community that threaten to reveal scandal at every turn. Holly had a secret... and she knew the secrets of others...

Who was prepared to kill in order to keep them hidden? What happens if another comes to know what she did? One thing is certain... a brutal killer has no boundaries...

Set within the mysterious beauty of coastal Norfolk, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark murder mystery peppered with humour and a touch of romance, one that will keep you guessing until the very end when the final shocking twist is revealed.

“In this timely thriller, Beaumont demonstrates a perfected art of suspense.” —Publisher’s Weekly BookLife Prize Semifinalist

How well do you know those closest to you?

Jessica McDonald appears to have it all: a successful London banking career, a happy marriage, and good friends.

Then a terrorist bombing rocks London in the wake of the Brexit referendum.

She narrowly escapes injury and tends to others wounded at the scene, too shocked to process what has happened. Lacking support from her husband in the aftermath, she turns to her new work colleague Will Johnston for comfort, setting her personal and professional lives on a collision course with unforeseen and explosive consequences.

Jessica barely has time to recover before another tragedy hits: her beloved father suddenly dies of a heart attack in Edinburgh, and she rushes to her mother's side to comfort her.

Waiting for Jessica in her father's personal effects are instructions in code and the key to a safety deposit box. As she follows the clues her father left behind, Jessica uncovers secrets that will upend the foundations of her life--and put her in grave danger.

Forced from her home and job, Jessica flees to the Scottish coast where she tries to piece together a terrifying conspiracy that has personal and global implications.

Can she stop events that could topple the political establishment of the country? Or will terror succeed?

 

Secrets between spouses can be killer...
Especially when only one person knows the truth of what's really going on.

Matt and Cara have a wonderful marriage. At least, that's why they want everyone to think. But when secrets start to build up between the two of them, Matt decides on a move so they can have a fresh start.

He thinks that moving from the busy city of Chicago to a little town in Tennessee should allow them both a chance to reinvent who they are. Unfortunately for him, Cara doesn't want anything to change.

She wants everything to continue as it always has, and when they slip back into their old habits, people start to die.

Truth can't be hidden forever, and when it finally comes out, just one of them will survive.

Two people can keep a secret only when one of them is dead.

In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year - a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned.

His body was never recovered.

Ten years later, Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She's married, pregnant, and in control again...

... until Aiden returns.

Too traumatized to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Only his body tells the story of his decade-long disappearance. The historic broken bones and injuries cast a mere glimpse into the horrors Aiden has experienced. Aiden never drowned. Aiden was taken.

As Emma attempts to reconnect with her now teenage son, she must unmask the monster who took him away from her. But who, in their tiny village, could be capable of such a crime?

If only she could skip sideways to the Laney who didn't tell.

But her only escape is through her imagination, until a news story blurs the lines between worlds. Two girls were murdered at the same time and same place as her father's adulterous act. Strange events lead Laney to believe their bones are connected to her and the sister she always wanted.

Laney now has another decision to make. Some Laneys say yes, while others say no; some live and some die.

And some skip between worlds.

About the Author
Skipstone, Brooke: - Brooke Skipstone is a multi-award winning author who lives in Alaska where she watches the mountains change colors with the seasons from her balcony. Where she feels the constant rush toward winter as the sunlight wanes for six months of the year, seven minutes each day, bringing crushing cold that lingers even as the sun climbs again. Where the burst of life during summer is urgent under twenty-four-hour daylight, lush and decadent. Where fish swim hundreds of miles up rivers past bear claws and nets and wheels and lines of rubber-clad combat fishers, arriving humped and ragged, dying as they spawn. Where danger from the land and its animals exhilarates the senses, forcing her to appreciate the difference between life and death. Where the edge between is sometimes too alluring. Some Laneys Died is her second novel. Her first was Someone To Kiss My Scars, also available in French (Embrasser Mes Blessures) and Spanish (Alguien Que Bese Mis Heridas).

2020 Booklife Prize Critic's Report 9.5/10DUBLIN 2019: Michael Gleeson is a well-respected psychiatrist - a quiet man, a good friend, and a useless cook. As the son of a long-dead IRA man, he also spends part of his professional life secretly counseling former members of the disbanded organization. Michael always thought this would be enough to satisfy his heritage, but when the highly skilled yet deeply disturbed Turlough O'Sullivan enters his office, he sees an opportunity that the demons of his past won't let him overlook.
Haunted by childhood tales of the gruesome history of the Irish people under British rule, Michael enlists his new patient's help in an unthinkable revenge - tracking down the living descendants of the most brutal villains of Irish history - as payback for his country and his lineage.
But Michael's plan for a bloody retribution doesn't run smoothly: not only must he learn the truth about the role models who formed him as a child, but on his trail is a young detective at Scotland Yard, an officer obsessed with stopping the unknown serial killer who is out for an historical revenge that she can't understand.

But even as the sisters close ranks against the tenacious reporter, the past threatens to drown them in its wake.
