Book Description

Two Gripping Australian Crime Thriller Series filled with mystery, suspense, and a touch of romance ... This Series Starter Box Set includes two full-length novels and two serial-style novellas: Just Play Along (Book 1, Andy Knight Series) When Andy and Mel’s double date turns into a snuff film, Andy fights back, killing one of her attackers, leading to an unwanted aftermath of attention and threats. Detective Daniel Connor links the attack to the recent discovery of six female bodies found buried in bushland on Sydney’s Northern Beaches — three double homicides now thought to be part of an organised snuff-film ring. When video of the attack is leaked online, the threats against the women escalate. Determined to find answers, Andy is caught in the middle of a deadly investigation. Connor vows to protect Andy and Mel, but as more suspects are uncovered, the more he fears for their lives. Valerie: Trapped (Part 1, Valerie Dawson Novella Series) Forced to pay a debt with deadly consequences … Valerie Dawson is forced into a life of crime when her wayward sister and two unknown men turn up at her Sydney apartment, demanding that she pay off her sister’s debt. She complies, believing that if she does what they want, then they will leave her and her family alone. But when the people closest to her are killed, she discovers there is no way out — she is trapped, caught in a web of corruption, where even the police cannot be trusted. She decides to fight for her freedom and finds an unexpected ally, but soon realises there is much more at stake and that her next move could be deadly. Valerie: Isolated (Part 2, Valerie Dawson Novella Series) Constant threats. A simple favour. Secrets, lies and betrayal uncovered … After the sudden turn of events that saved her life, Valerie Dawson’s survival now depends on stolen evidence remaining hidden and an alliance with a mysterious man named Blake. With constant threats from Max, a seemingly harmless favour ends with betrayal and devastating consequences. Valerie is left shaken, but pursues the truth, uncovering Detective Shane Young’s motives for helping her and her dead sister’s unexpected involvement. Bones of Deception (Book 2, Andy Knight Series) Six months after surviving a brutal attack, Andy finally believes she is moving on with her life, focusing on work and a new relationship with Detective Daniel Connor. Things appear to be going smoothly until an unexpected encounter and a morbid delivery arrives — a gift box, containing a single bone and a note: More will die, unless you die first … Detective Connor and his team suspect the incident is connected to Andy’s previous attack, but they soon discover Andy is not the only target on the killer’s radar. The killer somehow knows intimate details about Detective Connor and his team, and as more bones are delivered and more women disappear, it becomes clear that no one is safe.
