“I saw it in his eyes. They’re going after me. I seriously think I’m their top suspect. Didn’t you see the way they looked at me just now? And the questions. It’s because of the fight. I should’ve called the police!” Fingers tangled in my hair, I strode back and forth. “Why didn’t I press charges when I could? How could I have listened to you over something like that? And who did it? Because it wasn’t me!” I smashed my pointer finger into my chest. “It wasn't me!” Charlie can't turn to anyone she once trusted. While the police may be focused on her, she's desperate to point the finger at someone else--she just doesn't know who. Her friends don't seem like their intentions are true, her boyfriend no longer resembles the man she loves, and one person--someone she's not supposed to care so deeply for--may have all the answers, but what they are could destroy what little is left of her faith in those she has left. Time is precious, and while she's looking at everyone for the reasons behind the murder, they're all staring at her. ...because the police have motive. Hers. SACRED had you reeling, but SUSPECT will have you desperate to discover the final truth. Start at the beginning. Question them all. SNAPPED, Part 1 SHADE, Part 2 SIN, Part 3 SACRED, Part 4 SUSPECT, Part 5 SURRENDER, Part 6 STAY, Part 7 - the final installment. Out April 1st, 2015

In the hot, dry summer of 2060, a Great White Pelican scans the wildfires below him as he flies Northwards. ‘What have they done to our world?’ he asks. Noticing his master’s distress, Erithacus, his loyal Grey Parrot, flew closer, ‘Forget them Pelecanus, they have destroyed their own homelands as well as ours, we must save ourselves now.’ ‘You are right,’ Pelecanus answered thoughtfully. ‘But we must have hope that they also manage to save themselves.’ Erithacus looked confused, as he turned to ask, ‘Why?’ Sighing, Pelecanus looked across at the horizon, noticing the sight curvature of the Earth, ‘Because we share this planet and, believe it or not, we need them.’ Can the creatures of the wild save their homelands and themselves before it’s too late? Summer Solstice is the third volume in The Last Year of the Wild adventure series which celebrates British wildlife and their determination to survive. The story follows on from the second novel, as the wild birds realise that the Human Beings are behind the destruction of the earth, yet they believe there may be ways to help the lands recover.

Newly in love, he is beginning to put a difficult past behind him. Then a local college student goes missing, and Will is inexplicably kept off the case by his supervisor and mentor, deputy director Amanda Wagner. Will cannot fathom Amanda’s motivation until the two of them literally collide in an abandoned orphanage they have both been drawn to for different reasons.

Snatched is the electric tale, by the New York Times bestselling author of Blow, Bruce Porter, that tells the true story of a woman caught between two worlds, with her life dangling in the balance. Raised an aristocrat in Colombia and educated in European schools, Pilar transfixes everyone with her charm and her guile. She also falls for dangerous men and finds herself drawn into the highest levels of the cocaine trade. After two failed marriages and a harrowing escape from the drug life, she settles down to a quiet existence in Florida with her children--until her second husband tries to cut short his prison term by giving her name over to members of a new task force being formed by the DEA. They induce Pilar, now a middle-aged woman, to infiltrate the Cali cartel as the head of a vast money laundering sting. Named "Operation Princess," the scheme leads to the seizure of tens of millions of dollars, along with some $500 million worth of cocaine and the exposure of hundreds of high-level traffickers, becoming one of the most daring and successful stings in DEA history. But Pilar plays her part too well. Her success as a money launderer gets her kidnapped and then ransomed by a band of guerrillas in South America--and the US government refuses to negotiate. It's left to her low-level handlers in the DEA to get her back, before it's too late and her kidnappers discover they have a federal agent in their clutches.
