As Detective Sergeant Jamie Brooke copes with the daily pain of watching her daughter suffer through her last days, she is assigned to a macabre murder case.

Can she stop the killer before madness takes its ultimate revenge? DEVIANCE Who is the sinner and who is the saint? Jamie Brooke is working as a private investigator in the London Borough of Southwark when the body of a priest is found in the ruins of Winchester Palace, his tattooed arms flayed, his mouth stuffed with feathers. Jamie begins the hunt for the skin collector with the help of museum researcher, Blake Daniel, who is haunted by visions of a terrifying past. As violence erupts, leaving a trail of bodies in its wake, Jamie and Blake must find the murderer before those they love are taken down in the chaos.

Book Description

A mute child holds the key in this addictive serial killer thriller for fans of Dark Places. Maggie Connolly never intended to work with the police, but Detective Reid Hanlon’s latest homicide case requires the expertise of a shrink. What’s a detective to do with an eight-year-old boy who hasn’t said a word since his family’s brutal murder? But Maggie did not expect that treating the boy would drag her into a serial killer’s crosshairs. Nor could she have anticipated that her own father might be attacked. And evidence left at the scene indicates that her dad knows the suspect. Did her psychologist father treat their killer before his dementia diagnosis? Like the child in her care, her dad can’t tell them what he saw; he doesn’t even remember Maggie. But both the mute child and Maggie’s father are in mortal danger—this killer has never before left a witness alive. And it soon becomes apparent that Reid and Maggie did not come upon this case accidentally. They were chosen as pawns in a madman’s game, one stretching back decades. Their killer is meticulous, determined, and worst of all, patient. And Maggie’s blood is now part of his endgame. Intense, addictive, and chock full of well-developed and darkly hilarious characters you’ll never get enough of, Mind Games is a fast-paced psychological crime series for fans of Bones, Sharp Objects, and The Blacklist. *** KEYWORDS: strong female lead, female sleuth, female investigator, amateur sleuth, psychologist sleuth, female protagonist, psychologist protagonist mystery suspense thriller series, hard-boiled mysteries, female protagonist, pulp, murder, female lawyer protagonist, noir, dark mood, hard-boiled mystery, police procedural, mystery series, crime, noir, gritty detective novels, psychological thrillers, serial killer, crime thriller, crime fiction, hard boiled detective, hardboiled detective fiction, hard boiled crime, funny psychologist, dorky sleuth gritty mysteries, mystery series books, psychological thriller series, psychological thriller, detective shrink partner, psychologist detective, psychological suspense, psychological thriller books, nail biter mysteries, wise cracking detective, detective partners, crime fiction, urban murder mystery, serial killer thriller, female protagonist, whodunit, whodunnit, family drama, domestic suspense thriller, psychological domestic suspense, dark and suspenseful

Book Description

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Birthmark (Psychological Thriller)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Excerpt: "One day, very soon after their marriage, Aylmer sat gazing at his wife with a trouble in his countenance that grew stronger until he spoke. "Georgiana," said he, "has it never occurred to you that the mark upon your cheek might be removed?" (The Birthmark) The Birthmark deals with the husband's deeply negative obsession of his wife's outer appearances and what does that entail for these two young couples. The birthmark represents various things throughout the story. Two of the main representations are imperfection and mortality. American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804-1864) writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. Hawthorne has also written a few poems which many people are not aware of. His works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.
