Black Lake Manor
A locked room. A brutal murder. And a killer who can unwind time…
A DEAD BILLIONAIRE
Part-time constable Ella Manning never thought she’d have to investigate her ex-fiance´’s murder. But that’s exactly what happens when tech entrepreneur Lincoln Shan is found dead in his study the morning after a controversial product launch – with the door locked from the inside.
A RAGING STORM
Trapped inside Shan’s mansion above the remote town of Black Lake, it’s up to Ella to catch the killer. But Black Lake is no ordinary place, and its strange history will make this the most baffling murder case of her career.
SIX HOURS TO FIND A KILLER
Because some of the town’s inhabitants have the power to rewind time – and someone is using it to protect a murderer. Just as Ella is sure she has identified the culprit, the last six hours are undone. With no memory of what she discovered before, her investigation begins again with very different results. But which conclusion was true? The race is on to find the killer before they strike again – and time is not on her side…
A must-read for fans of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, The Sanatorium and And Then There Were None, Black Lake Manor will keep you feverishly turning the pages all night long.
Five Minds
Sharing a body can be murder
Alex, Kate, Mike, Sierra and Ben have spent twenty-five years trapped together. And there’s no escape. They share one body, part of humanity’s answer to its dangerously spiralling population.
After more than two decades of bickering and petty vendettas, the one thing they can agree on is that they need a better host, and so they travel to a Death Park where they can win enough to get them the upgrades that will make the next twenty-five years bearable. But things go very wrong when Kate accepts a dangerous offer, and one of them disappears.
Someone is trying to kill off members of the commune. But why? Is one of them responsible? Or is an outsider playing a deadly game? It’s hard enough to catch a murderer. It’s almost impossible when you might be sharing a body with them…
