Out Now in Hardback
 SingmassClose has a sinister past. Reputedly haunted by ghosts of children, in the '50s it was the hunting ground of the Doll Strangler, a ruthless killer who was never brought to justice. When the strangled body of teenager Natalie Parkes is found in the same close, a mutilated doll lying by her side, DI Joe Plantagenet wonders whether a copycat killer is at work.
With the recent disappearance of a local model and an escaped convict at large, this new, horrific murder stretches Joe's team to its limit. But as the bodies start mounting up and Joe's questioning brings him closer to the real strangler, he comes to suspect a shockingly creepy connection between all three cases...

When Carmel Hennessy begins a new job in North Yorkshire, she finds the historic city of Eborby gripped by fear. A killer is on the prowl who binds and asphyxiates his victims before leaving their naked bodies in isolated country churchyards. The press are calling him the Resurrection Man.
Tragic events from the past link Carmel with DI Joe Plantagenet, who believes the case may have occult connections. Then Carmel becomes aware of a malevolent presence in her flat and when she starts to receive mysterious threats, it is Joe she turns to first. And that is when Joe is forced to get into the mind of a cunning - and scarily ruthless - killer. |

When a woman is burnt to death in Grandal Field in Devon, it seems like a case of mistaken identity - until DI Wesley Peterson learns of a legend about a French woman who burnt to death in that very spot in the thirteenth century. And when he discovers that records of a previous archaeological excavation on the site have vanished, and that two archaeologists involved in that dig died in tragic circumstances, Wesley starts to investigate the possibility of a link between the legend and recent events.
But edging closer to the truth brings unexpected danger to Wesley, for the truth echoes a story of twisted love and obsession from many centuries ago - a truth that someone wants to keep hidden, whatever the cost...
