Eight months after the Red Thread serial homicide left its mark on Everwood, the city is about to face something darker still. When performance artist Jonah Mercer is found dead at the centre stage of the Marwood Theatre, his body arranged in a tableau no one who sees it will ever forget, Detectives Lina Cho and Michael Lau step into a crime scene that is less a murder and more a message. What begins as a homicide investigation in the heart of Everwood's arts community quickly becomes something far larger. The staging is not random. The symbols are not decorative. And the killer is not finished. Jonah Mercer had spent two years building a case that someone was willing to kill to suppress, one pointing toward shell companies, ghost identities, falsified records, and a criminal network buried within the city's own institutions for thirty years. As evidence surfaces and the investigation widens, it becomes clear that the architect of it all is still watching. And still protected. The White Mask is a richly layered crime novel about power, erasure, and the patience it takes to dismantle both, and a city slowly learning the cost of what it chose not to see. The White Mask is the second Everwood homicide novel, following The Red Thread.

Inside every elite hotel room she leaves behind, a gruesome canvas of posed corpses awaits the FBI. And at the center of each crime scene sits a single golden apple, carved with a promise: From the fairest. FBI profiler Paris Van Pelt is the only one capable of deciphering the killer's twisted mythology. He's trained to hunt monsters, but he isn't prepared for Hera Carrington. She is a billionaire heiress, a socialite, and a goddess in her own right. She's also Paris's prime suspect. Hera is too untouchable for the law to bind, and too captivating for Paris to resist. As they engage in a lethal game of cat and mouse, Paris realises he isn't just trying to solve a murder-he's deciding whether to bring a killer to justice, or fall to his knees before her.

In a world where vampires have finally been crowned the apex predator, peace comes with paperwork, treaties, and strictly regulated blood supplies. Humans coexist beside creatures that could tear them apart in seconds, comforted by laws that insist restraint is possible. Dominic Castelo is living proof that restraint exists. Four hundred years old, devastatingly handsome, and the CEO of one of Europe's most powerful corporations, Dominic is everything the vampire world reveres: ancient, ruthless, untouchable. He sits on thrones of money and influence, answers only to the Vampire Council, and inspires fear with a single look. There's just one problem. He's a vegan. No human blood. No hospital rations. No indulgence in the very thing that defines his species. If the Council ever finds out, ridicule would be the kindest outcome. Enter Jessica Mooncrest. Blunt to the point of rudeness, painfully honest, and entirely unimpressed by immortal power, Jessica storms into Dominic's life as his new executive assistant-and somehow becomes the only human he trusts. But she has secrets of her own. In a vampire-dominated world, her rare form of diabetes makes her blood a whispered legend-a forbidden high capable of intoxicating even the strongest vampire. She hides it well. Until one drunken confession turns her into the most hunted human alive. Dominic is forced to choose between maintaining his carefully constructed restraint or risk burning the world down to keep her safe. Because loving Jessica means defying his nature. Protecting her means declaring war. And wanting her means resisting the one thing that could make him unstoppable. After all- what's more terrifying than a vampire who refuses to feed?
