Agatha Innes has traded the frantic pace of the Met for the supposedly doddle of a post as Detective Inspector in the idyllic tri-county area of Abernathy, Fleckney, and Darnley - but between a history of surreal poisonings and professional assassins, Fleckney is not at all what it says on the tin. When a suspicious death occurs at the ultra-posh Serpent's Nest restaurant, Agatha is thrust into a world of two-star Michelin menus, groundbreaking pharmacological research, and local power dynamics. The victim, the head of the prominent Fitzroy family, is found face-down in his lunch with a chillingly permanent smile. As Agatha navigates the investigation, she must contend with uncooperative celebrity chefs, devilishly charming lawyers, and eccentric herpetologists. Yet, beyond the crime scene, a larger question looms: why is this specific patch of the English countryside populated by such preposterously handsome men - and why do three of them seem so intent on getting her undivided attention? Solving the murder at Serpent's Nest might be the first step in uncovering the broader, quirkier mystery of Fleckney itself.

Everyone wants justice. Nathaniel Vale wants something else. When women begin disappearing across Savannah, Detective Clara Hayes finds herself trapped in a deadly game with a killer who leaves behind strange trophies, cryptic messages, and clues designed specifically for her.

Victoria has always been different. With the ability to manipulate shadows, she's spent years keeping her powers-and the darker side of herself-hidden from everyone around her. At school, she's simply a smart, creative girl trying to live a normal life. And Peter Parker is her best friend: the person she trusts most, the person who always seems to know when something is wrong, and the one person she could never imagine losing. But Peter has a secret of his own. He's Spider-Man. Neither knows the truth about the other until a mysterious series of technology thefts begins connecting their powers to something much bigger. As Victoria and Peter investigate the strange organization hunting them, they uncover secrets that go back further than either of them could have imagined. And somewhere between late-night conversations, rooftop battles, inside jokes, and the secrets they can no longer keep, their friendship begins turning into something neither of them is brave enough to name. Because sometimes the person standing beside you in the darkness is the one you've been looking for all along. But when the truth about their powers finally comes to light, Victoria and Peter will have to decide what they trust more-the secrets they've been told... or each other.

Seventeen-year-old Skylar has spent most of her life trying not to become her mother. Being the daughter of Ravenport's most successful private detective means growing up around unfinished case files, sleepless nights, too much coffee, and empty wine bottles. Sky wants none of it. She'd rather see the world through the lens of her camera than spend her life searching for the worst in people. Then a student at Ravenport High is found dead. The police call it suicide. A few days later, another student dies the same way. There is only one strange connection between the deaths: both bodies are discovered shortly after Jamie-the mysterious new girl who arrived in Ravenport only days earlier-leaves the scene. Sky doesn't want to investigate. At least, that's what she keeps telling herself. But the closer she looks, the less the pieces fit. And when she discovers that each victim received the same message exactly three days before their death, coincidence becomes much harder to believe. A black flower. A letter. Two words. **YOU'RE NEXT.** With the number of victims rising and the police refusing to see what Sky sees, she finds herself doing the one thing she swore she never would: following in her mother's footsteps. Her first suspect? Jamie. Unfortunately, Jamie has no intention of staying out of Sky's investigation. And the more time Sky spends with the frustrating, impossible-to-read girl, the harder it becomes to decide whether she wants to uncover Jamie's secrets... or get closer to her. Someone in Ravenport is watching. Someone knows exactly which students to choose. And with every black flower, the clock begins again. Three days. One warning. Then another body. Sky thinks she's hunting a killer. She has no idea the killer has been waiting for her to start looking.

Behind polished smiles and perfect reputations lurk masks no one dares remove. But as the FBI races to expose the truth, an even darker force begins to emerge -one that will challenge everything they believe about justice, loyalty, and the human mind. In a world where everyone wears a facade... The dead may be the only ones telling the truth.

Eyes perceive only what lies within reach. The mind, in mere milliseconds, transforms those fleeting images into something we believe we truly see. Yet as humans, our vision is limited confined to what stands before us. We rarely grasp what exists beyond the frame... beyond the scene. And deeper still, beyond what we dare to name as corruption, lies something far more complex something we were never meant to notice
