-The fourth extract from the casefiles of D.I. Hawes & D.S. Gray-
Edmund is working on borrowed time. Six days since his boss took her 'holiday' from the police force, he's no closer than he ever was to finding out where or why she left, or any closer to the mysterious key his friend Cammie allegedly keeps hidden.
Hawes, too, is living on a knife-edge. Her past has caught up with her, and she's been forced to duck into hiding. By this point, she's begun to play the game she always knew she'd have to - the prize being her own life, and that of many others.

-The third extract from the casefiles of D.I. Hawes and D.S. Gray- Edmund Gray was supposed to be on holiday. Well-if a beautiful American private detective invites you to accompany her on a cruise of the Mediterranean, you don't exactly refuse, do you?

-The second extract from the casefiles of D.I. Hawes and D.S. Gray- When D.S. Edmund Gray first arrived on the doorstep of Coates Hill Preparatory School for Boys, I.D. in one hand and takeaway cup of steaming coffee in the other, his initial reaction was how glad he was not to have gone there. His companion, a certain D.I. Cynthia Hawes, however, was more concerned about how easy it looked to climb out if the large, ornate Gothic style windows on the upper floors and make your way safely (ish) down to the ground below. And to D.I. Hawes's intent amusement, not that she would ever admit it to another living soul, it seemed one of the young boys had done just that. Previous Hawes&Gray cases: #1.

Darkness to surround us both
'When you inherit a name like mine-Holy Day (yes, Holy with one 'L')-innocence isn't just lost; it's discarded. You grow thick skin, thicker defiance, and develop zero tolerance for judgment.' Holy Day isn't addicted to substances that poison the body; her vices are far more dangerous. Her cravings corrode the mind, distort reality, and leave emotional ruin in their wake. Her addiction is desire-a seductive curse-and the only thrill that keeps her nightmares at bay. As a favour to her only friend, Alex Robbinson, Holy reluctantly agrees to see a psychologist to discuss her so-called "problems." Society may see her lifestyle as a descent into madness, but Holy enjoys it, finding pleasure in the trauma that has shaped her. She embraces her scars like trophies. Therapy is just another game, and she loves bitter truths like her morning coffee-black and sharp. While Holy dutifully attends her therapy sessions and confronts her past, Alex, a detective teetering on obsession, faces a storm of violence in the present: a murderer is wreaking havoc in town and the victims are all women. As the body count rises, his concern for Holy's proclivities grow, distracting him from the case. The final dance between predator and prey begins, secrets unravel, and obsession leads to betrayal. Can Alex catch the killer before Holy becomes his next tragic case? Or will her darkness consume them both?

Crudêl
Law isn't for everyone. Some people sign up for the paycheck, chasing the dream of a cushy life. But Azalea? She had her own reasons. Cases landed on her desk like clockwork - too many to count. And while she didn't tackle them all by herself, the road to becoming a prosecutor turned out to be a lot rougher than she expected. It's not just about knowing the law; this job demands guts and a steel stomach. Prosecuting someone who's defended by the most powerful lawyer; someone you know is guilty - and deserves two decades behind bars - takes a kind of strength most people don't have. And those evidence photos of a mangled body? Let's just say you'd better be ready to lose sleep. In the middle of all this chaos, Azalea crosses paths with a man who clearly knows more than he's willing to admit. His words are careful, his motives murky, and his presence only adds another layer of mystery to unravel. Is he the ally she desperately needs, or will he end up throwing more obstacles in her way? Another secret to uncover, another gamble to take - and this time, the stakes feel even higher. *** Crudêl dives into the life of Azalea Monet, a young woman determined to follow in the footsteps of her late father. But before she can become a renowned prosecutor, she has to survive the hardships of Harvard Law. It's not exactly smooth sailing. While stumbling through her studies, Azalea takes on a mystery no one else dared to touch for years - an old, forgotten case buried under years of dust and indifference. Will she crack the truth wide open? And if she does, will it be worth it? Along the way, Azalea faces challenges that could either break her or turn her into the strongest version of herself.
