macabre murderer, or risk becoming the next victim.

Kill Who You Want
What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open woundComplete
The Missing Pattern
FBI Special Agent Kitty Harper thought she was investigating a simple missing persons case-until the disappearances of teenage girls across California start to overlap in unsettling ways. What begins as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a chilling discovery: a hidden, deadly network trafficking vulnerable teens with ruthless precision. To stop the tide of innocent lives being stolen, Kitty must uncover the twisted pattern linking each case-before more girls vanish without a trace. Haunted by her past and driven by a thirst for justice, Kitty's pursuit of these monsters forces her into a dangerous alliance with her partner, Calvin-whose proximity stirs feelings she can't afford to indulge. As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Kitty finds herself battling not only the criminals but the darkness threatening to consume her from within. With each step closer to the truth, the stakes grow higher. Kitty must ask herself how far she's willing to go to bring these predators to justice-knowing that the cost could be her mind, her soul, or even her life. In a world where every move could be her last, Kitty faces the ultimate question: can she stay in control long enough to save the missing, or will she too fall victim to the shadows? The clock is ticking. The darkness is closing in. And only one thing is certain: the hunt for justice will push Kitty to the very edge of sanity.
