conspiracy horror romance

When Chief Superintendent Jack Spike's head was discovered impaled
on the iron railings in front of the Tower of London a ripple of horror 
swept across England.  This ripple grew to tsunami proportions when it 
was leaked out that a note had been stapled to his tongue, written by his
own hand and in his own blood, pleading that Bill Watson and Jennie 
Holmes be assigned to the investigation into his murder.

Detective Inspector Bill Watson had retired from Scotland Yard after 
being shot and wounded during the Xmas Murders' case where 
identical twins calling themselves the Scalpel Sisters tortured and 
killed members of the English Establishment..  His assistant, Detective 
Sergeant Jennie Holmes, resigned from the force and left for the USA 
with her lover, Professor Tony Bush, to get married and settle down 
on his university campus.  The Scalpel Sisters were shot and suffered
multiple injuries by the henchmen of the Russian oligarch, Biteya 
Gonadsoffski.  He was arrested and deported to the USA to face charges 
relating to drug crimes, funding terrorist organizations and murder.

When a new outbreak of serial killings seem to be the work of a copycat 
killer but this time aimed at an erratic, global pool of victims, Bill Watson 
and Jennie Holmes are persuaded to assist with the investigation.

A/N This is the follow-up to the Xmas Murders.

Shadows of the Night by charlizekkelly

"Nothing good ever came without sacrifice. Some of us just found clarity in the darkness of those shadows." *** Nyx Monroe grew up with terrifying tales of golden-eyed beasts with nightmarish fangs and murderous tendencies but as time passed, she forgot about them, convinced they were just scary stories. When her father, Azeil Monroe, is tasked with solving the murder plaguing the coastal city of Celacali, it's a chance at a fresh start. However, Nyx discovers everything is not what it seems beneath the veneer of the popular tourist location, also known as the City of the Dead. Something dark resides there-death and carnage reincarnate. Plunged into the city's shadows, Nyx stumbles into the open arms of notorious Orion, Kotori, Niko, and Kade-the boardwalk is their blood-stained domain. They've been waiting for twenty-five years to exact their revenge for a debt long overdue, luring Nyx and her father back to where it all began. Whilst they distract Azeil with one murder case after the other, their focus shifts to Nyx. Soon, there's nowhere left for her to run-to hide-from the true beasts of legend, or from the darkness of her past.
