"A killer with a blood lust that is centuries old
After a lengthy leave of absence, DCI Jane Phillips is back in Major Crimes, neck deep in the most macabre murder investigation of her career.
The naked body of a famous sportsman has been laid out in a churchyard, wrapped in a white shawl, surrounded by flowers. Stranger still, his heart is missing.
With such a high profile victim, the pressure to find the murderer is instant and extreme. And it only increases when the killer strikes again—leaving behind another mutilated body, posed in exactly the same way.
With no obvious connection between the two victims, Phillips turns to profiler Dr. Siobhan Harris. Can she help to identify the perpetrator or discover the motive behind these brutal murders?
But no one could have prepared Phillips for what the doctor is about to reveal.
Everything points to a killer on a mission, and a body count that's likely to double within days—unless Phillips can stop the murderous psychopath, hell bent on satisfying his own Deadly Craving."
"Two identical murders, thirty years apart.
Thirty years ago, gangland enforcer Archie Boothroyd was brutally slain in an apparent ritual killing. The case was never a high priority for the police—after all, it meant one less gangster on the streets—and his murderer was never caught.
Now, almost three decades later, when Paul Bradley—a close friend of Boothroyd's—is murdered in exactly the same way, DCI Jane Phillips and the Major Crimes Unit are called in to investigate. Is Bradley's death the work of a copycat? Or has the original killer finally returned?
As the team delve deeper, they find themselves immersed in the dark underworld of gangland Manchester, where kidnapping, torture, and murder are an everyday hazard.
When a third body is found mutilated in exactly the same way, Phillips and the team realize they are in a race against time to catch the killer. But what they don't understand is the next victim could be one of their own.
Can Phillips find the murderer before they strike again? Or is she about to lose everything she holds dear to the Deadly Night?"
"Two people, an online business meeting. Before it's over, one of them will be dead.
On a weekly Zoom call with her most valuable client, Antonia Berry is beyond horrified when she witnesses his murder—four hundred miles away—live on her laptop screen.
DCI Jane Phillips and the Major Crimes Unit begin to investigate and at first it seems the victim is just a regular guy with no obvious enemies or connections to crime. But then, when a woman is killed in a seemingly random hit-and-run, they discover the two victims are closely connected. A coincidence? Or a double murder?
As the team dig deeper into the two attacks, they hardly have time to draw breath before a third victim turns up dead—once more with clear connections to the previous murders.
With the clock ticking, Phillips and her team pull out all the stops, desperate to solve the case before the killer strikes again. The only problem—the person most likely to be the next victim is also the number one suspect.
Can Phillips find the killer before another person dies? Or will her determination to serve and protect at all costs see her become the final victim of the Deadly Caller?"
"Miss Emma Pearson lives the most remarkable life for the daughter of a constable. Because of her brother's heroics in Scotland, she has astonishingly become the ward of the Marquess of Downshire. Now, she wears only the finest clothes and mingles with members of high Society. Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned when a series of accidents causes her Season to be ruined before it has even begun.
Simeon Martin, the Viscount of Wentworth, despises most people. He is content working alone as a Bow Street Runner despite his sizeable fortune, finding solace in tracking down criminals. But all that changes when Lord Downshire hires him to protect his ward from a jilted suitor. Everything about the situation urges him to refuse, but his sense of curiosity is piqued, and his sense of honor compels him to help her, forcing him to deal with the one thing that he truly hates: a spoiled debutante.
With danger lurking around every corner, Emma and Simeon must learn to trust each other when they are both swept up in the rising Anti-Corn Law movement. Despite their frustration with each other, they both reluctantly discover that working together isn't as unbearable as they had previously thought. And as their budding friendship turns into something more, can they trust each other with their hearts?"
"Lord Morgan Easton is, first and foremost, an agent of the Crown. To achieve his purposes, he has become Society's golden boy, and a renowned rake. When it's discovered that notorious French spy, Genet, is attending a house party in a small seaside village, he is tasked to infiltrate the gathering and arrest the spy. But first, he must convince a certain woman to become his partner and pose as his wife. The challenge is that she would rather see him dead.
Miss Josette Northcott guards her secrets fiercely, trusts few, and enjoys the anonymity that goes along with being the headmistress of a private school in the rookeries. When Lord Morgan offers her a deal she can't refuse, she makes it clear that this is nothing more than a business arrangement. No man, no matter how charming or infuriatingly handsome he is, can know the truth of her sordid and twisted past.
As a nefarious plot begins to unfold, threatening the stability of two countries, Morgan and Josette must learn to trust each other in order to stop the assassination of both the King of France and their own prince regent. However, trust does not come easily to either agent, and when the truth of Josette's past is finally unveiled, will they be able to accept that not only is their mission on the line, but their hearts, as well?"

But then her father, the new Earl of Waterford, shows up, with the shocking news that she is now a titled lady. Further turning her life upside down, he proposes a bargain. She will have a single Season in London, and if she does not marry by the end of the Season, she will be gifted with her dowry and a small estate. Despite her mistrust of her father, Martha accepts his offer, but can't seem to let go of the anger that has been festering inside of her.
Dr. Emmett Maddix is tired of the frivolity of the ton and spends his time atoning for his past sins by providing medical care to the poor. His life takes an unexpected turn when he is recruited to be an agent of the Crown. He is assigned to run a charity hospital as a front to collect information about a vicious band of smugglers known as The Cursed Lot, who have managed to overtake the town of Gravesend with a reign of murder and oppression. As Emmett delves further into The Cursed Lot's domain, he quickly discovers that not everything is what it seems. While the tangled web of intrigue begins to unravel, Martha and Emmett battle an undeniable attraction. With more than just their hearts at stake, surviving the mission will be more difficult than either of them could ever imagine."
"Some murders are so perfect they just have to be done again.
The body of a naked woman is discovered in a Manchester park. Her murder has all the hallmarks of a notorious killer known as the Suffolk Strangler. But there's a problem—the Strangler is serving a life sentence in prison.
So is this just a coincidence? Or is there a copycat killer on the prowl?
As DCI Jane Phillips and her Major Crimes team begin to piece together the victim's final hours, another body is discovered, and this time it's a carbon copy of murders committed by the infamous Muswell Hill Murderer.
Now Phillips is in no doubt—she's chasing a psychopath who has been inspired by Britain's most horrifying serial killers. As the body count rises, psychological profiler Dr. Siobhan Harris joins the team and little by little they begin to build a picture of a terrifying predator.
But their opponent is smart, careful, and always seems to be one step ahead.
Can Phillips stop the killer before another brutal murder is meticulously restaged? Or will even more victims be consumed by this deadly obsession?"
