NEXT TO DISAPPEAR

Teacher Emily Swanson made a terrible mistake that ended in tragedy. Now she's come to London to start her life over. But a missing nurse is about to offer her a chance at redemption…

Her name is Alina and she used to live in Emily's new home. Some say she ran away from her violent husband. Others believe he killed her. Either way, she's been missing for months and no one is looking for her… No one except Emily.

Because finding Alina could help right the wrongs of Emily's past. It could even start a new career in private investigation. But what Emily doesn't know is that Alina had a deadly secret - one about the care foundation where she worked. And the closer Emily gets to uncovering the truth, the closer she gets to terrible danger.

MIND FOR MURDER

Emily Swanson uncovered a web of exploitation and death. Now all she wants is a quiet life. But the mistakes of her past are still haunting her, and so is her need to be forgiven.

Arriving at a remote forest retreat called Meadow Pines, Emily is determined to enjoy a peaceful weekend in nature. Until one of the guests is found dead.

At first it looks like suicide. But when help mysteriously fails to arrive and the retreat's only means of communication is destroyed, Emily begins to suspect the worst.

Now, trapped in the middle of nowhere, Emily must overcome her demons and uncover the shocking truth about Meadow Pines. Because a killer is stalking the retreat…and they're about to claim another victim.

TRAIL OF POISON

Ten years ago Max Edwards quit drinking to save his troubled marriage. Now, he's been found dead with dangerous levels of alcohol in his blood. Convinced there's more to his death than meets the eye, his grieving widow hires unlicensed private detective Emily Swanson.

Emily knows just how it feels to lose everything, but even she finds herself doubting Max's sobriety. Until she investigates his work as an environmentalist and makes a disturbing discovery - Max isn't the only one to die in mysterious circumstances.

A missing mother and son hold the key to understanding why. But will finding them endanger their lives? Because a horrifying conspiracy is in play and those involved will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.
