No crime can stay secret forever, can it?

When a suspicious break-in at an abandoned bowling club is reported, Detective Tom Blake discovers a large pool of dried blood in the hallway, but where is the body?

Later, enquiries reveal that a teenager and middle-aged man connected to the property disappeared without a trace in 1978.

When the burglar’s DNA comes back as a familial match to a notorious paedophile sports coach, Bob Bennault: soon to be released from a ten-year prison sentence, a dark picture slowly emerges. Is it just a coincidence one of Bennault’s relatives broke into 28 Chapel Road, or is there something far more sinister going on?

Blake and his team delve into the original missing person case, but someone is hiding the disturbing truth, and they will stop at nothing to ensure it stays buried.

Will Blake and a forensic team with ground-penetrating radar unearth the deadly truth surrounding the house of lies before a devastating hit-and-run involving his family leaves Blake questioning whether his life is worth living?

Opposites can attract… or attack

For the straight-laced DC Lucy Taylor, her transfer to Edinburgh is the start of a brilliant new stretch of her career. But she never could have expected what she’d find on her first day, namely her new boss, DCI Ross Marshall. Brash, dismissive, and willing to bend and break the rules, everything a good copper shouldn’t be.

But the pair need to put all recriminations aside, as in the dead of night, amidst a sweltering heatwave, a young activist is murdered in his flat. Everyone seems to have a motive, even his fellow activists, but every suspect seems to have an ironclad alibi. And if Marshall and Taylor can’t come to terms and use their unique talents to crack the case, their murderer will get away… like a thief in the night.

Landing a job caring for the unresponsive wife of celebrity podcaster Colin Harrington could be the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time. I get a place to live, a paycheck and a way to salvage my comatose career.

But caring for Colin’s wife Kara is testing the limits of my sanity. Doors seem to open and close on their own, shadows shift in the corners of my vision, and I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being watched.

I wouldn’t mind if I knew it was Colin watching. He’s been through hell, and it has been years since his wife’s accident. Maybe it’s time he moved on—and maybe I’m the one who can help him.

Then I find a tape that reveals a shocking truth. Someone in the house has a dark secret—one they’ll do anything to protect. But they’re not the only ones with something to hide.

I have a secret of my own and I won’t be silenced easily.

To solve a high-profile abduction, one former-police officer must confront a dark past.

A peaceful town is cast into turmoil by a chilling pattern of child abductions. The lack of ransom for a rich child’s disappearance only deepens the mystery. As the tally of vanished children reaches five, an invisible predator’s random strikes heighten the fear that engulfs the community.

When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created “perfect” life is about to unravel before her eyes. She’s forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she’s worked so hard for-her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect.

Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more.

Neither Brittany nor Alex is prepared for the most surprising chemical reaction of all–love.

Part history and part cultural analysis, The Grift chronicles the nuanced history of Black Republicans. Clay Cane lays out how Black Republicanism has been mangled by opportunists who are apologists for racism.

After the Civil War, the pillars of Black Republicanism were a balanced critique of both political parties, civil rights for all Americans, reinventing an economy based on exploitation, and, most importantly, building thriving Black communities. How did Black Republicanism devolve from revolutionaries like Frederick Douglass to the puppets in the Trump era?

Whether it’s radical conservatives like South Carolina Senator Tim Scott or Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, they are consistently viral news and continuously upholding egregious laws at the expense of their Black brethren. Black faces in high places providing cover for explicit bigotry is one of the greatest threats to the liberation of Black and brown people. By studying these figures and their tactics, Cane exposes the grift and lays out a plan to emancipate our future.
