Victorian London—a violent cesspool of squalid sin. The twelve
detectives of Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad are expected to solve the
thousands of crimes committed in the city each month. Formed after the
Metropolitan Police’s spectacular failure in capturing Jack the Ripper,
they suffer the brunt of public contempt. But no one can anticipate the
brutal murder of one of their own...
A Scotland Yard Inspector
has been found stuffed in a black steamer trunk at Euston Square
Station, his eyes and mouth sewn shut. When Walter Day, the squad’s new
hire, is assigned to the case, he finds a strange ally in Dr. Bernard
Kingsley, the Yard’s first forensic pathologist. Their grim conclusion:
this was not just a random, bizarre murder but in all probability, the
first of twelve.
The squad itself it being targeted and the
devious killer shows no signs of stopping. But Inspector Day has one
more surprise, something even more shocking than the crimes: the
murderer’s motive.

cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head,
but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could
have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from
the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the
town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and
inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely
bitter—but is he really a killer?

ability to locate missing people. But her life of crime-solving is
anything but easy. If you had the gift, would you use it?
The fifth book in the beloved series, Missing You continues with fun adventure, crime-solving, and plenty of romance. Fans of the series will not be disappointed.
Jess Mastriani -- dubbed "Lightning Girl" by the press when, after a
huge storm, she develops a psychic ability to find missing children --
has lost her miraculous powers. Or has she? She would like the media and
the government to think so. All Jess wants is to be left alone, by
everyone except sexy Rob Wilkins -- who still hasn't called, by the
way....
But it doesn't look like Jess is going to get her wish --
especially not while she's stuck working at a summer camp for musically
gifted kids. Then the father of a missing girl shows up to beg Jess to
find his daughter. Jess can't say no, but now the feds are on her trail
again, as is one ornery stepdad, who'd like to see Lightning
Girl...well, dead.
Just because her best friend wants to exercise, Jessica Mastriani agrees
to walk the two miles home from their high school. Straight into a huge
Indiana thunderstorm.
And straight into trouble.
Not that
Jess has never been in trouble before. Her extracurricular activities,
instead of cheerleading or 4-H, include fistfights with the football
team and monthlong stints in detention -- luckily, sitting right next to
Rob, the sexiest senior around.
But this trouble is serious.
Because somehow on that long walk home, Jessica acquired a newfound
talent. An amazing power that can be used for good...or for evil.
Run, Jessica. Run.
