      Leonard Lawson bol uznávaný profesor stredovekého umenia. Žil pokojný život na predmestí Liverpoolu spolu s dospelou dcérou. Nikto netušil, že by mohol mať nepriateľov, až kým ho Louise nenašla zavraždeného. Než skolabovala, naskytol sa jej bizarný pohľad na starcovo skaličené a deformované telo poskrúcané podľa výjavu z jedného umeleckého diela. Detektívka hlavná inšpektorka Eve Clayová musí pri pátraní po vrahovi, ktorý v Merseyside oživil stredoveké hrôzy, bojovať s vlastnými démonmi, aby rozlúštila temnú symboliku miesta činu. Päťdesiat rokov trvajúce mlčanie prelomil odkaz napísaný krvou.

      V uliciach Liverpoolu zúri snehová metelica a práve vtedy, päť minút pred polnocou, zazvoní Eve Clayovej telefón. Muselo sa niečo stať, a aj sa stalo. Detektívku zavolali na miesto činu do luxusnej štvrte neďaleko jej bydliska. V jednom z bytov sa jej naskytne pohľad na krvavé divadlo. Počas spánku tu niekto zmasakroval šesťčlennú rodinu. Páchateľ si dal dokonca záležať, aby ich zohavené telá starostlivo rozmiestnil do tajomného obrazca. Ale kto? A prečo? Evina myseľ pracuje na plné obrátky, niečo podobné už kedysi dávno videla, ale nevie si spomenúť kedy a kde. No niet času na dohady, mesto ovládla panika a Eve musí chytiť nemilosrdného zabijaka skôr, ako udrie znova. Lenže on má náskok a dokonca vie o jej minulosti viac, ako ona sama tuší.

      The Behaviour Whisperer
    • A dark, disturbing, compulsively page-turning thriller featuring Herod, a killer of unimaginable cruelty, with an unthinkable desire London is in the grip of a barbaric serial killer, dubbed Herod by the tabloid press. Four pregnant women have been abducted in quick succession, their bodies mutilated and dumped. When a fifth pregnant woman, Julia Caton, is taken from her home in the dead of night, DCI David Rosen knows that time is running out to save her. Then Rosen gets a mysterious phone call from Father Sebastian Flint, an enigmatic priest who seems to know rather too much about the abductions. When it emerges that Father Flint was once the Vatican's leading expert on the occult, the investigation takes an increasingly disturbing turn. But it isn't until Rosen discovers the existence of an ancient text—said to be the devil's answer to the Bible—that the true horror of Herod's plan begins to unfold. Rosen is drawn inexorably to the killer's lair, where he will discover a terrible truth—that Herod's retribution is absolute, and that there are far worse things than death.
