What would you do if you woke up
and didn't know who you were? Chloe
Daniels regains consciousness in a hospital with no memory of how she got
there. She doesn't recognise the strangers who call themselves family. She
can't even remember her own name. What if your past remained a mystery? As she slowly recovers, her parents and
sister begin to share details of her life. The successful career. The
seaside home. The near-fatal car crash.
But Chloe senses they're keeping dark secrets - and her determination to
uncover the truth will have devastating consequences. What if the people you should be able trust
are lying to you? Between the Lies is by
Michelle Adams.
Scrublands is by Chris
Hammer. A dead river. A dying town. A
killer's secrets... In an isolated country town ravaged by drought, a
charismatic young priest opens fire on his congregation, killing five men
before being shot dead himself. A year
later, journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend to write a feature on
the anniversary of the tragedy. But the stories he hears from the locals don't
fit with the accepted version of events.
Just as Martin believes he is making headway, a shocking discovery rocks
the town. The bodies of two backpackers - missing since the time of the massacre
- are found in the scrublands. The media descends on Riversend and Martin is
the one in the spotlight. Wrestling with his own demons, Martin finds himself
risking everything to uncover a truth that becomes more complex with every
twist. But there are powerful forces determined to stop him, and he has no idea
how far they will go to make sure the town's secrets stay buried.

Cold as the Grave is by James
Oswald. Her mummified body is hidden in the dark corner of a basement room, a
room which seems to have been left untouched for decades. A room which feels as
cold as the grave. As a rowdy
demonstration makes its slow and vocal way along Edinburgh's Royal Mile,
Detective Chief Inspector Tony McLean's team are on stand-by for any trouble.
The newly promoted McLean is distracted, inexplicably drawn to a dead-end mews
street... and a door, slightly ajar, which leads to this poor girl's final
resting place. But how long has she been
there, in her sleep of death? The answers are far from what McLean or anyone
else could expect. The truth far more chilling than a simple cold case...
A troubled genius who vanishes in
a mysterious car crash. A disillusioned
cop sensing conspiracy in the corridors of power. A ruthless team of mercenaries operating in

link connects them all. A champion
fighter. Betrayed and searching for the truth. The Hunter is by Andrew Reid.
Say you’re Sorry is by Karen
Rose. Special Agent Gideon Reynolds has
tried hard to put his past behind him. He escaped the violence of his cult

have been his way of making sense of the world. But when a petite blonde woman
crashes into his life, he begins to realize that a little bit of chaos might
not be so bad. Daisy Dawson has had more
than her fair share of pain too - but she's done being a victim. Daisy's
determined to explore every new experience she can - including getting to know the
dark and serious FBI investigator she meets when she fights off a masked
attacker one night. It soon becomes
clear that Daisy's attack was just the beginning. Now the bloodied bodies of
young women are showing up all over California, and, as Gideon tries to find
the killer, it's clear that Daisy is in more danger than they ever realised...
Alison has it all. A doting
husband, adorable daughter, and a career on the rise - she's just been given
her first murder case to defend. But all is never as it seems... Just one more night. Then I'll end it. Alison drinks too much. She's neglecting her
family. And she's having an affair with a colleague whose taste for pushing
boundaries may be more than she can handle.
I did it. I killed him. I should be locked up. Alison's client doesn't deny that she stabbed
her husband - she wants to plead guilty. And yet something about her story is
deeply amiss. Saving this woman may be the first step to Alison saving herself. I'm watching you. I know what you're
doing. But someone knows Alison's
secrets. Someone who wants to make her pay for what she's done, and who won't
stop until she's lost everything....
Blood Orange is by Harriet Tyce.
Past Life is by Dominic
Nolan. Detective Abigail Boone has been
missing for four days when she is finally found, confused and broken. Suffering
retrograde amnesia, she is a stranger to her despairing husband and bewildered
son. Hopelessly lost in her own life,
with no leads on her abduction, Boone's only instinct is to revisit the case
she was investigating when she vanished: the baffling disappearance of a young
woman, Sarah Still. Defying her family
and the police, Boone obsessively follows a deadly trail to the darkest edges
of human cruelty. But even if she finds Sarah, will Boone ever be the same
again?
The Big Kahuna is by Janet and
Peter Evanovich. FBI Agent Kate O'Hare
plays by the rules. Charming con man Nicholas Fox makes them up as he goes
along. They're working together to tackle the out-of-bounds cases ordinary FBI
agents can't touch. And their relationship? Well,
there hasn't been so much explosive chemistry since Nitro was introduced to
Glycerin. Next up: the mysterious
disappearance of the Silicon Valley billionaire known as the Big Kahuna. His
model wife and shady business partner are more interested in gaining control of
his company than in finding him. They need a dead body... not a living
Kahuna. The only lead is the Kahuna's
drop-out son, who's living the dream in Hawaii. To get close to him, Kate and
Nick go undercover as a married couple in the surfer community. For Kate, there
is nothing more horrifying than setting up house with Nick Fox. If they don't
catch a break soon, waves aren't going to be the only thing she'll be shredding
(or bedding).

vulnerable. One of them is lying. One of them is guilty. No one is safe. Months after landing their dream job, five
brilliant young minds are sent on a remote retreat. But when one of them disappears, they are

they’d go to get what they want. And for
the first time in their lives, they realise that too much knowledge can be
deadly. Call me a Liar is by Colette
Mcbeth.

upper class Edinburgh lurks blackmail, adultery, poison and madness and Sarah
must return to Edinburgh's slums, back alleys and asylums as she discovers the
dark past about a family where no one is what they seem, even Miles himself. It
also brings her back into the orbit of her mercurial professor, Gregory
