The Butterfly House pairs clinical coldness with mounting dread, turning places of care into sites of betrayal and violence.

About the book
In this chilling Nordic noir thriller set in Copenhagen, detectives Jeppe Kørner and Anette Werner investigate a series of brutal murders tied to a hospital, blending psychological suspense, police procedural, and dark social commentary in this sequel to the #1 international bestseller The Tenant that is “brimming with personality, eccentric characters, and plenty of mystery and intrigue” (Crime by the Book).
Hospitals are places of care—or so it seems. In the coronary unit of a leading Copenhagen hospital, a nurse quietly administers a fatal overdose to an elderly patient.
Days earlier, a paperboy makes a gruesome discovery in the heart of the city: the nude body of a young woman in a fountain, her arms marked by precise incisions, her body completely drained of blood.
Detective Jeppe Kørner, navigating the aftermath of divorce and a fragile new relationship, takes the lead. His partner, Anette Werner—on maternity leave but unwilling to stay sidelined—begins her own unofficial investigation. But working outside the system draws her into increasingly dangerous territory.
As the case unfolds, Jeppe and Anette uncover a horrifying pattern of exploitation and control lurking within caregiving institutions. What they find is as unsettling as it is deadly—and far closer than they ever imagined.
A “thrillingly nerve-racking” (Shelf Awareness) Scandinavian crime novel, this gripping installment delivers a dark, atmospheric mystery exploring power, vulnerability, and the chilling consequences of misplaced trust.

About the book
"An emotional thriller, packed with action, love, regrets, and criminal activity that will make your blood boil . . . a phenomenal story." —Fresh Fiction
Sometimes fate brings you together—only to tear you apart . . .
Growing up in the foster system, Quinn O'Meara made a point of never getting involved. But when she discovers a crying baby amid a fiery crime scene, she knows she has no choice. Suddenly in way over her head, Quinn turns to the police, unintentionally positioning herself in the crosshairs of a deadly human-trafficking ring.
The last time homicide detective Nick Saldano saw Quinn, she was still the young girl he'd shared a foster home with. The girl who'd loved and cared for him when no one else had. Now here she was, gorgeously all grown-up—and in terrible danger.
Unwilling to lose her again, Nick insists on keeping Quinn close, especially when the bond they once shared heatedly slides into desire. Quinn finally has someone worth holding on to, but what kind of future can they have when she might not live to see tomorrow?

About the book
Winner of the 2021 Edgar Award for Best First Novel
This “beautifully written, thoughtful page-turner” (Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists) set in Atlantic City blends noir suspense, a missing persons mystery, and female friendship into a haunting, literary page-turner, as two young women become unlikely friends during one fateful summer when mysterious disappearances hit dangerously close to home.
Summer has come to Atlantic City, but the boardwalk is empty of tourists, the casino lights have dimmed, and two Jane Does lie hidden in the marshland behind the Sunset Motel. Only one person knows they’re there.
Meanwhile, Clara, a struggling boardwalk psychic, gives tarot readings to make ends meet—until she begins experiencing disturbing visions that feel all too real. As reports of missing women spread through town, Clara suspects her clairvoyance may be tied to the growing danger. When she meets Lily, a former Soho art gallery assistant now working at a nearly abandoned casino spa while grappling with personal loss, the two form an uneasy bond. Together, they begin to uncover a pattern—but getting too close to the truth may put them directly in harm’s way.
This “heartbreaking…riveting thriller” (Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Tinkers) explores the intersection of womanhood, power, violence, and survival, as two women confront buried truths and risk everything to stop a pattern of disappearance before it claims another victim.

About the book
"A cleverly plotted and thoroughly enjoyable book about dark deeds in beautiful places."—Elly Griffiths
Welcome to the coastal paradise of Porthpella, where murder lurks among the dunes…
Late one night, a distraught young man knocks on the door of retired and recently widowed Ally Bright’s remote home on the Cornish coast. But before she can make sense of his confused words, he’s gone—not to be seen again until he’s found the next morning at the foot of the nearby cliffs.
In an instant, the peace of Ally’s beachcombing life is shattered. Feeling responsible for the young man’s fate, she wants to help find answers—as does ex-cop Jayden Weston, whom Ally meets at the scene. He shares her certainty that there’s more to the story than attempted suicide. When it emerges that the man is newly released ex-offender Lewis Pascoe, and that Helena, the wealthy new owner of his grandmother’s home, has subsequently disappeared, the tight-knit community of Porthpella is thrown into turmoil.
Driven by their need to know more, the duo decide to investigate the mystery together. Is there a connection between the Pascoe family’s tragic history and Helena’s disappearance? And if there is a killer stalking Porthpella, do Ally and Jayden have what it takes to catch them?

About the book
A cold case that’s no longer cold. A suspect who’s been murdered. A silenced witness.
"A brilliant debut." —Steve Cavanagh
"True fans of Val McDermid will love Payne's writing.” —A. J. West
"One of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction." —Kia Abdullah
DI Sheridan Holler is used to solving crimes on Liverpool’s streets, but after a decayed corpse turns up in a cemetery, she finds herself reopening not one but two cold cases. Seven years earlier, two women were gunned down and the only suspect, small-time drug dealer John Lively, was never seen again. Case closed. Until the body in the cemetery is identified as his.
Holler needs to work out if Lively was killed out of revenge, or was just a victim of the criminal world he inhabited. When shocking evidence is revealed about the murder weapon, Holler’s cold case starts to look hopeless once more.
But defeat is not an option. Driven by the unsolved and traumatic murder of her brother when they were children, DI Holler’s pursuit of justice is relentless. As old wounds are reopened, the police close in on the killer, but the threat of them striking again is all too real. Can DI Holler put the pieces of the puzzle together before anyone else winds up dead?

About the book
She thought she knew her husband. She was wrong.
Twenty-eight days ago, my life was perfect. A husband who still made me laugh, two beautiful kids, and a gorgeous house in Savannah that felt like forever.
Two days later, he was gone...swallowed by the water while our children watched.
Everyone calls it a tragic accident. But accidents don’t leave notes from other women in their pockets. They don’t carve question marks into your soul.
And they don’t bring his other wife to your door.
I’m trying to move on. To hold it together for my kids. To bury the choices I made the night before he disappeared—the ones I can’t let anyone discover. But when a private investigator shows up with questions I can’t answer and eyes that see too much, I’m caught between attraction and suspicion...between the truth he’s chasing and the secrets I can’t afford to share.
Because as the lies surface, I’m realizing the wife, the mother, the safe version of me is almost gone. And what’s left might be far more dangerous than anyone expects.
Mira Shaw delivers obsession, betrayal, and dangerous attraction in Almost Gone—book one of a gripping psychological thriller series that will haunt fans of Verity and The Housemaid. Join the Final Chapter Book Club...but beware: the truth is murky, the water is deep, and secrets refuse to drown.
