About the book
"Blade-sharp, whip-smart, and genuinely original — a thriller to refresh your faith in the genre, your belief that a story can still outpace and outsmart you."— A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in The Window
"Clever and surprising...The superb character-driven plot delivers an astonishing, believable jolt."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Deserves two big thumbs up. Readers will be gripped by this astonishing story in which one gasp-inducing twist follows on the heels of another. A unique page-turner that just begs to be turned into a movie." —Booklist (starred review)
"Sly, sinister...a white-knuckled read. There are gasp-worthy surprises, of course, and the exquisite and lurid twists will reveal themselves in time."--Vanity Fair
A smart, witty, crackling novel of psychological suspense in which a girl from a hardscrabble small town meets a gorgeous Instagram influencer from the big city, with a murderous twist that will shock even the most savvy reader.
On a beautiful October morning in rural Maine, a homicide investigator from the state police pulls into the hard-luck town of Copper Falls. The local junkyard is burning, and the town pariah Lizzie Oullette is dead—with her husband, Dwayne, nowhere to be found. As scandal ripples through the community, Detective Ian Bird’s inquiries unexpectedly lead him away from small-town Maine to a swank city townhouse several hours south. Adrienne Richards, blonde and fabulous social media influencer and wife of a disgraced billionaire, had been renting Lizzie’s tiny lake house as a country getaway…even though Copper Falls is anything but a resort town.
As Adrienne’s connection to the case becomes clear, so too does her connection to Lizzie, who narrates their story from beyond the grave. Each woman is desperately lonely in her own way, and they navigate a relationship that cuts across class boundaries: transactional, complicated, and, finally, deadly. A Gone Girl for the gig economy, this is a story of privilege, identity, and cunning, as two devious women from opposite worlds discover the dangers of coveting someone else’s life.
"Both amusingly satirical and darkly bloody."—The Washington Post

In her pulse-pounding psychological thriller debut, author Camden Baird lays bare the anguish and terror of a mother living out her worst nightmare when her young child goes missing.
Sadie Wilson’s heart stops the moment the phone rings. Deep in her soul, she knows what’s coming, and the voice on the other end only confirms her fears: Emma never made it to school. Her sweet, scared five-year-old climbed onto the bus for her very first day of kindergarten…and then vanished.
Struggling to push aside her grief to focus on getting her daughter back, Sadie finds herself slipping deeper into despair. The growing list of suspects weighs heavily on her mind: the secretive teacher, the registered sex offender, the delusional neighbor, the disgruntled ex-wife, the evasive principal—everyone seems to have a connection to Emma. And a surprising grudge to bear.
Thankfully Sadie’s got her loving husband, Allen, by her side. But she can’t help feeling he’s hiding something too.
Edgy and full of twists, The Last Morning is an emotional thrill ride, unfolding little by little from each suspect’s point of view.

About the book
His team double-crossed and left him for dead. Now he’s back to kill them all.
Solomon Church is a ghost. An ex-special forces operative trained for the most dangerous covert missions, he’s been living off the grid for a decade in self-imposed exile—hiding from the men who betrayed him.
Ten years ago, Church and his team were dispatched to the DRC to eliminate General Zawadi, an African warlord profiteering from a horrifying cobalt slave mine. Their cover is simple: working close protection for British business magnate Sir Walter Blackthorn, there to negotiate a cobalt trade deal for the UK. But as they play their parts, waiting for the right moment to strike, Church comes to realise they may not be the only ones planning something...
Now, Blackthorn is back in the spotlight—his vast business empire turning into an unstoppable political machine, driving him straight toward the highest seat of power in Britain. For most, he’s a visionary leader. For Church, he’s the man who turned a righteous mission into a brutal betrayal, and the very reason his old teammates deserve to die. To stop Blackthorn, Church must step out of the shadows and into a deadly game of espionage, political conspiracy, and the kind of revenge only his special forces training could have prepared him for.
But he knows Blackthorn won’t come quietly. Surrounded by the men Church once called brothers, he’ll be forced to call on all of his skills and experience if he hopes to right the wrongs of his past, and finally finish what he started all those years ago. Blackthorn already killed him once. Now it’s his turn to repay the favour...
***
The Exile is an action-packed high-stakes military and spy thriller, loaded with special forces tradecraft and explosive twists. Join Church on his crusade for revenge, as he deals his own brand of vigilante justice to those who deserve it most. Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Mark Greaney, Lee Child, and readers of espionage and CIA thrillers, this is the high-octane first mission of Solomon Church—a lone operative who’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done. Gear up for a rip-roaring international thriller and discover your new favourite action hero today.

About the book
This “swashbuckling, spine tingling, bloody good masterpiece of an adventure novel” (James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author) about a man who follows in the footsteps of his pirate forebears to solve the mystery of his parents' murders and find the greatest treasure in the world.
On a yacht in the warm blue waters of the Caribbean, a little boy named Alex Hawke, hidden in a secret compartment, witnesses the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of two strange men. The only survivors of the attack, Alex and his father’s black parrot, Sniper, are sent back to the island off the coast of England where his family had lived and where generations of Hawkes have called home ever since their pirate forebear, the legendary Blackhawke, was betrayed and hung by the British.
Decades later, the boy, now a grown man and a naval hero, returns to the Caribbean on a special mission for the United States and Great Britain. His task is to find a secret Stealth submarine that has mysteriously disappeared and the men responsible for the theft. Once there, however, Hawke begins to have flashbacks about the night of his parents’ murder. He has also brought along with him a piece of paper his father had pressed into his hands before locking him into the compartment—an ancient treasure map.
Hawke begins to puzzle through his own tragic history and the meaning of the map, even as the search for the submarine intensifies. As Hawke nears the end of his search for his parents’ killers and the men who stole the submarine, he begins to realize that they are one and the same and that to the victor not only will go unimaginable military power but also one of the greatest treasures in the world.

A new energy source holds the promise to change the world. If it doesn't kill it first.

The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren't able to find and destroy them - and soon - the world will be on the threshold of a new era of catastrophe and unchecked volcanism.
