Potter S: Lincolnshire's Victorian-era
Murders

Lincolnshire's Victorian-era Murders

The Blue Collection

Mermaids. Monsters. Magic. But this story is no fairy tale . . . Kilmara, Scotland. 1725. For fifty years, Iris has accepted the curse that blighted her life. By night, she is a heartbroken woman, destined to walk the misty shores of Kilmara without growing older. By day, she is Moireach, a terrifying monster imprisoned in the murky depths of Loch Moine. When bodies begin appearing on the shore, the villagers are convinced Moireach is responsible. So a hunter - the rugged, ruthless Henry Carver - is summoned to slay the monster of the loch. Iris must break her curse before she is killed for crimes she cannot believe she has committed. But as Kilmara's hunt for the monster becomes ever more fevered, she and Henry are drawn together in a dangerous game of impossible attraction. And when a figure from Iris's past suddenly reappears, she must choose what - or who - she is willing to sacrifice to win her freedom. Because there is no happily-ever-after when you are the monster. A glitteringly dark reimagining of The Little Mermaid set in eighteenth-century Scotland, this enchanting and gothic historical fantasy is perfect for fans of Rosie Andrews's The Leviathan, Georgia Leighton's Spellbound and anyone who loved Outlander. Real readers loved Lochbound 'Lochbound was crafted so well, weaving in folklore [alongside] the moving parts of the fates of each person...I really enjoyed!' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'As soon as I started reading, I knew Lochbound was going to be a five-star read. And when I cried at the 11% mark, that cemented it. It was a great mashup of its inspirations, The Little Mermaid and Scotland's loch monsters...really emotional and I liked all the twists' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Whimsical and folkloric, this standalone felt so immersive and the storyline was gripping until the very end. So many mysteries, plot twists and romantic tension that will keep you awake at nonsense o'clock...This book is a delight, perfect for romantasy readers!' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The worldbuilding was amazing!...I really liked the protagonist and the love interest' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Lochbound is a standalone historical fantasy romance that felt like a dark fairytale... [it] kept me gripped throughout and had some surprising twists. I absolutely loved the setting, a small village in the Scottish highlands bordering a loch, and the creepy, unsettling atmosphere of the story' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Little Mermaid meets Scottish folklore in this brand-new, spell-binding fantasy romance

Conspiracies of a Mad Man True Crime and Culture

The Murder That Changed a City.

The tragic story of Shoeshine Boy Emanuel Jaques has been the basis of novels, short stories, a documentary, a play, songs, a children's book on the dangers of abduction, and dozens of essays, but never a True Crime book...until now.

The torture and killing of Emanuel over a 12-hour period above a seedy Toronto body rub parlour outraged citizens who demanded change to Toronto's Yonge Street strip, which by 1977 resembled New York's grimy 42nd Street with its many X-rated movie theatres, massage parlours, pornographic bookstores, and prostitutes.

Through a series of original interviews, archival research, and previously unpublished documents, author Robert J. Hoshowsky recreates in detail Emanuel's brutal death, the hunt for the boy's killers, the shocking trial and press coverage, the controversial Yonge Street clean-up, and what remains one of the most sensational True Crime cases in Canadian history.

A True Crime Story

I Am Nisman

Criminal Law - Sentencing, Procedure and Key Offences

What is worse than a child predator? 

Twins who will stop at nothing and the clock is ticking.

A single CyberTip.
A digital trail.
Two brothers hiding a secret.

When Detective Trevor Kane is assigned an Internet Crimes Against Children case, he expects another difficult investigation. What he doesn't expect is where the evidence will lead.

Following usernames, IP addresses, online accounts, search warrants, electronic records, and forensic evidence, Kane begins piecing together a disturbing puzzle. Every new discovery reveals another layer of deception, forcing investigators to confront a horrifying reality: the people responsible may be much closer to their victims than anyone imagined.

But finding the evidence is only the beginning.

Kane must identify victims, uncover the truth, navigate the complexities of a multi-jurisdictional investigation, and build a case capable of putting the perpetrators behind bars. As the investigation unfolds, he sees firsthand how predators manipulate trust, exploit technology, and hide behind seemingly ordinary lives.

Call Us Daddy takes readers inside the investigation from the perspective of the detective who worked the case. It reveals the painstaking process of following a digital trail, uncovering hidden evidence, interviewing victims, and building a criminal case against those who prey on children.

This isn't television crime drama.

There are no scripted clues, convenient breakthroughs, or fictional endings.

This is a true story.

And behind every file, every piece of evidence, and every investigative decision are real children whose lives were forever changed.
Call Us Daddy is a disturbing journey into the world of online child exploitation and the investigators who work behind the scenes to expose it.

Some cases stay with you long after the investigation ends.
This is one of them.

Some cases are solved.
Some cases change you.
This case does both.

Although Call Us Daddy addresses disturbing crimes against children, the narrative does not include gratuitously graphic descriptions of sexual acts or explicit sexual content. The difficult subject matter is presented with restraint and purpose, focusing on the investigation, the evidence, the victims, and the realities of child exploitation rather than sensationalizing the crimes. The book also contains no profanity.

Antique Hunter's Series

The third novel in the “delightful, page-turning” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) Antique Hunter Series finds Freya, Aunt Carole, and friends searching for a missing colleague in picturesque Scotland. Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder...but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).

A Novel

The Antique Hunter's Murder at the Castle

In this hugely original blend of thriller, sci-fi and horror, a trio of Blockbuster employees discover they may be able to change the endings of popular films and, thus, the world around them. The last Blockbuster video store in the United States is hanging on by a thread. And after a crazy night attempting to track down a lost VCR rental to collect the record-setting and internet-famous late fee, three employees, idealistic Eva, cinephile Jerry, and their tyrannical manager Randy, discover that this machine may actually have the power to change the endings of popular films, which, depending on the historical basis of the film, might also be changing the real world around them. Or could this just be an elaborate, increasingly deadly prank? When they begin receiving videotapes and voicemails seemingly depicting their deaths, Eva, Jerry, and Randy scramble to keep the VCR from falling into the wrong hands. And as one action-packed evening begins to seemingly repeat itself (or does it?), scores are settled and unwanted confessions begin to fly, until a Final Girl finally unravels a grand psychological experiment orchestrated at the highest levels of a crumbling social media empire.

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty?December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish.The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime.In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years?Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.
