A Novel

Such a Clever Girl

SHE ESCAPED ONCE. NOW IT WANTS HER BACK. Everyone living on the island feels it. There are no visitors anymore. No children. No one willing to set foot there. Then Grace arrives. She's come to learn the truth about her birth parents and, in her search for answers, she soon feels the presence too - something lurking beneath the surface. The community is secretive, but one thing is clear: they are scared for her - scared of her. Because her arrival has awakened something they thought dead and buried. Now, it knows she's here. It's watching her. And it wants to keep her. A haunting, atmospheric modern Gothic horror tale set on a lonely isle off the Irish coast, Grace is perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Adam Nevill and Catriona Ward.

The Girl In Cell A

She shot her husband on a crowded Melbourne street.

Witnesses heard her shout, "I did it!"

Then she pleaded not guilty.

The case ignites the city. Newspapers circle. Society whispers. And inside the courtroom, two of Melbourne's fiercest legal minds go to war: a principled prosecutor chasing justice, and a flamboyant defence showman who plays to the gallery.

At the centre stands Kathleen Fraser: volatile, defiant, and impossible to ignore. Is she a cold-blooded killer? A woman dismissed as "hysterical" by her time? Or someone pushed beyond endurance in a world designed to silence her?

The Dangerous Wife resurrects a true crime murder trial that once gripped Australia. Now reconstructed in full from the original evidence. Court transcripts, depositions, private letters, shorthand notes, and hundreds of newspaper reports bring the testimony, contradictions, and turning points to life with the pace of a legal thriller.

What you'll get as a reader:

-A public shooting, a shocking confession, and a not-guilty plea that changes everything.
-A courtroom battle where strategy, reputation, and performance can decide a verdict.
-Evidence you can weigh for yourself, drawn from primary sources and contemporary reporting.

A vivid look at how class, gender, and public opinion shaped justice in Australia. Gripping, unsettling, and meticulously sourced, this is true crime for readers who want the law in action and a legal showdown where the stakes are life and death.

"A gripping true crime story told with the insight of a forensic legal mind." -Roy Maloy, true crime history

M. J. Checketts is the author of The Dangerous Wife: A True Legal Thriller, a meticulously researched and compelling narrative that resurrects one of Australia's most sensational courtroom battles. Drawing on his deep legal experience as a former senior partner of a major Australian law firm, he brings unmatched insight into the human drama and procedural intricacies of real-world justice.

Trained in England and based in Melbourne, Checketts spent his legal career advising on complex matters and now serves on several professional services boards. His writing blends crisp narrative pacing with the analytical precision of a seasoned lawyer, capturing both the emotional stakes and forensic detail that define high-profile trials. The Dangerous Wife is his first work of narrative non-fiction and reflects his commitment to telling true legal stories that engage, inform, and challenge readers.

Penitence

Sunny Randall

Boston PI Sunny Randall investigates a popular book critic on a mean streak . . . only for her to wind up dead, in the latest thriller in Robert B. Parker’s bestselling series. World famous author&nbsp;Melanie Joan Hall asks for Sunny's help in tracking down Book Babe, the screen-name of an enormously popular book reviewer, who has trolled her with a deeply insulting one-star review. This usually wouldn’t matter except that Book Babe has thousands of followers, and her unwarranted blast has Melanie's publisher threatening to pull all her books. But Sunny's investigation reveals that the reviewer and Melanie have a rich history—in fact, she may even have good reason to hate the torn-up author. And when Book Babe suddenly turns up dead, casting Melanie as a possible suspect, Sunny finds herself in a complicated web, which, if she can't untangle fast enough, might just put a target on her back.

Forensics For Dummies

The highly-anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black's stunning adult debut, Book of Night. Night is made of shadows and shadows have teeth. Charlie Hall, glue trap for disaster, crooked from the day she was born, who'd never met a bad decision she wasn't willing to double down on, may have finally met her match. After defeating Salt and stealing her lover-the powerful shadow, Vince-back from under the noses of the powerful Cabal leaders, she thought she'd won. Agreeing to become the Hierophant and risking her life hunting down dangerous rogue shadows seemed a small price to pay if she got to do it while being tethered to Vince. But Vince is no longer the man she loved. The tethering process wiped away his memories of the last year, leaving only Red-the ruthless shadow who spent years as a killer for a cruel, mercurial billionaire. Red doesn't remember Charlie and doesn't like her. So when Charlie is ordered to track down the Blight responsible for a massacre at a local church, she's worse than just alone, heartbroken, and outmatched. She's vulnerable. In a world where shadows have wills of their own, the question isn't just how to survive. It's how to protect yourself from the on thing you can never escape-your own shadow.

La Morgue: Die vergessenen Toten von Paris und die spektakuläre Geburt der modernen Forensik&nbsp;In 'La Morgue' verbindet die britische Historikerin Dr. Catriona Byers fundierte Wissenschafts- und Kulturgeschichte mit historischem True Crime und zeigt, wie das städtische Leichenschauhaus von Paris zwischen 1804 und 1907 zum Schmelztiegel der modernen Kriminologie, Rechtsmedizin und Stadtgesellschaft wurde. Entlang der akribisch rekonstruierten Lebenswege von zwölf Toten entfaltet das Sachbuch ein Panorama des 19. Jahrhunderts - einer Epoche, in der die französische Metropole zwischen Revolutionen, Seuchen und städtebaulicher Radikalisierung das moderne Leben hervorbrachte.Morbides Theater und die Geburtsstunde des True CrimeÜber ein Jahrhundert lang bildete die Pariser Morgue direkt im Schatten von Notre-Dame einen der meistbesuchten öffentlichen Orte Europas. Bis zu 50.000 Schaulustige drängten sich an Spitzentagen vor den bodentiefen Schaufenstern, hinter denen unbekannte Leichen auf zwölf gekühlten Marmortischen zur Schau gestellt wurden. Was von der Polizeipräfektur ursprünglich zur Identifizierung namenloser Toter eingerichtet worden war, entwickelte sich rasch zu einer weltberühmten Touristenattraktion: Fliegende Händler verkauften vor den Toren Waffeln, Kastanien und Eis, während die Morgue in internationalen Reiseführern als makabres Spektakel gelistet wurde. Gleichzeitig begründeten die detaillierten Zeitungsberichte über zerstückelte Leichen und ungeklärte Mordtaten die moderne Faszination am Grauen und den Siegeszug des True-Crime-Genres.Wissenschaft auf dem Seziertisch: Geburtsort der modernen RechtsmedizinHinter den Schauräumen vollzog sich zeitgleich ein revolutionärer epistemischer Wandel:<ul><li>Pionierfeld der Kriminalistik: Führende Gerichtsmediziner wie Alphonse Devergie und Paul Brouardel sowie Kriminologen wie Alexandre Lacassagne nutzten die Toten für bahnbrechende Autopsie- und Toxikologie-Lehrgänge.</li><li>Systematisierung der Identifikation: Alphonse Bertillon entwickelte an den Toten und Inhaftierten der Morgue das weltweit erste standardisierte System polizeilicher Anthropometrie und Post-mortem-Fotografie (Bertillonage).</li><li>Mikrokosmos der Moderne: Die Toten spiegeln die sozialen Brüche der Ära - von Opfern des rasanten Bahnverkehrs über verzweifelte Suizide im Zuge von Urbanisierung und Verelendung bis hin zu Opfern spektakulärer Gewaltverbrechen.</li><li>Muse der Weltliteratur: Das Institut inspirierte Generationen von Schriftstellern und Dichtern, von Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens und Émile Zola bis hin zu Gottfried Benns expressionistischem Zyklus.</li></ul>&nbsp;3 Gründe, dieses Buch zu lesen<ol><li>Verbindung von Makro- und Mikrogeschichte: Byers erzählt die Modernisierung von Paris nicht aus der Perspektive der Herrschenden, sondern anhand vergessener Einzelschicksale, die auf den Marmortischen der Morgue endeten </li><li>Fundierte forensische Fachhistorie: Anschaulich, archivgestützt und ohne Sensationshascherei wird gezeigt, wie Rechtsmedizin, Kriminalanthropologie und Identifikationstechniken im 19.

In ihrer Forschung spezialisierte sie sich auf die Geschichte der Leichenhäuser von Paris und New York im Zeitraum von 1864 bis 1914. Sie wurde von der BBC als 'Next Generation Thinker 2024' nominiert und vermittelt medizinhistorische Themen einem breiten Publikum (u. a. via Instagram unter @heymorguegirl).

Entlang von zwölf ausgewählten Todesfällen analysiert Byers die Morgue als Knotenpunkt von öffentlichem Spektakel, städtischem Wandel und der Entstehung von Kriminologie, Forensik und Rechtsmedizin.Warum zählte das Pariser Leichenschauhaus Zehntausende Besucher täglich?Die Pariser Morgue auf der Île de la Cité war frei zugänglich. Hinter großen Glasfenstern wurden unbekannte Wasserleichen und Mordopfer aufgebahrt, damit Angehörige oder Bekannte sie identifizieren konnten. Durch die Berichterstattung der Massenpresse wandelte sich der Ort rasch zu einem urbanen Treffpunkt für Voyeure, Touristen und Literaten.Welche Bedeutung hatte die Morgue für die Entstehung der Kriminalistik?Die Einrichtung diente den führenden Gerichtsmedizinern der Pariser Universität als Forschungs- und Ausbildungsstätte. Hier wurden standardisierte Obduktionsprotokolle entwickelt, Kälteanlagen zur Leichenkonservierung erprobt und Methoden wie die Bertillonage (anthropometrische Erfassung) sowie die forensische Fotografie etabliert.Welche Fälle werden im Buch behandelt?Byers schildert unter anderem den Fall der 'Frau in Stücken' (Jeanne Marie Le Manach), den sensationellen Prozess um die 'Blutige Kiste' (Gouffé, Michel Eyraud und Gabrielle Bompard), postmortale Fotodokumentationen anonymer Tagelöhner sowie die gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen von Suizid und Großstadtelend im 19. Jahrhundert.

The Dog Park Murders

A cozy, seasonal romance-mystery in which a grumpy café owner teams up with a sunshiny pet groomer to solve a murder that's shocked the small town of Labrador Falls. First book in the Dog Park Murders miniseries that's a perfect blend of Only Murders in the Building and The Pumpkin Spice Café. A killer has been unleashed in their small town… Juliette Macintyre has never met a dog she didn’t love. For one thing, dogs don’t judge, unlike the human residents of Labrador Falls. Most locals look at her with suspicion because her father was once a dirty cop, even though Juliette is upbeat, helpful, and the best pet groomer around. She just needs to prove it…starting with new resident Joel Cunningham, an enigma wrapped in a checked shirt and a scowl. Joel runs the Brewed Awakening café, where the coffee is as smooth as Joel is surly. He doesn’t serve pumpkin spice, he doesn’t chitchat, and he claims he doesn’t like dogs. Yet when Juliette stumbles upon a dead body in the dog park, strangled with one of her custom leashes, Joel becomes an unexpected ally. He has no intention of opening up, to either his cute neighbor or the foster pup she foists on him. But he can’t let a biased detective frame Juliette for murder. Whoever killed the widely loathed Maurice Allsop may be desperate enough to strike again. If they can just ignore their chemistry and focus on the clues, Juliette and Joel might be able to solve the case—before somebody else bites the dust… For fans of... <ul> <li>Grumpy/Sunshine Romance</li> <li>Small-Town Cozy Mystery</li> <li>Amateur Sleuths</li> <li>Twisty-Turny Whodunits</li> <li>Pet Sidekicks</li></ul> "With an endearing cast, a charming small town, and two highly likable main leads, THE DOG PARK MURDERS provides a light, cozy mystery that hits all the right notes, especially for dog lovers!"&nbsp; —Fresh Fiction
