THOSE WHO SHALL DIE
A FIRST STATE SUSPENSE NOVEL
The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.
A collective of mystery writers, known as the Society of Fibbers, has captivated thousands with their addictive podcast—catapulting each member into the limelight. But when one of their own is found dead under chilling circumstances, the remaining Fibbers realize their newfound fame may have painted a target on their backs.
Rebecca Stanchion, one of the group’s co-founders, is convinced her friend’s murder is a tragic case of domestic violence—until a sinister attempt on her own life shatters that theory and threatens her family. Meanwhile, Zach Hargrove, a fellow writer, becomes obsessed with the cryptic black cards left at both crime scenes. Each card seems to whisper a warning: the killer is watching.
Is this the work of a fan driven to madness, or has betrayal seeped into the heart of the Society itself? As an annual writers’ conference approaches, Zach and Rebecca race against time to unmask the killer before the Society of Fibbers’ headline appearance turns into a deadly final act.
NONE WITHOUT SIN
A FIRST STATE SUSPENSE NOVEL
Everyone has secrets. Some of them may kill you.
When a prominent real estate mogul in Delaware is brutally murdered, newspaper journalist Brian Wilder is determined to uncover the truth behind the heinous act, particularly the significance of the enigmatic loaf of bread found with the deceased. Reverend Candice Miller, summoned to offer solace to the grieving family, swiftly realizes that the killer has adopted the symbolism of sin eating, a Victorian-era religious ritual, as a distinctive calling card. Is this the work of a religious zealot intent on punishing individuals for their transgressions, or is there something far more sinister at play?
As the number of victims continues to rise, Brian and Candice embark on a perilous journey, navigating a labyrinth of deceit and blackmail in their quest to identify the elusive killer. Throughout their investigation, they remain vigilant, praying that their own past misdeeds won’t inadvertently attract the killer’s attention.
