The Shell Seekers

Artist's daughter Penelope Keeling can look back on a full and varied life: a Bohemian childhood in London and Cornwall, an unhappy wartime marriage, and the one man she truly loved. She has brought up three children - and learned to accept each of them as they are. Yet she is far too energetic and independent to settle sweetly into pensionedoff old-age. And when she discovers that her most treasured possession, her father's painting, The Shell Seekers, is now worth a small fortune, it is Penelope who must make the decisions that will determine whether her family can survive, or be split apart.

Winter's End

As a violent storm rages over the small town of Winter's End, Sheriff Dale Townsend comes upon a chilling scene: a young man, knives in his hands and the body of a woman at his feet. But the enigmatic suspect refuses to answer any questions, and, bizarrely, there is no forensic evidence to link him to the crime. So Sheriff Townsend calls his childhood friend Alex Rourke back to his sleepy home town in Maine. After an absence of nearly twenty years, Rourke - ex-FBI interrogator turned private eye - is an expert in navigating the twisted pathways of murderous minds. But this killer is twisted and very, very clever.
