The Missing
The woman missing for five years.
The Crime Scene Investigator who finds her.
And the serial killer who wants them both dead ...

Every Pretty Thing
Ex-FBI profiler Darby McCormick is contacted by a former colleague.
Jackson Cooper is not the type to ask anyone for help, but he's on the trail of a woman who's been missing for twenty years. She was one of the first victims of a serial killer who has been carving a dark path across America for decades. And he may have tracked the monster here to Montana.
But when Darby arrives, Jackson Coop has vanished. Something is very wrong - and with no witnesses, no clues and no one to help, Darby is all alone and running out of time

Every Three Hours
Nine a.m. on a freezing January morning. Darby McCormick queues for the metal detectors at Boston Police Headquarters. A man at the front pulls out a 9mm handgun, fires into the air and takes a woman hostage.
In his bag, is a block of plastic explosive. Throughout the city, homes, offices and cars, have been rigged to explode. Every three hours. Until he gets what he wants. And he wants Darby to be his mouthpiece.
She has no choice. But as she pieces together the sinister conspiracy that the bomber wants exposed, she understands that no one will walk away unharmed.

The Dead Room
A mother and her son have been executed in their home and fingerprint matches show their attacker died twenty years ago.
But how can dead serial killers return to haunt the present?
The answers lie in the darkest shadows of The Dead Room.
When CSI Darby McCormick is called to the crime scene, it's one of the most gruesome she's ever seen. But the forensic evidence is even more disturbing: someone watched the murder unfold from woodland behind the house - and the killer died in a shoot-out two decades earlier.
The deeper Darby digs, the more horrors come to light. Her prime suspect is revealed as a serial killer on an enormous scale, with a past that's even more shocking than his crimes, thanks to a long-held secret that could rock Boston's law enforcement to its core.
Is it possible to steal an identity? Or are dead men walking in Darby's footsteps? The line between the living and the dead has never been finer.
