Gripping crime, mystery and suspense thrillers by Max China

 

THE SISTER

TS latest

CORNWALL, ENGLAND. In the summer of love, 1967, two children witness a murder. One, a seven-year old boy, views it from fifty yards - the other, a young Irish girl, from miles away...

LONDON, 2006. With retirement looming, DCI John Kennedy reopens the only case he never solved: the disappearance of a young nurse, Kathy, twenty-three years earlier.

A cold-case reconstruction tracing Kathy’s last known movements is broadcast on TV. A new witness emerges, and Kennedy, finding himself on the trail of a serial killer, unwittingly sparks a sequence of events which lead him into ever increasing danger.

As the investigation unfolds, it becomes apparent that the murderer is no ordinary adversary. Resourceful and cunning, it seems only the original witnesses from 1967 can stop him.

But they have yet to meet...

The Sister is a fast-paced epic story. Suspenseful, thrilling and compelling, it is a mystery that unravels over time, following the fate of a group of seemingly unconnected people, whose lives have been blighted by a psychopathic killer.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WILLIAM BOULE

While investigating reports of vigilante killings in Scotland, freelance journalist, Carla Black, meets a man named Miller on the London to Edinburgh train, and later finds he holds the key to an unsolved mystery. After drawing a blank on her enquiries, she follows up on a tip-off Miller gave her, and discovers it leads back to the original story she’d intended to write.

With the murderer still at large, she writes a book about him and during her research, has an idea for an even bigger story, but first she must use herself as bait to draw him out of hiding, and accomplish what the police have been unable to do; end his forty year reign of terror.

After printing a handful of posters showing an artist’s impression of the serial killer, she heads out to Morocco with a suitcase full of books unintended for general release – her sole intention to lure him into buying a copy, knowing that if he reads it, he’ll return to England to exact his revenge on her. She never bargained for what happened next...
