Coldren’s Prison

About Coldren’s Prison

Had it not been the worst f*cking day of my life, I would have woken up to the smell of fresh-roasted coffee, warm bread straight out of the oven, and birds chirping as if I were living in one of those nauseating happily-ever-after fairy tales.

Instead, I woke up in some prison, with my arms chained to a wall and blood gushing down my face. Stained clothes and an immense pounding in my head caused concern for my longevity. I had no idea who put me there, nor why they left me in this state. The only way I had a chance to get out was to pull myself together and consider who hated my guts enough to lock me up like this. Admittedly, I made a couple dozen enemies in my life who wouldn’t mourn my death and one of them has made this eerily personal. The big question is, who?

Manhunt (An Agent Paul Richter Thriller)

About Manhunt (An Agent Paul Richter Thriller)

First in a series about a British navy veteran who goes to work for the secret service to bring down a defector threatening Britain’s national security.

Nobody is ever above suspicion in the ‘wilderness of mirrors’ that is the world of intelligence, but when a senior officer goes bad it still hurts. When that senior officer can’t be identified, it hurts even more. Conventional detective work to unmask him is going to be too slow, and probably unreliable, so an alternative strategy has to be formulated. With the security of Britain’s most secret computer system at stake, and trust a commodity in short supply, a deception operation is set in train to flush out the traitor. Paul Richter, an unemployed ex-Naval aviator, is the unwitting and ultimately expendable bait in the trap. But as the net closes around the traitor in France, a female Russian intelligence officer flees Moscow and the evidence she brings points the finger of suspicion in a very different direction. With time running out, and nobody he can trust, Richter finds himself battling against both the British security establishment and trained teams of Russian assassins with orders to kill both him and the woman he’s trying to protect.

Dark River Inn : A Troubled Spirits Novel

About Dark River Inn : A Troubled Spirits Novel

If you’re searching for a paranormal thriller you’ll be reading all night, grab Dark River Inn-the first in a series of stand-alone haunted mysteries inspired by true crimes.

It’s the day of his ex-wife’s wedding and Dan, a detective on leave, navigates winding mountain roads to put some distance between himself and his past. His destination: a desolate cabin. A refuge, or perhaps a prison of his own making, as he seeks solace from the life that another man has seamlessly stepped into.

But Dan’s solitude is quickly shattered when he peers through a weathered telescope. There, amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, he becomes an unwilling witness to a malevolent act—a young woman seized by violence and yanked into the dark forest.

A surge of adrenaline propels Dan from his sanctuary, plunging him into a relentless quest to unveil the truth. Yet, like the echoes of a chilling scream fading into the dense woods, all signs of the horrific event dissipate. Law enforcement remains oblivious, files barren of any reports, and the forest’s breath returns to an eerie stillness.

Dan is at a loss, deeply disturbed by the abduction, but unable to follow any trail in search of the young woman.

That is until he chances upon a tattered missing person’s poster and the pieces of his nightmarish puzzle begin to assemble. The face staring back at him is that of Ivy Trent. He’s certain, beyond reason, that this Ivy is the same woman he witnessed being abducted only days prior. A conviction as firm as gravestones, if it weren’t for one impossible detail— Ivy vanished a decade before.

As tendrils of obsession coil around his sanity, Dan embarks on a harrowing journey. Flickering specters and long-buried secrets claw their way to the surface. The boundary between this world and the next thins, and Dan begins to wonder if a dead girl is guiding him to the truth.

For those who seek a tale that defies the veil between life and death, a haunting story inspired by a true crime, Dark River Inn awaits you.

Due North: A Canadian Plane Crash Mystery (Butterscotch Jones Mysteries Book 1)

About Due North: A Canadian Plane Crash Mystery (Butterscotch Jones Mysteries Book 1)

Welcome to the Gulch… funny things happen in the middle of nowhere.

Butterscotch Jones thought that living in the far north provided enough peril to contend with until a private plane crashed outside her hometown of McIntyre’s Gulch, Manitoba, Canada. The treasure inside the plane soon attracted both the RCMP and the Russian Mafia. For a town built upon isolation and secrecy, the citizens faced very public exposure.

“A light, fun read with an eccentric cast of characters who bring the village of MacIntyre’s Gulch to delightful life.”
—Lisa Cach, author of “Wake Unto Me”

McIntyre’s Gulch has long provided refuge to those needing to disappear off the face of the planet. Most donning red hair, the residents of the Gulch prefer to say to one another what little they have to say in a mish-mash of English and Gaelic. Unless conversing with Whiskey Jack in which the conversation is likely to just be a mish-mash. There’s comfort in the form of warmth, food and drink to be had at the Lonesome Moose, the downtown saloon and community meeting place that constitutes the bulk of downtown. There’s comfort in the knowledge that Big John will be opining vociferously from behind the bar on the latest news flown into town by the Wings with the night’s delivery.

Due North is the first book in Melanie Jackson’s bestselling Butterscotch Jones Mystery Series.
