Search for monsters long enough and you might become one …

Thirty years ago Jacob Vance and Raymond Turner committed a gruesome crime that shocked a small West Virginia town. Only nine years old themselves, they kidnapped and murdered four-year-old Josh Baker.

The two boys were quickly arrested, tried and convicted, but were released after serving only eight years in a juvenile detention facility. Because of the heinousness of their crime and the town's thirst for retribution, the government gave Vance and Turner new identities and relocated them to parts unknown.

Now, the victim's father has hired Finn Harding to find his son's killers so he can levy the justice that was denied so long ago. Along the way, Finn clashes with a tenacious US Marshal determined to protect the killers' new identities and crosses paths with an infamous triggerman hired to do what the courts didn't.

What begins as a typical job for Finn quickly spirals into a moral struggle between revenge and forgiveness as he learns details about the lives Vance and Turner have been living.

As he fights with his conscience, Finn learns that monsters truly exist, you can't hide from your past, and some cases should stay buried.

In post-World War II England, former Secret Service operative Mirabelle Bevan becomes embroiled in a new kind of intrigue …

After encountering a social-climbing doctor with a sudden influx of wealth and Romana's sister, who seems far from bereaved and doesn't sound Hungarian, Mirabelle decides to dig deeper into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. Aided by her feisty sidekick — a fellow office worker named Vesta Churchill ("no relation to Winston," as she explains) — Mirabelle unravels a web of evil that stretches from the Brighton beachfront to the darkest corners of Europe.

Deep within the Wood, a young woman lies dead. Not a mark on her body. No trace of her murderer. Only her chipped glass slippers hint at her identity.

The Woodcutter, keeper of the peace between the Twelve Kingdoms of Man and the Realm of the Faerie, must find the maiden's killer before others share her fate. Guided by the wind and aided by three charmed axes won from the River God, the Woodcutter begins his hunt, searching for clues in the whispering dominions of the enchanted unknown.

But quickly he finds that one murdered maiden is not the only nefarious mystery afoot: one of Odin's hellhounds has escaped, a sinister mansion appears where it shouldn't, a pixie dust drug trade runs rampant, and more young girls go missing. Looming in the shadows is the malevolent, power-hungry queen, and she will stop at nothing to destroy the Twelve Kingdoms and annihilate the Royal Fae … unless the Woodcutter can outmaneuver her and save the gentle souls of the Wood.

Someone Must Die
Sharon Potts
A Novel of Suspense
Thomas & Mercer (June 2016)

Publisher synopsis: When her six-year-old nephew vanishes from a neighborhood carnival, Aubrey Lynd's safe, snow-globe world fractures; it shatters when the FBI's investigation raises questions about her own family that Aubrey can't answer.

Aubrey picks apart the inconsistencies to expose the first of many lies: a ransom note — concealed from the FBI — with a terrifying and impossible ultimatum. Aubrey doesn't know what to believe or whom to trust. The abduction is clearly personal — but why would someone play a high-stakes game with the life of a child? The more she presses for answers, the more Aubrey is convinced that her mother is hiding something.

Desperate to save her young nephew, Aubrey must face harsh truths and choose between loyalty to her family and doing the right thing. And she'd better hurry, because vengeance sets its own schedule, and time is running out.

Behind the curtained windows of Victorian Boston is a world of passion, scandal … and murder …

In life, he was the most despised man in Boston, publisher of the town's scurrilous gossip sheet — and buyer and seller of people's most scandalous indiscretions. Now Colonel William d'Arcy Mann lies on the floor of his fashionable hotel suite, the victim of a single gunshot wound to the heart.

Addington Ames came to recover a packet of love letters written by his young cousin, Val, that had fallen into the blackmailing colonel's possession. But when he discovers Mann's corpse instead, Ames suddenly finds himself at the center of a murder inquiry, his name splashed across the town newspapers.

With Val facing public disgrace — on the eve of marriage to an impeccable member of Brahmin society — Ames's only hope is to find the damning missives, which he believes vanished with the killer. With the help of his sister, Caroline, and their boarder, Dr. John MacKenzie, he moves through Boston's most prominent social circles in search of a well-concealed murderer whose final act of violence will leave no life — highborn or low — untouched …

His step-son Alistair is immediately tempted into bad habits by Cara's wastrel brother Trentham and Cara herself is reunited with her first love and briefly reverts to being the flighty chit of her carefree youth. Gil imagines their return to Hanbury will solve the problem, but Sir Gideon Cutteridge follows Cara home and proceeds to scandalize the staid little Spa town.

In the meantime Gil's brother C H Underwood has problems of his own. His man servant Toby is now married to the ex-slave Sabrina. A mysterious American arrives to claim that he actually owns Sabrina and wants to take her back to America. Toby feels that Underwood is not fully invested in saving Sabrina as she was instrumental in trying to poison him two years before, on the instructions of her slave-master. Toby is so frantic to save his beloved wife that he seeks the services of the female assassin, Flora Colfax, whom Underwood had failed to capture the year before. Then Cara's erstwhile lover is found stabbed and Gil is the prime suspect.

Can Underwood save his brother from the gallows, Sabrina from lifelong slavery and the American from the murderous clutches of Flora?
