Private Investigator Alexandra Best has taken on a strange case. Norman Price calls for her help after his daughter goes missing. But for Best this case must be solved against a ticking clock. She has six weeks to find Caroline Price before she loses her inheritance. If she fails, hundreds of thousands of pounds will fall into the hands of Jeremy Laver — Caroline's cousin and Alexandra's chief suspect.

As she begins her investigations, a private diary, written in a strange code, becomes Alexandra's primary clue. But even after she cracks the code, it leads her to more questions than answers. Why didn't Norman want the police involved? Why was she only called now, when Caroline had already been missing for two weeks? Is Norman telling her everything he knows about his reclusive daughter?

And who is the mysterious "M" who appears in Caroline's journals?

Bennie Rosato looks exactly like her identical twin, Alice Connolly, but the darkness in Alice's soul makes them two very different women. Or at least that's what Bennie believes, until she finds herself buried alive at the hands of her twin.

Meanwhile, Alice takes over Bennie's life, impersonating her at work and even seducing her boyfriend in order to escape the deadly mess she has made of her own life. But Alice underestimates Bennie and the evil she has unleashed in her twin's psyche, as well as Bennie's determination to stay alive long enough to exact revenge.

Bennie must face the twisted truth that she is more like her sister Alice than she could have ever imagined, and by the novel's shocking conclusion, Bennie finds herself engaged in a war she cannot win — with herself.

A shocking defection draws Herbie back to the most treacherous city on earth: Berlin …

The younger British spies think of Big Herbie Kruger as a middle-aged relic from the early days of the Cold War. Only a few people know that Kruger is one of England's most important agents — a quick-witted devil with more power than anyone knows.

In 1955, Kruger established a German intelligence network with an unparalleled reach into the Soviet Union. Years later, he feels a twinge of sadness when he learns that his old KGB rival has run afoul of state security, and been forced to take his own life. But Kruger doesn't count on the dead man's lieutenant. Rather than face Moscow's wrath, the Russian defects into Kruger's hands — a bit of good fortune that soon calls up all sorts of old ghosts. In Berlin, the divided city, Herbie Kruger is about to be split in half.

The community of Prosperous, Maine has always thrived when others have suffered. Its inhabitants are wealthy, its children's future secure. It shuns outsiders. It guards its own. And at the heart of Prosperous lie the ruins of an ancient church, transported stone by stone from England centuries earlier by the founders of the town …

But the death of a homeless man and the disappearance of his daughter draw the haunted, lethal private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous. Parker is a dangerous man, driven by compassion, by rage, and by the desire for vengeance. In him the town and its protectors sense a threat graver than any they have faced in their long history, and in the comfortable, sheltered inhabitants of a small Maine town, Parker will encounter his most vicious opponents yet.

Charlie Parker has been marked to die so that Prosperous may survive.

Prosperous, and the secret that it hides beneath its ruins …
