Jan Coverdale's problems began when the police found a body dressed in tramp's clothing, with incongruous green sequins on his lapel. He looked like her half-brother Edward, whose wallet was in his pocket. But hadn't Edward and his wife flown to Peru?

As DCI Webb begins his investigations into this strange case, it is thrown wide open. The true identity of the victim was Guy Marriott, an investigative journalist looking into a story about some mysterious and fraudulent drawings. But why was the body dressed so shabbily and what was the meaning of those nine sequins? What did Guy Marriott know that was dangerous enough to get him killed?

Webb widens the net of his search. But after spending the day in London, Jan and her family return to find their house broken into. The housekeeper is dead and she begins to fear for their lives …

Edward may be missing, but his wallet links him intrinsically to the scene of the crime. Could he be the culprit? And could the descendants of some suspicious old explorers, Langley, Peel and Cody, be suspects? They are all bound by and old expedition in Peru and the missing jewels that haven't been seen since, worth thousands …

DCI Webb decides it's time to track down Edward Langley in Peru to solve the mystery and find his killer before it is too late.

In 1587, over one hundred colonists, desperate for a better life in the new world, disappear without a trace from a settlement on tiny Roanoke Island, just off the coast of North Carolina.

And now, in the present day, tremendous, undulating wails are being heard in the sky all over the world, with no apparent earthly origin.

To Helen Weils, bestselling author and respected academic, history is a realm of observable facts, each one carefully weighed and inspected. So when she encounters Chip Sledd, a conspiracy theorist who insists there's an unimaginable connection between the disappearance of the colonists in 1587 and the strange noises in the sky, she's quick to dismiss his theories as the irrational ramblings of a lunatic. But when black-suited agents begin pursuing her and Chip, Helen soon realizes that the past is a lot more flexible than she ever thought possible — and seeking the truth sometimes means accepting the strangest theory of them all.

More about our featured title, below …

Camille Verhoeven, whose diminutive stature belies his fierce intensity, has reached an unusually content (for him) place in life. he is respected by his colleagues and he and his lovely wife, Irene, are expecting their first child.

But when a new murder case hits his desk — a double torture-homicide that's so extreme that even the most seasoned officers are horrified-Verhoeven is overcome with a sense of foreboding.

As links emerge between the bloody set-piece and at least one past unsolved murder, it becomes clear that a calculating serial killer is at work. The press has a field day, taking particular pleasure in putting Verhoeven under the media spotlight (and revealing uncomfortable details of his personal life).

Then Verhoeven makes a breakthrough discovery: the murders are modeled after the exploits of serial killers from classic works of crime fiction. The double murder was an exquisitely detailed replication of a scene from Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho, and one of the linked cold cases was a faithful homage to James Ellroy's The Black Dahlia.

The media circus reaches a fever pitch when the modus operandi of the killer, dubbed "The Novelist," is revealed. Worse, the Novelist has taken to writing taunting letters to the police, emphasizing that he will stop leaving any clues behind unless Verhoeven remains on the case.

For reasons known only to the killer, the case has become personal. With more literature — inspired murders surfacing, Verhoeven enlists the help of an eccentric bookseller and a professor specializing in crime fiction to try to anticipate his adversary's next move. Then Irene is kidnapped.

With time running out, Verhoeven realizes that all along he's been the unwitting dupe in The Novelist's plans to create an original work of his own. Now, the only person in the world the commandant truly cares for is in danger, and a happy ending seems less and less likely as it becomes clear that the winner of this deadly game may be the man with the least to lose.
