  CATCH ME WHEN I FALL

  You’re a whirlwind. You’re a success. You live life on the edge. But who’ll catch you when you fall?

  Holly Krauss lives life in the fast lane. A successful young businesswoman with a stable home life, she is loved and admired by all who meet her. But that’s only one side of Holly. The other sees her take regular walks on the wild side – where she makes evermore reckless mistakes.

  And when those mistakes start mounting up, the two sides of Holly blur together and her life quickly spirals out of control. She thinks she’s being stalked, someone is demanding money from her – threats lurk around every corner and those closest to Holly are running out of patience.

  But is she alone responsible for what’s happening? Are her fears just the paranoia of an illness – or intimations of very real danger? And if she can no longer rely on her own judgement, who can she trust to catch her when she falls?

  LOSING YOU

  What is worse than your child going missing? Your child going missing and nobody believing you…

  Nina Landry has given up city life for the isolated community of Sandling Island, lying off the bleak east coast of England. At night the wind howls. Sometimes they are cut off by the incoming tide. For Nina though it is home. It is safe.

  But when Nina’s teenage daughter Charlie fails to return from a sleepover on the day they’re due to go on holiday, the island becomes a different place altogether. A place of secrets and suspicions. Where no one – friends, neighbours or the police – believes Nina’s instinctive fear that her daughter is in terrible danger. Alone, she undergoes a frantic search for Charlie. And as day turns to night, she begins to doubt not just whether they’ll leave the island for their holiday – but whether they will ever leave it again.

  UNTIL IT’S OVER (available in hardback)

  Dead. Unlucky.

  Young and athletic, London cycle courier Astrid Bell is bad luck – for other people. First Astrid’s neighbour Peggy Farrell accidentally knocks her off her bike – and not long after is found bludgeoned to death in an alley. Then a few days later, Astrid is asked to pick up a package from a wealthy woman called Ingrid de Soto, only to find the client murdered in the hall of her luxurious home.

  For the police it’s more than coincidence. For Astrid and her six housemates it’s the beginning of a nightmare: suspicious glances, bitter accusations, fallings out and a growing fear that the worst is yet to come…

  Because if it’s true that bad luck comes in threes – who will be the next to die?
