After the sudden death of her husband, Christine Harvey would do anything to give her precious children Molly and Ryan a fresh start. The huge clifftop house she’s hastily purchased has the most breath-taking ocean view she’s ever seen. Surely here they can someday be happy again? But Christine had no idea that her family’s new dream house is right next door to where a child was abducted and murdered. And nobody told her that the father – who was the main suspect in the police investigation before it collapsed – still lives there.

Der einzige Obdachlose der Insel wurde erschlagen. Tilla Flock, die gerade ihren Job beim Werbeblatt gekündigt hat, will seinen Mörder jedoch um jeden Preis finden. Zusammen mit ihrem Freund Hark Herforth, einem Pfarrer auf Langzeiturlaub, befragt sie die Inselbewohner. Ein entscheidender Hinweis führt die beiden auf die Nachbarinsel Baltrum. Als ein Brandanschlag auf die Redaktion des Werbeblatts verübt wird, ahnen Tilla und Hark, dass dieser Fall für sie vielleicht gefährlicher werden könnte als gedacht.

Tracking serial killers isn’t Kai Cooke’s kuleana—or thing. So when the mother of a rape and murder victim abducted near Barking Sands Beach begs him to find the brute, Kai reluctantly declines. The twenty-year-old case of three slain women is on Kaua‘i and the local force isn’t likely to cooperate with an O‘ahu PI. Then another woman fitting the victims’ profiles goes missing and the cold case appears to turn warm. Is the Barking Sands Strangler back?

Gage might go mad. With most of inland Oregon enduring a record-setting heatwave, the hordes descend on Barnacle Bluffs seeking cooler ocean air, and it's all the curmudgeonly private investigator can do to keep from shooting somebody. What's the harm in one fewer tourist, anyway? Yet when a desperate young woman shows up claiming her depressed husband has gone missing, Gage will need all of his wits to find the man before something terrible happens.

Like all great mysteries this begins with a corpse, five in fact, five and a bit if you count the severed head. This particular case has remained undisclosed for almost three decades. Sworn to secrecy, never to divulge the truth while the living were still at risk of reprisals. I've refrained from publishing or even speaking of those Regent's Park murders. It's only safe to do so now due to the fact that those involved are either dead or never to be found again. It remains one of the most astonishing moments in Holmes' career and exposes a shocking revelation about his character.
