New! Dark Moon Island

Horrific events took place years ago in Dark Moon Bay, a rugged cove on a lonely island in the wild Labrador Sea.

The only house there is owned by James Drake, a wealthy man with sinister secrets who pretends to be a generous patron of young talent.

Calista Gates, police chief in northern Newfoundland, suspects Drake of being
involved in the disappearance of a 19-year-old woman three years ago. She
believes he exploits young people for his own purposes. When she confronts him with her investigations on Dark Moon Island, she makes a macabre discovery.

Suddenly the past bursts open like a festering wound. Why did a family with seven children die in a house fire forty years ago? What does James Drake know about the bodies that Calista’s team finds in gruesome graves?

Drake is an influential man. As Calista tightens the noose around his neck, she discovers a brutal truth that is beyond anybody’s imagination.

New! Cold Dread

A brutal assault in broad daylight. Young snowmobilers stalking a polar bear discover a bloodied woman unconscious in the snow.

Calista Gates, the police chief of a remote coastal town in Newfoundland, is faced with a puzzle. Why didn`t anyone who lives nearby in the fishing cove report the incident despite having a clear view of the spot where it took place?

Two days later Calista discovers the body of a local troublemaker who hates her. Bullets are lodged between his ribs.

As if this weren’t enough, Calista’s lover, Gerald Hynes, goes missing in the freezing cold of subarctic Labrador. He was last seen around a mysterious crater where a demon is said to swallow intruders.

Beside herself with worry, Calista remembers a cold case from eight years earlier. That summer, four women trekking in the exact same area vanished without a trace. Why did Gerald go there? Are all these incidents somehow connected?

Calista, under enormous pressure, realizes too late that someone is betraying her—and it could destroy her life.

New! Missing in the Dark

Blood on an ax in the snow. A blood-spattered manuscript on the table.  

From a lonely cabin in the woods, a writer vanishes without a trace. Her latest book is about a true crime case: the cruel death of twelve-year-old Becca, still unsolved after twenty-three years. Does the writer know the killer?

Detective Sergeant Calista Gates is haunted by the case. Becca was her best childhood friend. When Becca was found lifeless, gagged and tied to a tree in the searing summer heat of British Columbia’s interior, the girl’s suffering shook the public. And it devastated Calista.

Now it is winter and Calista wants to lure the killer back to the crime scene in the snow-covered hills around the city of Kamloops. She’s convinced he’s hiding near where Becca’s body was found. And not far from the missing writer’s cabin.

This time, Calista wants to catch him with bait he won’t be able to resist: her. A risky and dangerous experiment that nearly destroys everything she has believed.
