Three totally heart-stopping crime thrillers from the multi-million selling, Amazon chart-topping, bestselling author Angela Marsons. A detective hiding dark secrets, Detective Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent.

Play Dead: The dead don’t tell secrets… unless you listen.

Westerley research facility is not for the faint-hearted. Isolated far out in the hills of the Black Country, it studies the effects of death on the human body. But when Detective Kim Stone and her team discover the fresh body of a young woman not on Westerley’s records, it seems a killer has discovered the perfect cover to bury their crime… and they’re not finished yet.

The past seems to hold the key to the killer’s secrets – but can Kim uncover the truth before a twisted, damaged mind claims another victim?

Blood Lines: How do you catch a killer who leaves no trace?

A victim killed with a single stab to the heart appears at first glance to be a robbery gone wrong. A caring, upstanding social worker lost to a senseless act of violence. But for Detective Kim Stone, something doesn’t add up. Then another victim is found with an identical wound.

Desperate to catch the twisted individual, Kim’s focus on the case is threatened when she receives a chilling letter from Dr Alex Thorne, the sociopath who Kim put behind bars. And this time, Alex is determined to hit where it hurts most, bringing Kim face-to-face with the woman responsible for the death of Kim’s little brother – her own mother.

Kim and her team are closing in on the killer. But one of her own could be in mortal danger. Only this time, Kim might not be strong enough to save them…

Dead Souls: The truth was dead and buried… until now.

When a collection of human bones is unearthed during a routine archaeological dig, a Black Country field suddenly becomes a complex crime scene for Detective Kim Stone. As the bones are sorted, it becomes clear that the grave contains more than one victim.

Forced to work alongside Detective Travis, with whom she shares a troubled past, Kim begins to uncover a dark secretive relationship between the families who own the land in which the bodies were found.

Kim is close to revealing the truth behind the murders, yet soon finds one of her own is in jeopardy – and the clock is ticking. Can she solve the case and save them from grave danger – before it’s too late?
