John Snow is a brilliant inventor who has made millions from his genius in aeronautics. He has everything a man could desire: wealth, family and even a beautiful mistress. But he also has a brain disease, a rare form of epilepsy that threatens his most valuable possession - his mind. Only one doctor may be able to cure it surgically, but at a terrible cost: he will have no memory whatsoever of his past. But the night before he is scheduled to undergo the operation, Snow is found near the Massachusetts General Hospital, dead of a gunshot wound. Did he commit suicide, as the police suspect - or was he murdered?
A question that only forensic psychiatrist Dr Frank Clevenger will be able to answer as he delves into the genius' complex past and tortured relationships to unlock the identity of Snow's killer . . .

Only one quarter into the 21st century and our planet is displaying disturbing symptoms: storms, floods, mud-slides, tornadoes and blizzards afflict the globe's surface, while heatwaves, droughts and deep-freeze are regular occurrences. Not to mention volcanoes and earthquakes. Many believe that mankind's consuming Just for economic growth is fast wrecking the world, while others insist these changes are all part of the planet's natural cycle. Whatever the truth, the most alarming factor is that the Earth is beginning to tilt on its axis, and worldwide panic is looming. As governments, experts, corporations and disruptive forces squabble to be heard, it is up to individuals to seek a solution to the most horrifying geophysical scenario we have ever faced.

In her most traumatic case yet, Harriet Martens finds herself placed in grave danger at the hands of a deft and cunning poisoner. Whilst relaxing with her husband at the Majestic pool one hot August Bank Holiday, Harriet does not expect the refreshing glass of Campari soda at her side to conceal a deadly drug. When she awakes from a doze she is no longer by the water, but in a hospital bed recovering from a near fatal dose of Aconitine. As Harriet makes her slow recovery, she tries to come to terms with the terrible fact that someone wanted to kill her. Even more difficult for her to face is the knowledge that she must find the person responsible, if anything for her own peace of mind. But no sooner has she mustered enough energy to begin making tentative enquiries and initial investigations, than the poisoner strikes again. And this time he is successful... Will Harriet have the strength of mind and body to find the murderer before he finds another victim and before the local population begin to panic? As the murderer's actions become more evident and clues begin to float to the surface, she must put her personal trauma as far behind her as possible, and prepare to reveal the horrible truth...

A highly compelling and dramatic new novel from the bestselling author of Balance of Power

When the body of eleven-year-old Thuy Sen is found in San Francisco Bay, the police swiftly charge Rennell and Payton Price with her grisly murder. A twelve-person jury, helped along by an incompetent lawyer for the defence, is quick to find the brothers guilty - and to sentence them both to die for their crimes.
Twelve years later, Payton is days from his execution, and overworked pro bono lawyer Teresa Peralta Paget, her husband Chris and stepson Carlo, a recent Harvard law graduate, become convinced not only that Rennell didn't receive a fair trial, but that he's innocent. Racing against the clock and against insurmountable legal obstacles, Teresa, Chris and Carlo desperately try and stop the execution of an innocent man.
