A Maine police chief doesn't complete a murder investigation. Two decades later, his daughter, now a cop herself, reopens the case to uncover a disturbing suspect: her own brother. Soon there is another death.

For Alice Blanchard, this bare-bones synopsis of her first novel, Darkness Peering, lacks an essential element - the humanity of the slain. 'A lot of books treat the victims as gimmicks, as plot devices,' she says. 'To bring home how horrific murder is, it's important that the victim is someone you might know. Murder is not something glib.
American rights for Darkness Peering were sold for $1,500,000. Foreign rights have already been sold in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Japan and Sweden and a movie option has been sold.

The fascinating new book by the author of the award-winning bestseller The Jigsaw Man

Forensic psychologist Paul Britton can 'walk through the minds' of violent criminals, seeing the world through their eyes. No surprise, then, that the police have called on him to help with many high-profile investigations.
Paul Britton's newest book, Picking Up the Pieces, reveals the psychological and forensic foundations upon which he based his expertise. For twenty-five years he has interviewed, assessed and treated people with damaged and broken minds. Some were responsible for terrible crimes, others were stopped before it was too late. The answers aren't hidden at bloody crime scenes, but locked away in the recesses of someone's consciousness.
In this companion volume to The Jigsaw Man, Paul Britton reveals the heart of his work and shows it to be both fascinating and provocative.
