Where Old Gods meet New… a Legend is Born…
When forensic photographer Kate Gardener steps in for her injured supervisor, the brash American ex-pat finds herself at the scene of a truly brutal murder. The naked, castrated body of a young pharmacist has been found at the edge of Regent's Park.
Gifted with acute sensitivity and a "photographic" memory, Kate is uniquely suited to capturing the details of crime scenes and seeing what others do not see. Something about this crime scene haunts her, though, and her frustration grows as the investigation proceeds.
After the victim is linked to the sensational decade-old murder of a young woman, and a second equally-brutal crime scene is discovered, Kate has to agree with New Scotland Yard's Murder Squad detectives that there is a definite link between the cases. Then crime scene photos go missing -- and a coworker's strange behavior takes center stage -- and Kate begins to fear that the murderer may be close to the case... and about to strike again.
Kate's instincts for solving crimes have always been spot-on... but finding the truth this time may be more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.
The Wild West - a lonely, windswept backdrop of arid plains and mountainous ranges inspiring the fantasies of many with its lawless mythology.

These three stories will inspire your minds and tease your romantic notions of what life was like to be Branded in the West, including a tempting glimpse into the dramatised true story of The Daltons in the Road to Elmwood.
Will you fall in love with a simple cowboy as he roams the ranges, or will your heart be captured by an outlaw, reformed or otherwise?
A jeweler is found dead in his shop, and a parcel of gemstones is missing. It seems like a cut-and-dried burglary to the Met detectives, until a second crime scene is discovered in the bakery next door.
Crime never takes a holiday… and apparently neither does Kate Gardener.
All Forensic Photographer Kate Gardener wants for her Holidays is peace, quiet, and anise cookies. Instead, the American expat's trip to the local Italian bakery places her knee-deep in grand theft and murder two days before her first Christmas in London.
Featuring characters from the popular Kate Gardener Mysteries series
This story takes place between books 2 and 3.
Young physician Linus Hopkins' investigations into a string of East End murders brings him into the sights of a mysterious woman, who burst through the door of his consulting room one evening. His curiosity has placed him in harm's way, and he must now place his life in the hands of a legendary killer of men…
Medusa, loveliest of the Gorgons, cursed by the goddess Athena, bound to walk the Earth alone… her hands, deadly weapons… her gaze, deadly to all who meet it…
It is no accident that the most famous of Gorgons now roams the East End of London. Hardened by centuries of solitude, she is resigned to her fate, and embraces her unending rage… until she meets Linus. Now, she must put aside her bitterness as she joins forces with him to save the women of Whitechapel from a legendary killer of women that is much more than he seems.
As the 20th century looms, and a new kind of criminal is born, the ancient world of Gods and Heroes makes a final stand.
For New Scotland Yard detectives Hagen and Pierce, the finger of motive points to the rowdy bunch trying to stop construction on the site… at least until a second body enters the equation. Now the detectives have two separate cases to juggle as they search for the link between them, if there is one.
Follow the Patterns…
Links are foremost on Kate Gardener’s mind. As she gets closer to the heart of the decade-old murder involving the members of the posh “Cavendish Club”, she realizes she may have bitten off more than she can safely chew. Constantly tailed by a pair of thugs, Kate is shaken when a violent attack nearly takes a friend’s life. The sudden return of Kate’s ex, and Cavendish member, Parris Devereux makes it clear that she’s closer to uncovering the truth than ever before… Too close.
One thing is certain… Evil may wear many masks, but it never stays hidden for long.
A well-known philanthropist and a female escort are found dead, presumably in the throes of passion. Kate Gardener knows there’s a lot that’s not right at this crime scene, and as the intricate case begins to unfold, more suspects – and victims – are added to the mix. This case has dark and dangerous roots, and Kate suspects that not only is nothing in this case what it seems, but it could be the key to a case from the past…
Crack the code… if you dare…
Cryptic writing and coded transactions… As Detective Constable Paul Owens wades through the files of a questionable (and deceased) tattoo artist with ties to the infamous Mary Stoner, he uncovers a secret web of crime stretching across Europe. Filled with trails of money and mayhem, the files also yield a shocking revelation… One that touches lives closer to home, and could shake the halls of Parliament, the Met, and beyond if revealed.
Nothing hides the truth forever.
