The Dark Shore
          Was it an accident that befell Sophia, millionaire Jon Tower’s first wife, that weekend in Cornwall? When newly wed Sarah Hamilton arrives in England, she expects a brief stay in London before she returns to Canada and a bright future with her husband Jon. But already Jon’s estranged son Justin has changed the game by asking if he can return to Canada with them and Sarah becomes increasingly unsettled by Jon’s insistence that they visit the house in Cornwall where he lived with Sophia. Buryan is a beautiful house with breathtaking views and cliff walks and Sarah momentarily forgets her misgivings. But all too quickly Jon’s mood seems to shift, he becomes secretive, short tempered and withdrawn and Sarah realises that Jon is inexorably drawn to this house because he is trapped in the past. Too late, however, to stop a nightmarish replay of the mysterious events, which led to Sophia’s death ten years before. 

The Waiting Sands
          'Dearest Raye,’ Decima had written.’I’m writing to ask if you can possibly come up to Ruthven for a few days. My twenty- first birthday falls next Sunday, and it would be such a relief if you could stay until after the celebration dinner party which Charles is giving for me on Saturday night. Please come, Raye. I may be behaving very stupidly by panicking like this, but I would feel so much less frightened if I knew you were beside me at Ruthven till after midnight on Saturday.’ Dependable Rachel Lord hasn’t heard from her friend Decima for over two years when out of the blue she is invited to Ruthven, the fairy tale Scottish castle that Decima will inherit on her coming of age. Her arrival is met with relief by Decima who is convinced her husband, Charles, means her harm. Is Decima in her right mind? Or is Rachel being duped by her worldlier friend? As the eve of the 21st birthday celebration approaches, a shocking event leaves Rachel in no doubt.

Call in the Night
           'Please come, Claire. Oh Claire, I’m in such dreadful terrible trouble I don’t know what to do – Claire, you just have to come, please – I don’t know what to do -’ 'Gina listen! Where are you, for God’s sake? What’s happened? What – Gina – are you there? Gina -’ But there was nothing there any more, just that long empty silence, and then across a distance of three thousand miles I heard the soft stealthy click of the receiver being replaced.’ From half way round the world American Clare Sullivan obeys a desperate summons from her glamorous sister Gina and flies to Paris. But when she arrives, there is no sign of Gina. Her sister’s trail leads Claire to London and to Garth Cooper – a boyfriend of Gina’s – who seems to have a secret to hide. Claire still hopes that the phone call and the disappearance act are just another of her sister’s melodramatic stunts, but as time passes she can’t help feeling something much more sinister is going on.
