A Dark and Twisted Tide
 

Police sergeant Lacey Flint thinks she’s safe.

 

She thinks her new job with the river police, and her new life on a house boat, will keep her away from danger. But she’s wrong.

 

When Lacey discovers a body in the water, and sinister offerings appear in her home, she fears someone is trying to expose her darkest secret.

 

And the river is the last place she should be.

 

‘Bolton is a gripping storyteller, with fine, haunted characters’
PETER JAMES

 

Sharon’s standalone novels are:

 
Sacrifice
 

Consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton has moved to remote Shetland to be with her husband. To have a family. Not for this . . .

 

In the peat soil near her new home she uncovers a perfectly preserved woman’s body.
Runic symbols are carved into her skin. Her heart has been cut out.

 

But as Tora begins to ask questions around the island, she receives her first threat . . .

 

‘One of the best thrillers ever’
SOPHIE HANNAH

 
Awakening
 

You know that feeling? The one that makes you want to glance over your shoulder?

 

All Clara Benning wants is a peaceful life as a wildlife vet, and to hide her disfigurement from the world.

 

But now she doesn’t have a choice.

 

Because a man has died from a suspicious snake bite, and Clara’s concern leads her to the abandoned house at the end of the lane, and an unspeakable tragedy that occurred half a century ago.

 

‘A cracking story’
Guardian

 
Blood Harvest
 

Sometimes I wish that she’d just leave me in peace . . .

 

Psychologist Evi is worried about one of her patients – a woman who is convinced her little girl is still alive. Two years after the fire that burnt their house down.

 

Meanwhile, the new vicar in town is feeling strangely unwelcome. Disturbing events seem designed to scare him away.

 

And a young boy keeps seeing a strange, solitary girl playing in the churchyard. Who is she and what is she trying to tell him?

 

‘Spine-tingling suspense’
LISA GARDNER
