Rape victim Melissa Warner is determined to bring down Charlie Mendez, a wealthy predator who escaped justice for his brutal crimes. But Mendez is protected by a powerful drug cartel in Mexico, and they'll stop at nothing to silence Melissa. As Lock investigates, he uncovers a sinister plot that goes far beyond one man's crimes.

From the glittering beaches of Santa Barbara to the dangerous streets of Mexico, this high-octane thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times Bestseller (Orphan X) 'Sean Black writes with the pace of Lee Child, and the heart of Harlan Coben.' New York Times Bestseller, Joseph Finder (Paranoia)

Book Description
In a white trash Arizona town a war is coming, a battle for territory between rival drug cartels. Both sides refuse to be taken out easily, but when one seeks help from the blackest of magic, something else comes through too: The Shadow Man, a demon of ancient evil who seeks more than just a stretch of the Arizona border, is set free. He wishes to open the gates to his Kingdom, and to bring suffering and chaos. In a walk-in freezer, a man with loose ties to the cartels gets a glimpse at the approaching darkness and is left poisoned by it. His only hope is a young woman named Adriana, and her grandmother. But when the Shadow Man sets his sights on Adriana, his intentions become clear. He has come to claim what he believes is already his, and to unleash Hell upon the Earth.

Book Description
When Jon Holmes became a father (twice), he was asked to fill in a form detailing his family medical history. Except he couldn't, because he has no idea who his family are. Born to an unnamed, unmarried mother and an unknown father and given up for adoption at four weeks old, Jon decided to document his own history, so that one day he could pass it on to his children. It's a story of how boys grow up to become (stupid) men, of sexual misadventure, of being accidentally shot in the face, of spiders, a ghost, a fatally injured gerbil, American road trips that went wrong, becoming inadvertently locked in Graham Norton's toilet with an Oscar nominated screenwriter, being removed from Mrs Thatcher's vicinity by her security detail and having loving parents who did their best to bring up a child that wasn't theirs. Part memoir, part hilarious insight into why men are so inept, this is the true story of how an unwanted baby in the Midlands went on to become a wanted man in the state of Texas, and everything that happened in between. His children will never be allowed to read it.

At the Seven Sisters Spa, where the Ionian women live and hide their true identity, Jason falls in love with the beautiful Sophia Thalia-and their passion will re-ignite a conflict that could destroy the Ionians.

Book Description
As significant current events unfold all around us and voices are heard everywhere, saying "look here" and "look there", it is important that we keep our feet firmly grounded on the Word of God. Outside God''s Word there is no stability and it is easy to be alarmed or sidetracked by spectacular forecasts that have very little substance to them. Our primary task as Christians is to know what God''s Word says about the last days and to refuse any information that may be hearsay and which cannot be reconciled with the Scriptures. Anyone could write a book about last things, and many do, but it''s wise to take much of what is written with a pinch of salt. However, when, as in the case of Revelation, the author is God Himself, it is necessary that the facts be well affirmed. And in the opening verses John takes pains to impress upon his readers the accuracy and reliability of what he is about to write. The information did not originate with him. It came from God the Father to God the Son and was then communicated to John by an angel. Although our English Bibles record the title of this book as "The Revelation of John", it is not about John, nor his revelation. It is about Jesus Christ in His role as ruler, conqueror and controller of all things, spiritual and temporal. When Jesus said to His disciples, ''''All power is given unto me in Heaven and on earth" that is precisely what He meant, namely, ALL power, total control over all things. My prayer is that this commentary will help to clarify the immense scope of this book of Revelation to the minds of those who read it.
