MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman.

When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death – a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone – Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister’s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask.

Dexter Morgan isn`t exactly the kind of man you`d bring home to your mum. At heart, he`s the perfect gentleman: he has a shy girlfriend, and seems to lead a quiet, normal life bordering on the mundane. Despite the fact that he can`t stand the sight of blood, he works as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police. But Dexter also has a secret hobby: he is an accomplished serial killer. So far, he`s killed 36 people and has never been caught because he knows exactly how to hide the evidence. And while that may lead some people to assume he`s not such a nice guy, he tempers his insatiable hunger for brutality by only killing the bad guys. However, Dexter`s well-organised life is suddenly disrupted when a second, much more visible serial...

When a sheriff`s detective shows up on former FBI man Terry McCaleb`s Catalina Island doorstep and requests his help in analyzing photographs of a crime scene, McCaleb at first demurs. He`s newly married (to Graciela, who herself dragged him from retirement into a case in Blood Work), has a new baby daughter, and is finally strong again after a heart transplant. But once a bloodhound, always a bloodhound. One look at the video of Edward Gunn`s trussed and strangled body puts McCaleb back on the investigative trail, hooked by two details: the small statue of an owl that watches over the murder scene and the Latin words "Cave Cave Dus Videt", meaning "Beware, beware, God sees", on the tape binding the victim`s mouth. Gunn was a small-time...
