A Car Full Of Flowers

A fanatical group of vigilantes. One local police unit. One international task force. An ex-con with a grudge… Plus a child abduction. It all adds up to a nightmare.

Police and a secret group of citizen investigators are locked in a battle for child safety, and Detective Constable Holly Towns finds herself trapped between the two.

Holly is paired with a new detective from the Sex Crimes Unit. Detective Danny Cavallo is working with a cross-border task force on human trafficking. And reporter Missy McLaren swears that the underground vigilante crew has the answers.

But Holly distrusts the group and its criminal history, and when an explosive takedown rocks the city with accusations and the promise of more violence, she becomes even more convinced that the truth lies hidden elsewhere.

Can her notorious combination of hard work and off-beat intuition pay off before the kidnapper circles back to claim victory?

“The epic adventure tale of a young man who wanted to be counted among Israel’s mighty men of old, but finds out quickly that being a hero is not what he expected.”

948 BC, Israel. A quiet year. Prosperous. King Solomon sits the throne and peace covers the land like a blanket tucked snugly beneath the chin.

But not all is as it seems. Whispers abound. Tales of amassing armies and midnight assassins. Waking demons and children cast upon altars of fire.

For the young sheepherder, Joshua, the stories seem fantastical. He lives in Shulem and nothing exciting ever happens in Shulem. Goats outnumber people ten to one. Sheep fifty to one. But then one morning Joshua returns from the fields to find his uncle’s head set on a pike and his mother and sister missing. Beside the ashes of his still smouldering house, the prophet Eli is waiting with a mysterious message from Elohim. Judgment comes swiftly.

Joshua flees Shulem. Pursued by shadowy assassins through the forests of Bashan and into the Argob, fabled land of the giants, Joshua must learn to put his faith in Elohim even as everything is taken from him – his home, his family, even the slave girl he pulled down a mountain to free.

Good evening, horror seekers. What you are about to read is not for the faint of heart. In these pages you’ll find…

Three lighthouse keepers who vanish without explanation, leaving behind diaries that foretell events that haven’t yet occurred. A car accident victim finds himself trapped in a strange house with a young boy who insists “dead is dead”. Four friends on a hunting trip encounter a legendary monster in the Kentucky woods. A dark figure that appears after a man’s near-death experience demanding payment for his borrowed time.

Consider yourself warned. You’ve found what you’re looking for. The terror begins now.

Saltmarsh Cove loves a tidy story, and nothing sells faster than fear dressed up as “public health.”

Mara Delaney is finally getting Delaney Preserves off the ground when she hosts a winter “world ferments” night to boost sales and prove her shop is more than quaint scenery for tourists. The event brings crowds, cameras, and a visiting food podcaster who knows exactly how to poke at a small town’s pride. He is charming on mic, cruel off it, and loudly interested in exposing Saltmarsh Cove’s curated “authenticity.”

Then he ends up dead.

The town immediately tries to frame the death as a fermentation accident. The council starts circling with inspection talk, shutdown threats, and insinuations meant to make Mara say the one sentence they can weaponize: fermentation is dangerous. Sheriff Cal Reed pushes back, but he is boxed in by politics and a town that would rather protect its brand than face the truth.

Mara refuses to be managed. In her kitchen, timing is evidence, and pressure changes leave fingerprints. With Sprig underfoot and her business on the line, she digs into the one thing the town cannot spin: what actually happened.
