When Tim Cross, a successful hairstylist on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, drops his four-year-old daughter, Claudia, off at a birthday party with a hug and a promise to return at 5:00 p.m., it's a promise he will be unable to keep. Unbeknownst to Tim, his ex-wife has just escaped from a psychiatric institute for the criminally insane and is seeking to settle scores. At the birthday party, the five o'clock hour comes and goes, and the children have been picked up...all except Claudia. Cheri Andrews reassures Claudia that her dad will be there soon, but the hours pass with no sign of Tim. Charlie Jorgenson, a NYC homicide detective with a fondness for booze, knocks on Cheri's door much later that evening, but the news is not what she expected.

Thus begins a disorienting journey that will challenge his understanding of good and evil. Guiding the journey is Claudia, Tim's telepathic daughter, and a pair of seven-year-old twins in Fortune, Ontario, with a "telepathic" ability of their own. The clock, however, is ticking. Will the extraordinary ability of these young children be enough to guide the authorities to Tim Cross in time?

Something Beneath the Pines
A Closed-Circle Business Thriller of Treachery and Murder.Something Beneath the Pines establishes a high-stakes, closed-circle mystery set on the rugged, isolated expanse of Dawson Island. This private retreat, owned by the dominating billionaire Graham Dawson, becomes the stage for a brutal crime when Graham's wife, Evelyn, is killed during a high-profile "masculinity retreat" attended by five other top-tier CEOs.The novel primarily contrasts the Dawson family's heritage with the quest for truth. Graham locks down the island, imposing a vow of complete silence on guests already entangled in corporate secrets and financial fraud.Stepping into this maelstrom is Clara Dawson, Graham's estranged daughter and a local park ranger. Utilising her intimate knowledge of the island and her sharp instincts, Clara bypasses her father's lockdown to investigate Evelyn's complex past and the explosive secrets Evelyn held about the powerful men now trapped on the island. The case does not only present a murder but also a carefully crafted message, indicating that the crime is a component of a bigger conspiracy involving corporate corruption and a family history of violence and dark ambition.Hamon de Quillan excels at crafting complex relationships, particularly between Clara, her father, and her conflicted half-brother, Andrew. As Clara and Detective Helen Morales delve deeper, the line between victim and perpetrator, truth and meticulously built deception, blurs. The suspense is skilfully built up in the novel to a dramatic climax that leaves the refined fronts of corporate privilege bare and shows the ugly, dangerous intentions behind the pines.It is a compelling thriller that can be enjoyed by the readers who enjoy reading a complex mystery that is full of psychological suspense and corporate and family drama.

Jasmine Bay is a nurse for an Oakland mental health facility, battling her own demons, caught in a spiral of suicidal despair. Estranged from her brother James and his wife Tilly, who was once her best friend, Jas has chosen self-isolation to protect herself--even if it means denying herself a hopeful future with co-worker and potential love interest Henry Lewis. When her godmother dies, Jas returns to Redceder for the funeral, a logging town where her grandfather William Whipple made a living deforesting the countryside, ripping and raping apart nature's very foundations for corporate profits.

And buried in the haunted woods are even more dark secrets perpetrated by Jas's family. Unnatural acts giving birth to entities made of human flesh and petrified bark, seeking to avenge the devastation that ravaged their land.
