I love this series.

 

Can a murder house become a home sweet home?

Fats Licata has a dream and a deadline. She wants to bring her baby home to a historic Tudor and no other house will do. Unfortunately, it just happens to belong to murderer Brian Shill and he won’t sell. Fats doesn’t see problems. She sees solutions. All she needs is proof that Shill killed his mother to get the property. Easy peasy.

When Mercy takes the case, she knows it’s a long shot. Mary Shill died of natural causes before she had time to write her disease of a son out of her will, making him a millionaire. No one thinks Brian Shill is that lucky, but proof wasn’t easy to come by.

What Mercy discovers is that her cold case is also a complicated one. She finds hidden rooms and long-buried pain and with the help of an old enemy, she gets the clue to crack open all the Shill secrets and a sinister plot that preys on the vulnerable.

Will Mercy be able to save a new friend or will she be next on the hit list?

Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled ride into the unknown in “Transformation” When a meticulously planned heist at the Museum of Alien Life in London takes a chilling turn, it sets off a chain of events that sends shockwaves through the city. A body dumped into Limehouse Basin carries an unimaginable secret—a lurking presence in the water that follows a canal barge, transforming ordinary fish into nightmarish, deadly creatures.

As the infection spreads like wildfire, Ben Sharman and the esteemed Morton Scientific Investigation team are thrust into a relentless pursuit across continents. Their quest for answers propels them from the bustling streets of London to the enigmatic landscapes of Nevada and California, unraveling a mystery that defies scientific explanation.

The cause? A meteor shower from a distant, unfathomable planet millions of light-years away, showering Earth with microscopic particles that carry an insidious infectious agent. This otherworldly substance mutates the genetic code of aquatic life and certain mammals, turning them into grotesque, lethal entities with an insatiable hunger for destruction.

With time running out and the threat escalating, Ben Sharman and his team face a race against the clock to halt the evolving terror. Every moment brings them closer to the chilling realization that unless they contain this burgeoning menace, the relentless spread of this alien contagion will inevitably endanger the very fabric of human existence itself.
