Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matt Harper, a television and radio personality and a former professional soccer player, has just bought Elderholm, an old stone house in Leeds in the north of England. It's ideal for him, his partner Aileen, and her three children. Even the attic space seems just right -- the perfect place for a game room or a children's retreat. But as Matt and his decorator tour the property, they find something that will put the attic off-limits for a long time to come: a tiny child's skeleton that has clearly been there for years. What happened to the child, and how did its skeleton get into the attic? Detective Sergeant Charlie Peace and his forensic team think the child's remains have been in the attic for thirty years. Thirty years? Matt remembers that time. It was 1969 and he was seven years old. He was in the neighborhood, spending the summer with an aunt. That was the summer that Elderholm's owner left her house empty when she went to visit a daughter in Australia. What happened that summer? What memories lie deep in Matt's consciousness? Where are the other children from that summer who now, of course, are adults? Who killed the little child and why was he or she never reported missing? And who has now written to Matt, assuring him that he had no part in what occurred, that he had gone home to London before it happened? As Matt struggles to recover his memory of that strange summer, both he and Charlie Peace ponder what it means to love and lose a child and how one thoughtless decision can change a life forever. Richly evocative and deeply poignant, The Bones in the Attic is crime writing at its best from one of the great contemporary masters of mystery.

Book excerpt: The inside story of an upstate New York serial killer who abducted, raped, and murdered women and hid their bodies in his home. In the late 1990s in Poughkeepsie, New York, prostitutes began to go missing off the streets of the old Hudson River town. Due to the women’s nomadic lifestyles, which many people condemned, few in the town noticed they were gone besides their families and Lieutenant Bill Siegrist, who suspected that a serial killer was behind the disappearances. Local prostitutes described a strange man lurking around, leading Siegrist to Kendall Francois, an overweight, slovenly middle school hall monitor nicknamed Stinky. Police brought in Francois for a lie detector test, which he passed, and they were forced to release him. Area women continued to disappear. In a shocking twist of fate, Francois was finally arrested when a woman he had raped managed to escape from his house and ran into a roadblock set up by Siegrist. She led the police back to Francois’s home, and the hall monitor soon gave a full confession and cut a deal with the prosecution. By then, cops in Tyvek suits had already found eight bodies concealed in the attic and crawl space of Francois’s house of horrors. To this day, one victim is still missing. From the author of numerous true crime books, including Lobster Boy and Deacon of Death, this is the frightening story of a brutal murderer whose neighbors never suspected what was going on behind his front door.

The tale is brought to life with the discovery of the Thuillier photos that were taken in Vignacourt, France, during World War I. These images hold answers to some questions raised by a current-day character, VALERIE BERNARD, who is a village local. In 1916, ROSIE MARCHAND leaves her hometown of Albert on the Somme. A survivor of the war, she finds shelter in the home of her cousin, photographer LOUIS THUILLIER, a shell-shocked veteran of Verdun, who with his wife ANTOINETTE takes pictures of soldiers behind the lines. For Australian BILL FOSTER, the war is a faraway adventure where he is driven to go and join his brother. Bill is in love with ISABELLA DE LUCA, a passionate Queensland woman, and promises to return to her. However, MICK DE LUCA, Isabella’s father, vows to do all he can to ensure this doesn’t happen. JIMMY WALTON, Bill’s Indigenous mate, enlists in the army also and they both go off to war together. In the Vignacourt hospital, an injured Bill meets Nurse Rosie. Bill can’t understand why Isabella hasn’t written him any letters. This, along with his brother being declared dead and Jimmy being killed in battle, brings Bill to the verge of a complete breakdown. Rosie is his strength during this time, and she nurses him back to health. Their feelings for each other deepen. As the war ends, Bill makes a difficult decision to return to Australia, to Isabelle. This devastates Rosie, and they part in anger. Bill returns home and finds that Isabella was pregnant, but both mother and baby died during birth …. Will Bill’s hatred for Mick De Luca rise to the surface? What is his future? Is it in Australia or France, and does it feature Rosie? How do the photos that were found in the attic tie Bill and Valerie Bernard’s lives together?
