Book excerpt: The fifth novel in the John Bailey thriller series. Bailey is trying to solve two murders, ten years apart – unfinished business from his former flame Sharon Dexter. But will it cost him his life? Detective Holly Sutton has been seconded to work with the New South Wales Homicide Squad to investigate the murder of Sydney socialite, Tottie Evans, who was found dead at the Palm Beach home of a millionaire property developer. Alec Blacksmith isn’t like other real estate guys. He’s a former mercenary soldier who shot to fame after appearing on a reality TV show. Blacksmith is refusing to cooperate with police because he has his own secrets. John Bailey is an old school reporter with a nose for a story. He gets a call from the police about a break-in at the house he inherited from his former girlfriend, Sharon Dexter – a cop murdered in the line of duty. Whoever crowbarred the lock was looking for Dexter’s case file about the murder of a waitress named Sally King at an exclusive Sydney gentlemen’s club a decade earlier. After examining the file, Bailey discovers something that will blow up the Homicide Squad’s investigation into Tottie Evans’s death – a link to the murder of King. The only problem is that a serial killer is already serving a life sentence for the crime. Catching killers is Holly Sutton’s job. But for John Bailey, solving the case offers him a chance to finish a job for the woman who saved his life.

Jason Van der Bollen is—to put it bluntly—a womanizer. Dashing and delightful, yes. But still a womanizer. Lately, though, he's been thinking there's something missing in his life. Maybe that's why he moves back home to west Texas. After all, his brother's family is there…and the idea of family has suddenly become very appealing to the confirmed bachelor. His nephew claims Jason's been "bitten by that nesting impulse"—but what does an eleven-year-old know?
