IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER They call July the 'mean season' in Miami, and this hot summer a clever, elusive killer is terrorising the entire city. The death of the first victim was just a good story for reporter Malcolm Anderson, but the killer liked his style and begins to feed him a stream of front-page exclusives. His journalism makes Anderson a national celebrity - and they could make him the next victim ... 'Desperately scary and suspenseful' Cosmopolitan THE SHADOW MAN In the horror of Nazi Germany not all Jews were hunted. There were hunters, too - traitors to their race, paid by the Gestapo with the promise of survival. And among the hunters none was more feared than the Shadow Man. Now, half a century later in Florida, he has returned and for those who escaped the Shadow Man's fingers, the past is catching up with them. And for Holocaust survivors, the past means death - unless they can find the Shadow Man first ...
