"What I love about Steven F. Freeman’s writing is that he keeps you guessing; just when you think you’ve figured it all out, he throws another curveball at you. This clever style of writing keeps the reader on their toes throughout. The action in When the Killing Starts begins on page one and never lets up. This novel can be read as a stand-alone story. Action/thriller readers will love this book as much as I did." - Readers' Favorite The Winter Olympics: the perfect time for competition, sportsmanship…and mayhem Days before the Winter Olympics are scheduled to begin, host country ...

The first letter arrives with no return address and a memory Dr. Yeon-joo Seo doesn't remember living. She's spent her career listening to other people's carefully constructed stories. Now someone is sending her the true version of her own — one page at a time, one betrayal at a time. Every letter gets closer to the truth about her marriage, her mentor, and the man she trusted with both. By the final page, Yeon-joo will have to decide which is more dangerous: the lie she's been living, or the person determined to end it.

Ji-eun is being erased — not with violence, but with evidence. Photos she never posed for. Messages she never sent. A version of her own life playing out on camera, one convincing frame at a time. Everyone around her, including the people she trusts most, believes the story being built against her. There's only one explanation Ji-eun can't bring herself to accept: someone who looks exactly like her is stepping into her life, one carefully staged moment at a time — and disappearing isn't a threat anymore. It's already happening. She has to prove she's real before the world decides she ...

In the heart of a quiet town, a young woman tends to her plant shop, but beneath the surface of her lush, green sanctuary lies something far darker.... Will you dare to disrespect her plants? Tucked away in the corner of a neighborhood in Dosan, South Korea, is the Plant Shop. Shop owner Yoohee...

Five passengers boarded the train. The manifest says six. Ji-Hyeon counts them twice before she believes it — and the woman in the red coat, the one who shouldn't exist on any list, is watching her do it. What starts as a discrepancy on a late-night train becomes a reckoning with a debt her family buried decades ago, one that's been riding the rails ever since, waiting for the right passenger to finally collect. Some ghosts don't haunt houses. Some of them just keep riding, keep waiting, keep watching — until every debt is paid.

The knock comes at 3:13 a.m. Three knuckles against wood, patient and certain — as if whoever's on the other side already knows Ji-eun is awake. It's not the first time. And each time, someone she loves gets a little closer to disappearing. The people telling her she's imagining things are the same people she's trusted her whole life — a doctor, a neighbor, a friend with a badge. But trust, Ji-eun is about to learn, is just another kind of door. And she's been leaving hers wide open for exactly the wrong person. Lock every door. It won't be enough.

Seo-jin grew up an only child. That was the lie her family sold her — until a stranger with her own face turns up in a photograph that shouldn't exist, and the neat architecture of her childhood starts to collapse. She had a twin. She was taken. And the people who took her had reasons they buried deeper than either girl ever knew. Now Seo-jin isn't just looking for a sister. She's looking for the truth her whole family agreed, a long time ago, to forget.

There is nowhere to run on a ferry in the middle of the ocean — which is exactly why the woman in cabin 17 chose this boat to tell Soo-min the truth. Her sister didn't die the way everyone said. And the man Soo-min trusts most has spent years making sure no one asks the right questions. By the time the ferry reaches shore, someone will have stopped remembering. Someone will have started. And Soo-min will have to decide whether she can trust her own mind long enough to survive the crossing.

Cave diver Han Soo-jin doesn't go looking for bodies. She goes looking for silence — the kind found forty meters beneath the surface, where nothing can reach her. But when she surfaces from a routine dive off Jeju Island with a set of human remains that shouldn't exist, she's pulled into a cold case with roots that reach into her own family. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes: some things are buried because they're forgotten. Others are buried because someone is still alive to make sure they stay that way. Soo-jin has spent her life diving toward the dark. This time, the dark is ...
