Synopsis

In "Under Padlock and Seal," Harold Avery delivers a gripping exploration of systemic injustice and personal integrity through a narrative steeped in psychological tension and rich character development. Set against the backdrop of a dystopian society where surveillance and repression dictate everyday life, Avery's prose employs a blend of stark realism and poignant symbolism, inviting readers to reflect on the implications of authoritarian control. The intertwining of personal and political narratives not only heightens the emotional resonance of the story but also situates it within contemporary literary discourses on freedom, identity, and the human spirit's resilience. Harold Avery, known for his keen social observations and mastery in portraying complex characters, draws upon his background in sociology and personal experiences with oppressive systems to craft this narrative. His previous works have similarly grappled with themes of morality, choice, and human dynamics, informing the depth and authenticity present in "Under Padlock and Seal." Avery's commitment to revealing the often unseen struggles of individuals against institutional forces underscores his role as a voice for the marginalized. This compelling novel is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the nuances of human resilience in the face of oppression. Avery invites you into a world that, while fictional, resonates deeply with our realities, making it a thought-provoking addition to the modern literary canon.

    December 1922, and society dressmaker Jemima Flowerday receives a letter from Lady Hamlash of Merry Beggars Hall, requesting three new gowns for the Christmas season. Lady Hamlash does not travel, so Jemima will need to visit the Hall in deepest Suffolk to work in situ.
    The commission appeals to Jemima for more than one reason. It will bring her some much-needed income. More interestingly, the remote manor house was the scene of a grisly murder earlier that year, when Lady Hamlash, inspecting her plants in the walled garden, found a man's severed head beneath a terracotta asparagus cloche.
    The murder was never solved.
    Jemima, addicted to mystery novels and with a proud history of solving crimes in her own world, is sure she can crack the case. That ambition becomes a little more complicated when, within hours of her arrival at Merry Beggars Hall, the household cook dies in front of her…

    Former FBI-profiler Eva Rae Thomas is back in a heart-pounding novel of suspense. It’s so shocking it’ll have you sleeping with your lights on. Peter and Mary Marshall went on a vacation with their son and daughter, but returned without their children. They went missing from their hotel room one night while the couple was downstairs in the restaurant for dinner. They never saw them again. Ten years later, the Marshalls have put the murder of their children behind them, moved to a different state, and had another child - a son. When he disappears during a vacation trip to Florida, the parents are suddenly in the limelight again. Public opinion seems to be that this can be no coincidence. These things don’t happen twice to the same people, do they? Former FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas is doing well in her life, and things are calm until an FBI agent suddenly shows up, asking for her help with the case of the missing child. The kidnapper seems to have a message for Eva Rae, since she was the one who supposedly solved the case 10 years ago. As she digs into the disappearance of the boy, racing to save the child’s life, she realizes this psychopathic killer lurking in the shadows has unfinished business, and he’s not stopping till his debt is paid in full.

    For the Unchipped, safety is nothing but an illusion... 
    Bill is one of the lucky few. While the other Unchipped near the City of California scavenge for food amid the constant threat of gunfire, Bill's spent the last two years at the Mansion--a haven for the select few who design products to be sold in the green city. He's safe for now... unlike his friend Kaarina, who is leading a revolution on the other side of the world. 
    Bill is the Mansion's CEO, but he's haunted by the act of violence that got him the job. Danger lies beyond the protective gates of this repressive sanctuary, but a carefree existence inside the City of California remains mysterious, intriguing... and unattainable. 
    When he discovers the trailer just outside the fence, Bill is forced to make an impossible choice. Defend the Mansion by killing the intruders... or let them live and risk everything he has?
