Mary Stone

A killer is watching…
Thirteen years ago, Winter Black came home early from a sleepover to find her parents brutally murdered and her little brother gone—taken by a serial killer called The Preacher. 

Now a rookie FBI agent assigned to her first murder case, Winter has returned to the small Virginia town where she grew up. But when bones found by a hunter lead to the discovery of a secret burial ground containing the remains of children, the investigation suddenly hits close to home as the past and future collide with each new shocking discovery. Will they find her brother’s bones in the makeshift graveyard next?

Only The Preacher knows, and he’ll do anything to keep the past—and its secrets—buried until he’s ready to make his final move.

A masterfully conceived psychological thriller reminiscent of Lisa Jackson, Harlan Coben, and Karin Slaughter, Winter’s Mourn will keep readers turning the pages—and watching the window—long past midnight.

Winter Black Series

Winter's Mourn (Winter Black Series: Book One)

Knowing someone will die is the worst curse…

A bank robbery turns into a blood trail as a pair of unhinged masterminds hack their way through a list of the most notorious US heists. The copycat crimes, emulating famous robberies, escalate as the FBI work with local law enforcement.

But the federal team has problems of its own. Sun Ming, Winter Black’s partner and nemesis, has her own agenda, while Winter can’t keep her mind off The Preacher, the notorious serial killer who murdered her parents and holds the key to finding her missing little brother.

To make matters worse, Winter must attempt to hide her ever growing abilities as the "gift" The Preacher gave her years before turns into a curse that threatens to destroy her, body and soul.

Book two of Mary Stone’s addictive Winter Black Series, Winter's Curse is a page-turning, cat and mouse thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.

Winter's Curse: Winter Black Series: Book Two

The Preacher is killing again…

The serial killer who slaughtered Winter’s parents has come out of retirement, leaving bloody victims in his wake. Special Agent Winter Black has spent her entire life preparing for this moment, and she intends to end the man who took everything from her and solve the disappearance of her little brother—no matter the cost.

Though she’s taken off the case, it doesn’t take Winter long to discover that The Preacher isn’t after just another victim.

He’s after her.

In his mind, he’s killing Winter over and over. And with each new murder, he’s leaving a message, one that is holy in the most chilling way.

When the madman kidnaps a fellow agent, Winter is desperate to find him before he kills another person she cares about.

Book three of Mary Stone’s edgy Winter Black Series, Winter’s Redemption is a breath-stealing journey into the mind of a psychopath, and the woman he taught to hate.

Winter's Redemption: Winter Black Series: Book Three

The cure is to kill…

For more than thirteen years, Special Agent Winter Black has believed her little brother was dead—kidnapped and murdered by The Preacher, the same lunatic who killed her parents. A lead into Justin’s whereabouts brings her out of her hiatus to chase it, but other cases need her attention too.

At the FBI, tensions are high when a body is dug up, encased in a fifty-five-gallon drum. The team soon realizes they aren’t hunting the typical serial killer, but a skilled surgeon. One who experiments on atypical brains—brains just like her new friend’s; brains just like her own—then disposes of their patients like they would a defective organ.

In the mix, Winter’s childhood psychiatrist surfaces—the only medical professional who knows about her abilities, or so she thinks.

Could the murders be connected?

Time is running out, because now, the killer is after Winter’s friend. And after her.

Book four of Mary Stone’s throat-clutching Winter Black Series, Winter’s Rise proves that evil doesn’t just hide in the dark.

Winter's Rise: Winter Black Series: Book Four

Some ghosts still live and breathe...

Six months ago, on the night Winter Black and her fellow agents took down The Preacher, a mall massacre occurred.

Today, one of the gunmen responsible for taking fifteen innocent lives that night is killed—with a well-placed bullet fired from nearly a mile away. Clearly a professional, either military or law enforcement, the sniper leaves zero evidence, other than a note.

When more suspected rapists and murderers turn up dead, the killer’s pattern becomes clear: they’re acting as judge, jury, and executioner for a series of cases that were brushed off by the cops. How could a person not cheer a little? Until the spotlight is shone on one of the FBI’s own.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of right or wrong. Winter knows just where the line is—she learned the night her parents were slaughtered and her baby brother disappeared. After all, that night made her who she is, and she’ll uphold the law, even for the scumbags who deserve to die. Even while the ghosts of her past grow closer and closer.

Book five of Mary Stone’s breakthrough Winter Black series, Winter’s Ghost is an ingeniously conceived psychological thriller that will keep listeners enthralled while making sure their door is locked—and pick proof.

Winter's Ghost: Winter Black Series: Book Five

Some secrets hurt; others can kill...
The Preacher is dead, the case solved, but now Special Agent Winter Black’s missing brother seems to be taunting her, leaving a trail that leads back to their old house in Harrisonburg. As she learns more, Winter must fight the urge to revert back to that primal part of herself that was set on secrecy and vengeance during the investigation of her parents’ murder. Especially now that her best friend and partner, Noah Dalton’s, own past has come back to play.

Noah’s father, Eric, has borrowed money from the Russian mob, but won’t give the FBI the whole story, even though his daughter and son-in-law have been kidnapped and the clock is ticking on their lives. What is he hiding? And who will pay the price?

A dirty cop, a RICO case, and more lies than truth. Can Winter and Noah sort out the pieces and put the puzzle together before the hostages’ expiration date? Or has it been too late from the beginning?

Book six of Mary Stone’s page-turning Winter Black Series, Winter's Secret is a twisty, roller-coaster of a ride that doesn't let up until the very last page.

Winter's Secret: Winter Black Series: Book Six

Human webs are the deadliest…

When Ryan O’Connelly—the unwilling accomplice of a bank robber turned mass murderer—slipped out of the FBI’s grasp, no one expected to hear from him again, much less of his own volition. But when he shows up at the FBI’s doorstep after almost a year of successful evasion, he has information to point Special Agent Winter Black in the direction of a brutal serial killer.

As Ryan takes the team into the deep, dark web of sinister secrets, Winter receives an even more disturbing message from her brother than the last. She can feel him out there… watching, waiting.

Lucky for Winter, she isn’t afraid of spiders. She’s only afraid when the spider disappears.

Book seven of Mary Stone’s addictive Winter Black Series, Winter’s Web, exposes what goes on behind closed doors and the web of lies and deadly truths we ignore to protect the ones we love.

Winter's Web

They survived, but survival won’t save them.
When the survivors of the massacre at the Riverside Mall are murdered one after the other, the police suspect a serial killer and turn to the FBI. Winter Black is on the case, working to track down the third person involved in the mass shooting that happened the same night she took down The Preacher, the man who killed her parents.

The hit list is long while the list of suspects is short, and when the killer ends up dead, the suspect list narrows down to a pinpoint. The path to solving the case grows even more twisted, and protecting the survivors feels nearly impossible as the storm of hate grows bigger, more fierce as it moves closer to Winter, taking down anyone within its path.

Who is this assassin? Are they intent on simply finishing what Tyler Haldane and Kent Strickland started, or is it worse? Do they intend to finish what The Preacher started as well? And where does Justin, Winter’s baby brother, fit in? Is he the storm? Or is he simply caught up in its force?

Book eight of Mary Stone’s riveting Winter Black Series, Winter’s Storm, delves into a darkness we hope doesn’t exist and brings it close enough to feel its chill.

Winter's Storm (Winter Black Series: Book Eight)

For thirteen years, she’s suffered mentally and physically. Often doubted her sanity and ability to move forward to achieve her goal of bringing that brutal man down.

Thirteen years of regret. Of hope. Of fear. Of hate.

But now, the boy she longs for has transformed into a man she fears.

She has to face him. Catch him.

Maybe even kill him. Even if it means the end of her.

With her husband and former partner, Noah Dalton, at her side, she’s hoping to shed the skin of her past and return to hunting down criminals, but in a very different way...

Black Investigations is now open for business.

Winter’s first case as a P.I. is as bizarre as it is perplexing. When a wealthy playboy’s girlfriend disappears without a trace, everyone who knew her says she never existed at all. Winter’s new client swears she’s real and that someone wants him to believe he’s losing his mind.

But who would do that and why?

Winter’s gut says that her client is telling the truth. But the deeper she digs—and the higher the stakes become—she begins to wonder if Fitz is the next victim...or a murderer.

From the wickedly dark mind of Mary Stone comes a new season of mystery and suspense starting with Winter's Return. You asked for more Winter Black. The question is...are you ready?

Winter's Return: Winter Black Season Two

Nice girls finish last. Bad girls finish dead.
When Private Detective Winter Black-Dalton receives a slew of messages from a mother desperate to protect her children after a traumatizing divorce, she takes the case without hesitation. Not only is it a welcome distraction from unpacking boxes, but Winter hopes to assuage the guilt still fusing her to her past.

She should have known better.

A crayon drawing of guns and "nakid notty girls" by her client’s five-year-old daughter hints at the wealthy and powerful father’s depraved activities. When the man in question warns Winter off the investigation, he reeks of cunning. But she has no hard facts, only impressions. And with no FBI badge to open doors, she needs to get creative.

But the more Winter investigates, she fears something far more sinister lurks beneath the surface. And when local call girls mysteriously disappear, Winter must risk it all to save other young women from the same fate.

The mystery and suspense continue with Winter’s Rescue, the second book in the Winter Black Season Two series, a thrilling ride that will make you realize things aren’t always as they seem. Sometimes they’re much worse.

Once an FBI special agent famed for locking up serial killers, Winter Black now finds herself on the other side of the law. Who would have guessed she’d be working on behalf of a potential killer as a private investigator? Her new client is undoubtedly a corrupt businessman who has swindled millions, but is he responsible for the chilling electrocutions of three people? Winter doesn’t think so.

But is she willing to stake her life on it?

Winter’s client insists his former broker and jilted lover is framing him for murder to exact revenge. Yet the woman is practically a ghost online. With mounting evidence against her client, Winter is confronted with the daunting task of proving his innocence. Unless she’s made a deal with the devil and is about to be burned.

The mystery and suspense continue with Winter’s Shock, the electrifying third book in the Winter Black Season Two series, a spine-chilling ride that will make you think twice before soaking in a bathtub ever again.
