Piecing together a life in his absence, Louie embraces her gift and her rage under the force of a single need: revenge.

A Lou Thorne Thriller

Shadows in the Water

Enemies make the best allies.

Louie Thorne is good at one thing: killing. She knows peace only when she kills and this relentless thirst drives her to hunt the world's worst crime lords. But when her cancer-stricken aunt makes a dying wish, Louie is torn between her own dark nature and a promise made to the only family she has left. 

Enter Konstantine, illegitimate son of the crime lord who killed Louie's family, and now the leader of the Ravengers--a ruthless crime faction from Florence's underworld. He didn't rise to power without making enemies and now one of those enemies has made Konstantine the most hunted man alive. 

Konstantine's only hope of reclaiming his throne is to trust the woman who wants him dead...

Under the Bones is the second novel in the Shadows in the Water series. You do not have to read them in order to enjoy them, but it is recommended.

Under the Bones

Is it still revenge if you kill the innocent?

Fast, furious, and with an iron will--Louie Thorne is the woman they fear. Crime lords the world over go to great lengths to escape her retribution. But with her terrifying gift and relentless drive, there is nowhere in the world they can hide.

For Lou it's personal. When her father was murdered by drug lords, Lou survived not only because of her supernatural ability to be anywhere at any time, but because she found a reason to live: revenge. She vowed to destroy those who carelessly destroyed the lives of others. 

Yet Lou's freedom to exact these plans lies in her anonymity. She kills without repercussions because she is little more than a ghost haunting the dark underbelly of the world. Until a young reporter desperate for the story of a lifetime starts to unravel the mystery of Louie Thorne and threatens to expose Lou to the light...

Danse Macabre

It takes a killer to stop a killer.

Retired DEA agent Robert King has a thriving PI business in New Orleans—and one promise to keep. He must help his niece, Louie, use her supernatural abilities to rid the world of monsters, without becoming a monster herself.

But King plays by the rules of law and order, and Louie does not.

So when Louie discovers a serial killer who is actively hunting a young woman, King knows he has only one chance to keep his promise to his dead wife. He must convince Louie to take the man alive and seek justice for the families he’s already destroyed.

Melandra Durand has worked hard for the life she has. As the owner of an occult shop in the French Quarter, her days were filled with palm readings and souvenir sales until an unorthodox PI moved in next door. It doesn’t help that King employs a dangerous young woman who attracts dangerous company—jeopardizing both Mel’s safety and sanity.

Then Mel’s husband is released from prison, and the real nightmare begins.

More than one woman’s life is on the line and the clock is ticking…

Carnival

Louie Thorne, a dark and unrelenting huntress, returns in this riveting new supernatural thriller from bestselling author Kory M. Shrum.

In Paris, a renowned art historian is found dead in her bathtub with a fatal stab wound in her gut, leaving the authorities to question if it was a suicidal publicity stunt—or murder.

An Algerian student goes missing and Louie finds her bones in the catacombs. 

Konstantine, notorious leader of a Florentine gang, does what he can to assist Louie in her search—until he is asked to choose between his loyalty to her and those who rely on him. 

Then as Louie investigates these two cases for answers and a connection, more women disappear.

So the hunt for a new killer begins…

What Comes Around

Lou “uses her uncanny ability to inflict lethal retribution” (Kirkus Reviews) yet again in this eighth installment of the Shadows in the Water series.

These special meals are by invitation only. When chef Alan Rathers lifts the lid of his sterling silver platter to present his latest avant-garde creation to the family of four he’s serving, there is only one problem—they cannot see the fare he has painstakingly prepared. As the guests’ eyes have been gouged from their heads…

After facing down her own death, Louie Thorne resolves to become stronger and faster than she thought possible, and her efforts are producing wondrous results. She can now destroy her prey with an ease she’s never known before. And Lou will need every ounce of this newfound strength to defeat a cannibalistic serial killer with a taste for human flesh.

This unputdownable thriller with a touch of horror will have you racing through its pages. If you love David Baldacci or Dean Koontz, Silver Bullet is sure to keep you up all night.
