Libri di Ben Cheetham
Lingua:Libri ItalianiAfter the tragic death of their eleven-year-old son, Adam and Ella are fighting to keep their family from falling apart. Then comes an opportunity that seems too good to be true. They win a competition to live for free in a breathtakingly beautiful mansion on the Cornish Lizard Peninsula. There’s just one catch – the house is supposedly haunted.
Mystery has always swirled around Fenton House. In 1920 the house’s original owner, reclusive industrialist Walter Lewarne, hanged himself from its highest turret. In 1996, the then inhabitants, George Trehearne, his wife Sofia and their young daughter Heloise disappeared without a trace. Neither mystery was ever solved.
Adam is not the type to believe in ghosts. As far as he’s concerned, ghosts are simply memories. Everywhere he looks in their cramped London home he sees his dead son. Despite misgivings, the chance to start afresh is too tempting to pass up. Adam, Ella and their surviving son Henry move into Fenton House. At first, the change of scenery gives them all a new lease of life. But as the house starts to reveal its secrets, they come to suspect that they may not be alone after all…

You know, don’t you, that it’s not my soul the Devil wants, it’s yours?
Two years ago the Piper family fled Fenton House after their dream of a new life turned into an unspeakable nightmare. The house has stood empty ever since, given a wide berth by everyone except ghost hunters and occult fanatics.
Now something is trying to lure the Pipers back to Fenton House. But is that ‘something’ a malevolent supernatural entity? Or is there a more earthly explanation? Whatever the truth, Adam and Ella Piper are about to discover that their family’s future is inextricably bound up with the last place they ever wanted to see again.
The Pipers aren’t the only ones whose fate is tied to Fenton House. Three thieves seeking their fortune and a mysterious redheaded woman are also converging on the remote Cornish mansion.
Over the course of a single stormy night, each of them will be forced to confront their true self. How far are they willing to go in pursuit of their deepest, darkest desires? How much are they prepared to give in order to simply survive till dawn?

If you enjoy gritty, fast-paced crime thrillers, then sit back and strap in for this box set of the first three books in the Jack Anderson series.
Now She’s Dead: After the apparent suicide of his wife, Rebecca, Jack doesn’t think life can get any worse. Then he sees a woman in a window who is Rebecca’s double. Attraction turns into obsession as Jack returns to the window night after night. But he isn’t the only one watching her. Jack’s about to be drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse that could destroy what’s left of his life.
Who Is She?: Jack is starting to get his life back on track. But things are about to get complicated. A woman lies in a hospital bed, clinging to life after being shot in the head. She claims to remember nothing, not even her own name. Who is she? That is the question Jack must answer. Damaged kindred spirits, Jack and the nameless woman quickly form a bond. But people are dying. Their deaths appear to be connected to the woman. What if she isn’t really the victim? What if she’s just as bad as the ‘Unspeakable Monsters’ who put her in hospital?
She Is Gone: On a summer’s day in 1998, a savage crime at an isolated Lakeland beauty spot leaves three dead. The case has gone unsolved ever since. Butterfly, the sole survivor of that terrible crime, is obsessed with solving the case. She also happens to be the woman Jack loves. How can Butterfly hope to succeed where the police have failed? The answer might be locked within the darkest recesses of her traumatised mind. Or maybe the driver of the car that’s been following her holds the key to the mystery. Either way, unless Jack can protect her, the truth may well cost Butterfly her family, her sanity and her life.

What Amazon and Goodreads readers are saying about Ben Cheetham's books

'A fantastic psychological thriller... It had literally everything... a deranged serial killer and a hero with more issues than vogue. There is life, death, fear manipulation, lies, betrayal, friendships both old and new made and shattered into pieces and our hero, Jack, is so damaged that I found myself constantly doubting him until the very last page.'
'Dizzying suspense is right. So many names, so many murders and so many twists. I would have never in million years guessed who was behind the crimes. You might be able to figure out some of the puzzle but the ending will set you back.'

Some secrets are better left undiscovered.
When a nine-year-old girl goes missing in Harwood Forest, the search for her brings back memories of an unsolved double murder some forty years earlier. Could the key to Erin Jackson’s disappearance lie in the bloody fate of Elijah and Joanna Ingham, bludgeoned to death while their young daughters slept? Were the Inghams really the victims of opportunistic burglars—or a more sinister fate?
The woods are combed for signs of the child, but Erin’s brother, Jake, mounts his own investigation, uncovering evidence that puts the Inghams’ daughters—vanished Rachel and ‘crazy’ Mary—in the frame. Meanwhile, Erin’s father suspects that the ragtag army of eco-warriors besieging his quarry development may have something to hide.
As devastating secrets and betrayals are revealed, the Jackson family is brought to a breaking point. But time is running out. Erin is still missing and Jake’s unorthodox enquiries have left him dangerously exposed. They must find Erin and lay the past to rest—before they become its latest victims.
1993. A trip to the cinema turns into a nightmare for Anna and her little sister Jessica when two men throw thirteen-year-old Jessica into the back of a van and speed away.
The years tick by... Tick, tick... The police fail to find Jessica and her name fades from the public consciousness... Tick, tick... But every time Anna closes her eyes she's back in that terrible moment, lurching towards Jessica, grabbing for her. So close. So agonisingly close... Tick, tick... Now in her thirties, Anna has no career, no relationship, no children. She's consumed by one purpose – finding Jessica, dead or alive.
DI Jim Monahan has a little black book with forty-two names in it. Jim's determined to put every one of those names behind bars, but his investigation is going nowhere fast. Then a twenty-year-old clue brings Jim and Anna together in search of a shadowy figure known as Spider. Who is Spider? Where is Spider? Does Spider have the answers they want? The only thing Jim and Anna know is that the victims Spider entices into his web have a habit of ending up missing or dead.

2012. Melinda has been missing for weeks. The police would normally be all over it, but Melinda is a prostitute. Women in that line of work change addresses like they change lipstick. She probably just moved on.

If that means putting his job on the line by launching an unofficial investigation, then so be it.
