About this listen
Jimmy just wanted to live a normal life—until he found his girlfriend barely alive, bound in his own basement.
As a clean-cut teenager, Jimmy does everything right:
Gets good grades
Stays out of trouble
Keeps his head down
But there’s one thing he can’t control.
With an addict mother chasing her next fix,
a gluttonous father glued to the couch,
twin siblings with unsettling closeness,
and a cold-hearted uncle who delights in others' pain...
Normal is impossible.
Jimmy has no choice but to endure it—for Pecu.
His baby brother is the only good thing in his life. The only thing worth staying for.
But when the worst happens to Jimmy’s new girlfriend, he realizes the horrifying truth:
If he doesn’t act, his family will destroy his baby brother.
But fighting monsters has a cost.
To save his brother, Jimmy may have to become the very thing he fears most.
An unflinchingly bold psychological thriller, Beneath the Lotus will leave you questioning everything you thought about good and evil. With richly drawn characters and a harrowing descent into crime, there’s never been clearer proof of how even the purest intentions can lead to the darkest choices.

Story
It started out as a party: six little girls gliding and giggling at the ice rink to celebrate Natalie’s daughter’s eighth birthday. But by Natalie’s next head count, it’s turned into a crime scene. Six children went onto the ice—and now there are just five. Nobody saw her niece, Elle, being taken. Nobody saw the person in a cartoon costume lure her quietly away. Traumatised by what happened on her watch, Natalie spends the next decade supporting her sister, Jo, as the years since Elle’s abduction tick by.

Story
I am not a freak, although many people call me that. The night my father was murdered and I was left for dead, I awoke with the ability to "sense" things. Touching things can give me visions, sometimes horrifying, murderous ones. The bones of a murdered woman are unearthed and our safe small town is shaken to its core. Her killer was good at hiding the truth and after decades in the ground, any clues are gone—her murder a complete mystery. The only clues are the ones I can see.

Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is. She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

Jillian Harper thought moving to the quiet little town in Montana would be the fresh start her family needed. A charming farmhouse, friendly neighbors, and endless open fields—it was supposed to be perfect. Until the bodies are found. Buried deep on their land. Hidden for years. The police are everywhere. The town is whispering. And Tucker—her devoted husband—is acting . . . strange. He won’t tell her where he was all day. He won’t explain why his phone was off. And worst of all—he won’t meet her eyes.

This is the day my life changes forever. It started so normally. The alarm went at 7am. My husband made bacon and pancakes for me and our seven-year-old daughter, the kitchen full of chatter and laughter. He gave me a quick kiss, told me he loved me, grabbed his wallet, and rushed off to work. Just an ordinary day. Until I get the call from the school. It was Tom’s turn to pick up our daughter. He must be held up for some reason. I find Tom’s phone under our bed. Now I know there’s something seriously wrong. I scroll through his messages. A text sent late last night: I KNOW EVERYTHING.
