The debut book written by author Jamie Mason is entitled ‘Three Graves Full’. It was released by the Gallery Books publication in 2013. Mason has described the story of this book as revolving around the life of a man named Jason Getty. The plot shows how a man gets deprived of peace in his life when he knows that a dead body has been buried in his backyard. Initially, Jason Getty is introduced as a mild-mannered man. Around a year ago, he had killed a person and wished that he had never met him. To make matters worse, he ended up burying the man in his own backyard, thereby bringing the problem too close to his home. As the days pass by, Jason Getty begins to get used to the fact that he has committed a heinous crime and has gone undetected. When he starts living without the fear of his secret coming out, the police receives a tip and arrives at his door to search his property.

During the search, the police find two dead bodies buried on Jason’s property. But, what shocks him the most is the fact that none of those two bodies is of the man killed him by him. What follows next is a race against time for Jason Getty to prove that he has no idea how the two bodies ended up in his backyard. While still living in the fear of the unraveling of his actual crime, Jason realizes that several strangers have started taking a keen interest in his life and property for their agendas. A fringe-dweller keeps running from the past life that seems to be gaining in on him, whereas, a troubled lady searches for her disappeared fiance.

Two earnest detectives working for the police succeed in setting all the pieces of the puzzle together with the assistance of a police dog. As the story proceeds further, every character of this intriguing story learns that knowing a major part of the mystery doesn’t guarantee that an error can’t be made in finding the culprit. This novel tells a darkly humorous story with a thrilling twist. It is filled with a lot of suspense and keeps the readers intrigued until they have not turned the last page.

Another exciting novel penned by Mason is called ‘The Hidden Things’. It was also published by Gallery Books in 2019. This novel is an atmospheric, hair-raising thriller inspired by a real-life unsolved mystery of a 17th-century painting’s theft.

She experiences an incident at this young age when she bravely fends off vicious attackers with the help of her home security system. Carly succeeds in escaping the attack in just 28 seconds and her heroic efforts become viral after appearing online. As the views of her video continue to increase, the lives of 4 desperate people get changed forever due to a thing appearing in a shot of the video.

Carly Liddel’s stepfather, John, gets into action to protect the darkest secret of his life. He happened to get his hands on a 400-year-old painting from the Golden Age and kept it in his suburban house. The art dealer, who was left devastated after the painting had vanished from her possession, sees an opportunity to get back on her feet again by claiming the painting. But, a deadly enforcer has set his sights on the valuable painting to deliver it to his billionaire patrons for a prize. He doesn’t care if he has to kill someone to obtain the treasure.
