  When Minerva identifies a murder weapon as a priceless sixteenth-century artifact, she's sure her eyes must be deceiving her. Even by Bryd Hollow standards, five hundred years seems like an absurd amount of time to hold a grudge. 
   
   
   
  The knife can't possibly be real. Can it? Each bizarre secret she uncovers leaves Minerva more determined to get to the bottom of the blade's origins. But the deeper she digs, the more she angers and alienates her new friends. And the police. And possibly a few unsavory criminals. 
   
   
   
  With nobody left on her side except her dog (and even he's getting a little mad), Minerva will have to risk everything to reveal the truth and unmask a killer. Her almost perfect new life might just depend on it.

  A referendum on Scottish independence is only days away, and the campaign has been expertly orchestrated by First Minister Susan Ward. All signs point to victory for the nationalists. But when senior civil servant John Millar is shot in a Glasgow alley on a furiously rain-soaked night, his death triggers a chain of catastrophic events. An incriminating phone number and video are found in his possession. 
   
   
   
  Into this chaos walks reporter Fulton Mackenzie. A man himself blighted by tragedy but also someone used to seeing beneath the surface to find the truth. Who was John Millar? Who wanted him dead? And why? And the biggest question of all—who is trying to alter the future path of an entire nation?

  The last thing Danny wants to see published is his obituary 
  The year is 1975. Danny Jacobs is an ambitious, young American journalist who’s just arrived in Bombay for a new assignment. He’s soon caught up in the chaos of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s domestic “Emergency.” 
  Willy Smets is Danny’s enigmatic expat neighbor. He’s a charming man, but with suspicious connections. As a monsoon drenches Bombay, Danny falls hard for Sushmita, Smets’s beguiling and clever lover—and the infatuation is mutual. 
  "The Emergency," a virtual coup by the prime minister, is only the first twist in the high-stakes drama of Danny’s new life in India. The assassination of a police officer by a Marxist extremist, as well as Danny’s obsession with the inscrutable Sushmita, conspire to put his career—and life—in jeopardy. And, of course, the temptations of Willy Smets’s seductive personality sit squarely at the heart of the matter.  
   Democracy is fragile and the lines of loyalty and betrayal often cross and cannot be untangled.  
   Perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Steve Berry

  Four years ago, a young heiress survived an attack that claimed the lives of both her parents. The crime made headlines all over Los Angeles, both for the vicious nature of the killings and the seemingly random nature of the attack: nothing was stolen, and the van Aust family had no obvious enemies. Melia van Aust fled the city soon after the murders—which were never solved—but her brother Jasper has not been seen since. After a childhood spent in the shadow of her famous parents, Rainey Hall understands dysfunctional families. She still hasn’t recovered from a tragedy that tore her own family apart six years earlier. It's part of why she started her own private investigation agency—to aid victims of crimes that might otherwise go unsolved. When Melia returns to LA and moves back into her family home, someone begins sending her increasingly violent messages that allude to her parents' murders. She hires Rainey to track down the culprit and find her missing brother. Touched by their similarities, Rainey feels compelled to protect Melia, even as their relationship becomes more than professional. Soon, Rainey finds herself falling down the rabbit hole of Melia’s life. Her quest to find Melia’s stalker will bring her in contact with disgraced royals, seedy neighbors, violent ex-boyfriends, and former staff—each one with their own secrets. As the threats against Melia escalate and the two women are drawn together, it’s only a matter of time before another victim turns up...
