Sinopse

A string of murders tangles up British detective Patrick Dawlish in an intricate web of deception in this riveting World War II–era mystery. 
 
Notified by his wife, Felicity, of the killing of an Auxiliary Territorial Service girl, intelligence officer Patrick Dawlish is reminded of a similar murder of another ATS woman two months earlier. Her suspected killer is in prison awaiting trial. Both victims sport similar tattoos: a five-point star with a circle in the middle. Something is amiss.  
 
When a lieutenant is shot on the same day, Dawlish is unable to curb his curiosity and is given leave to take on the case. With a possibly innocent man imprisoned, time is of the essence. What Dawlish doesn’t know is that a brilliant mastermind is behind the scenes pulling strings, and the man behind bars isn’t his only puppet. Dawlish’s good reputation is known far and wide but it’s about to be used against him, putting in danger those closest to him . . .

    How much distance does it take to get close to someone? 
    After police detective Jack Christoff is gunned down on his way to testify in a sex trafficking trial, his widow, Isabel, retreats to the small Southern Point farm she and Jack had planned as their forever home. Shunning her two loving brothers, friends, and legal colleagues, Isabel struggles to complete the home's renovation alone, her only companions a rescued dog, her gruff neighbor, and reckless flyovers from a crop-dusting plane. An encounter with stranded motorist Neil Hammish offers Isabel an unexpected reprieve from her loneliness, and the chance to use her legal expertise to help with a local environmental crisis. Their friendly project meetups soon turn to fiery erotic sessions, yet grief and fear keep Isabel from any exchange of true intimacy or trust. Her relationship with Neil self-destructs, leaving her on her remote farm with nothing but fear and loss. As Jack’s murder investigation nears an end, unanswered questions—some that may pose a real threat to Isabel—remain. If Isabel’s worst-case scenario becomes a terrifying reality, can anyone get close enough to her in time to come to her rescue?

    "The entwined stories and Amato's passionate narration will remain in listeners' minds long after the mysteries are solved." —AudioFile on In the Shadow of VesuviusIn the latest installment of Tasha Alexander’s New York Times bestselling series, Lady Emily must solve a string of high stakes “accidents” while trapped in a lavish villa in the Bavarian Alps.In the winter of 1906, Lady Emily and husband Colin are invited to the opulent home of Baroness Ursula von Duchtel in the Bavarian alps. Outside is a mountainous winter wonderland with a view of Mad King Ludwig’s fairy tale castle. Inside, the villa hosts a magnificent but eclectic art collection—as well as an equally eclectic collection of fellow guests, among them a musician, an art dealer, a coquette from the demi-monde, and Kaspar, the Baroness’ boorish son-in-law, whom, it begins to appear, someone wants dead. Almost forty years earlier, Niels, a young German lord, sings to himself in the forest surrounding those same alps, capturing the attention of a not-yet-mad King Ludwig. Niels and the king become fast friends, their relationship deepening into something more as their time together stretches on. But while King Ludwig is content to live out a fantasy where their responsibilities don't matter and the outside world doesn't affect them, Niels knows that their bliss cannot last forever... Decades later, Emily continues to investigate Kaspar's increasingly lethal “mishaps" when tragedy strikes, ensnaring the guests in a web of fear and suspicion. It’s up to Emily to sift through old secrets and motivations, some stretching far into the past, to unmask the killer.A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.
