  From critically acclaimed, Edgar-nominated author Steve Ulfelder-Conway Sax is back in a thrilling and heart-wrenching story of how far a father will go to save his sonConway Sax is a man seeking redemption.  A man with a deeply checkered past currently paying for his sins by helping Gus Biletnikov stay sober. Wise-ass Gus, son of a wealthy investment banker, drives Conway nuts. But he also reminds him of his own estranged son, and so Conway finds himself deeply invested in his wellbeing.When a brutal triple-murder takes place in Gus's halfway house, Conway suspects Gus was the intended victim, and resolves to find the killer in his usual full-tilt, no-holds-barred fashion. The list of suspects soon includes the longtime organized-crime warlord of Springfield, Massachusetts; Gus's own father, who's a bundle of insecurity despite his fortune; the father's second wife, a stunning beauty webbed in ugly motives; and a Houston con man who'll swipe your gold fillings but crack you up while he does so. But the case is no laughing matter to Conway when somebody close to him is murdered. To find the killer and prevent yet more senseless death, he needs help from both an ambitious Brazilian-American state cop, and an unlikely criminal source. Along the way, Conway's personal responsibilities clash with his vow to help fellow alcoholics, forcing him to make his toughest decision yet in this unforgettable page-turner reminiscent of Robert B. Parker and Dennis Lehane.

  A Hollywood caterer must serve up justice when a Halloween party’s host drops dead in this cozy mystery series debut. 
   
  Madeline Bean, caterer to the stars, is in the middle of the biggest job of her career. She and her partner Wesley have pulled off Hollywood’s most outrageous A-list Halloween party for notorious producer Bruno Huntley, complete with an eerie fortuneteller who is astonishingly accurate, and exotic food that’s to die for. Before long, Bruno is thrashing and writhing out on the dance floor. Just one problem: he’s not standing up. And soon, he’s not even breathing. 
   
  The newly late Mr. Huntley was poisoned, that’s certain. But the number of suspects with a yen to send Bruno to the devil could fill an audition for extras in the next Quentin Tarantino flick. When Wesley is arrested for the murder because of a long-standing dispute with the maniacal mogul, Madeline knows he couldn’t be guilty. But to prove it, she must wade through the muck of a mudslinging family, outrun a pair of crazed canines, dodge a pair of well-aimed bullets, and expose a slew of secrets that could put a soap opera to shame. Somebody’s cooked up a murder, and it’s up to Madeline to find out who—before she faces a fadeout of her own.

  STRONG, SMART, AND FAST AND TOO SMART. That's how they described tomboy Hattie Dumond, born in bilingual New Orleans in 1914. No one, including Hattie, thought that would save her life two decades later. She struggled against the restrictions women faced in those early 20th century years. Yes, she's a tomboy, but can slip into the role of debutante, and trains her intellect to straddle both. 
    
  In Paris, she studies medicine at the Sorbonne, graduating as Hitler's Nazis invade France. Stranded in Europe, Hattie is forced to fend for herself and agrees to a marriage proposal by an officer in the French Army. It's the only way to get out of Paris before it's too late. 
    
  She learns to love Luke DeValcourt, the good man she marries, then loses him to a Nazi prison and Hattie joins the French Resistance to rescue him and others, then escapes with Luke across the Channel to England.  
    
  Trouble follows Hattie like a pebble stuck in a shoe. She can't see that danger will challenge her wherever she goes. Hattie has a lot to learn…if she lives. 
   Her return to Louisiana offers a lingering mix of pitfalls and danger that threaten her medical practice and the people she loves. What must she do to prevail? Will she? Or will she suffer the terrible consequences?
