24 Hours from Tulse Hill
Fran Hiatt
A Police Procedural
Publisher: Fran Hiatt

Rob Trent is frightened, insecure, intolerant, vulnerable and a bit of a drama queen; just normal then for a bloke pushing forty. Parting from his soul mate Sarah makes life unbearable for Trent, as well for the people who have to work with him in New Scotland Yard's Bloc-Busters squad. Self-pity leads to neglect of himself and his work, and he is shot during a raid on a gang of human traffickers.

Convalescing in his seaside home town of Bournemouth, he tries to rid himself of his demons as well as his crutches. The local CID boss thinks Trent's salvation will come through helping his own depleted squad, and reluctantly Trent sacrifices his sick leave to help out.

He is soon investigating the murders of an ABBA tribute band musician, two young women, a B&B landlady, the suicide of a former glamour model from the Swinging Sixties and human remains found buried in the grounds of her country house.

Trent's multi-tasking malaise isn't helped by a middle-aged detective constable trying to re-invent himself, a policewoman who thinks he's Mr Right and a corrupt detective inspector convinced that Trent is agent provocateur. To solve anything Trent needs more bodies, but he just keeps finding dead ones.

Ten years ago, Sophie and Jack survived a small plane crash. They fell in love in the five days they were stranded on a mountainside, but Jack's injuries were ultimately fatal. Jack's love and death left indelible fingerprints on Sophie's soul and completely changed her life.

He plunges her into after-shocks caused by the five days she spent with Jack in the mountains, stirring up state governors, district attorneys and one of the deadliest crime lords in the land. Martin's secret puts Sophie directly in their cross-hairs.

Now Spider believes he's been wronged and is out for vengeance — and Alex Hawke is his number-one target.

Hawke's only hope is to lure his deadly enemy into a trap he can't escape — and it's a place Hawke knows better than anyone: his seaside home in Bermuda.

An Abigail Timberlake, Den of Antiquity Mystery (3rd in series)
Publisher: HarperCollins

Every shroud has a silver lining …

Abigail Timberlake, owner of the Den of Antiquity, has never been happier. She is about to marry the man of her dreams AND has just outbid all other Charlotte, North Carolina, antique dealers for an exquisite English tea service. Then Mama (who is running off to be a nun) stops by to deliver an early wedding present, and it rains on Abby's parade. The one-of-a-kind tea service Abby paid big bucks for has a twin. A frazzled Abby finds more trouble on her doorstep — literally — when a local auctioneer mysteriously collapses outside her shop and a press clipping of her engagement announcement turns up in the wallet of a dead man. (Obviously she won't be getting a wedding present from him.)

Tracing the deceased to a small town in the Pennsylvania Dutch country, Abby heads above the Mason-Dixon Line to search for clues to the origins of faux tea services. Accompanied by a trio of eccentric dealers and her beloved but stressed-out cat, she longs for her Southern homeland as she confronts a menagerie of dubious characters. Digging for answers, Abby realizes that she might just be digging her own grave in — horrors! — Yankeeland.
