Everything changes during the Mardi Gras ride when Suzanne is playfully abducted by a masked man on a white horse and the famous Magnolia Hill silver disappears shortly thereafter.

Determined to discover the romantic rider's identity and solve the mystery of the lost silver, Suzanne unearths small town secrets that might be better left alone and finds her life in jeopardy. Will her masked rider come to her rescue?

Angie Walker is a few days from fulfilling a life-long dream of being her own boss. Soon, she and her best friend will open a treasure/antique business on the Florida east coast. But as a reporter for the Tequesta Sun, she has one last assignment — interview former boss Frederick Canterly about his five-decade career as publisher of the Madera Beach Tribune. The interview should be a piece of cake but her former boss very inconveniently drops dead. Police believe he's been poisoned and detectives find an incriminating vial in Angie's purse. Now instead of opening the door to her business dream, she may open the door to a prison nightmare.

With the help of long-time friend and reporter Harry Landon, she begins a desperate search for the shrewd killer who framed her. But Canterly made enemies during his time in Madera Beach. Many people hated him, with good reason. Even Landon had an opportunity and a very good motive to kill the Madera Beach Publisher.

While keeping her eye on her good friend Harry, Angie will have to shift through the evidence and find the ruthless murderer. But in doing so, she will also become a target. Unless she is careful, intelligent and ruthless, Canterly will not be the only murder victim in this small tightly-knit community.

Phantom Angel by David Handler, a Benji Golden Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Minotaur Books

    

When it comes to tracking down teen runaways, there is no private investigator in New York City better than streetwise Benji Golden. But his newest client is Morrie Frankel, the last of the great Broadway showmen. Morrie's current extravaganza, a lavish $65 million musical adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, is the biggest unfolding disaster the Great White Way has ever seen. Rumor has it, if he doesn't find a deep-pocketed "angel," or investor, soon, he might go down and take the production with him.

Morrie thought he had found such an investor in hedge fund billionaire R.J. Farnell, who promised to keep the teetering production afloat. But Farnell and his $12 million have vanished. Benji tracks Farnell to his girlfriend, Jonquil Beausoleil, who turns the investigation on its head. When Morrie is found gunned down on 42nd Street, Benji finds himself smack in the middle of a high-profile murder investigation, and he'll have to pierce through a lot of Broadway gossip before he can find the killer.

Boston P.I. Matt Jacob has a rude and startling wake up visit from his shrink. Matt has a cloudy past — a freak accident that wiped out most of his family and a P.I. license buried somewhere in his Depression-era, Art Deco-style apartment. He does his best to maintain his self-imposed alienation by watching too much TV and doing too many drugs.

But he's forced to get off the couch when his therapist asks him to investigate a suspicious break-in at her office building. At the same time, his best friend, Simon, a hotshot lawyer, persuades him to follow his wife and find the cause of her hellish nightmares.

What begins as two simple favors soon turns into a fight for his life when the unrelated cases combine to snare Matt into a web of adultery, betrayal, and murder.

Now Matt faces demons from his past as well as a psychopath bent on killing him when he investigates two ominously similar deaths occurring twenty years apart. Matt disturbs more than one ghost as he spirals down a path of drugs, sex, and violence into the mysteries of his own past.
