Caroline Laughery agrees to meet her ex-husband, Charles, at Odessa, a silver mining town in the high desert of California. He never arrives.

Charles Laughery, a wealthy, powerful member of an international cartel awakes to find himself trapped, in total darkness, inside an abandoned mine. He keeps himself sane by enumerating those who might be responsible for his abduction.

The mystery begins to unfold when Caroline receives help to search for Charles from Josh Logan, a private detective. She soon finds herself romantically torn between the two men. A young couple, Kate Wilson and Mike Connelly, join in the search, and their traumatic pasts are woven into the plot.

Tension increases with every page as the investigation takes the story to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Durango, Colorado, culminating at the Anasazi Indian cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde.

To make matters worse, a traitor close to the president alerts others of Gerrit's mission. Only days away from the attack, the team must stay alive long enough to complete their mission and thwart whoever is trying to orchestrate their deaths.

Racing from the blue waters of Florida's Key West and California's Lake Tahoe to the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea, everything comes down to this — who will survive? Gerrit's past again rises to create conflict between himself, his Mossad-trained partner Alena Shapiro, and a flame from the past — CIA agent Shakeela Vaziri. Beyond romance, beyond survival, Gerrit and his team must race against the clock as attack planes launch. Every second counts.

Intrigued by an invitation from a man named Oxley, Annabel and Robin venture out to Wales to a beautiful but suspicious island castle. On the way they meet Derek Bruce and when they arrive, six others: the gorgeous Peter Garside, his cousin Fiona Trayle and her fiancée, Doctor Adola and a married couple named Farrington. There's also the Doolan family who live and work at the castle. Then Oxley informs them that some of them have harmed him in the past and he intends to exact retribution — but only on some of them. They decide he must be mad, for none can remember having met him before. Then all links with the mainland are cut, a guest is assaulted, and another disappears. And Oxley too goes missing.

The guests are left to discuss amongst themselves who could possibly have harmed Oxley in the past and who is up for punishment and who is behind the disappearances and murders. They start turning on each other, questioning every move and motivation …

They reach out to the mainland to the police and Inspector Hannassy makes his way over to the island to investigate. Secrets come out and the murder investigation develops …

But the violence continues, culminating in murder. Is there another madman on the island? Who is lying when they say they don't know why they're there? And how long will it be before the murderer is caught … ?

Hiring Edson to investigate seemed like a good idea at the time, but Taylor is going to need more help than he can give her. And Teddy's drive to deliver ghostly drama is enough to get somebody killed.

Mila Voss is dead. That's what the team hired to terminate her had reported, and that's how her file had been marked. Dead. Six years now. So why did she suddenly show up on a hotel's security camera in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania? Those who'd paid for her elimination are more than a little curious.

One person should know what happened — Jonathan Quinn, one of the best cleaners in the business, the man who'd been tasked with the disposal of her body. Only Quinn isn't exactly easy to get ahold of these days, and he may not be willing to share the answer.

A killer takes refuge in the blacked-out streets of wartime London, upending the world of one of Britain's greatest painters in this chilling and captivating reimagining of the life of Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon walks the streets of World War II London, employed as a warden for the ARP to keep watch for activities that might tip off the Axis powers. Before the war, Bacon had travelled to Berlin and Paris picking up snatches of culture from a succession of middle-aged men charmed by his young face. Known for his flamboyant personal life and expensive taste, Bacon has returned home to live with his former nanny — who's also his biggest collector — in a cramped bohemian apartment.

But one night, death intrudes on his after-hours paradise. When a young man is found dead in the park, his head smashed in, Bacon and the rest of London's demimonde realize that they have much more to fear than the faraway scream of war.

Firebreak by Tricia Fields, a Josie Gray Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Minotaur Books

    

Texas is experiencing its worst season of wildfires in a decade, forcing police chief Josie Gray to evacuate the citizens of Artemis and the surrounding ranchlands. Not everyone makes it out alive, however.

In the fire's wake, Josie discovers the body of someone who didn't leave in time, inside the partly burned home of a local country music singer. A syringe found near the body offers an answer for why the deceased missed the evacuation. The question remains, though, why the unlucky soul was in the house in the first place. As Josie investigates, digging further into the country music scene and its hard-living characters, she begins to wonder whether or not something more sinister took place.

Trusting the wrong person had gotten his father killed. CIA agent Ed Carter isn't about to repeat the mistake.

But when the real killer returns and threatens not just her but her family, Bailey must place her faith in the only man who can keep them from being silenced forever …
