One of Dr. Nicholas Black's high-profile clients, a beautiful young soap opera star, has been found dead, taped to a chair at a fully set table … submerged in the lake. Back in L.A., Claire investigated the rich, famous, and the deadly — but she never expected the problems of the privileged to follow her to this sleepy small town.

Immersed in the case, Claire finds herself drawn to the charismatic doctor, spending more and more time in his company — and in his bed. Now, to catch a killer, Claire will have to enter the darkest recesses of the human mind. But is Black leading her there to help her … or luring her ever deeper into a madman's grip?

Melody has to go undercover and pretend she's a new recruit for the Pumpkin Bandits. That means she has to spend the night with the other recruits in an abandoned house that automatically locks. And she's pretty sure she's being watched by the bandits — from inside the house. She's trapped inside with people who could be killers.

With the help of her cat and her friends, Gabrielle and Corey, Melody will solve the murder. That is, if she can last one night in a spooky, run-down house as far from town as you can get.

Fortunately, the house isn't haunted. Yet.

Hawker chases the dragon …

London 1940. When a famous jazz singer is discovered dead in her suite at the Savoy Hotel it is quickly established that a heroin overdose was the cause of her death. Inspector Hawker's pursuit of the drug's suppliers proves to be a long and winding trail that ranges from the opulence of the West End, where cocaine is sniffed from silver trays, to London's Chinatown, Limehouse, where the legendary giant rat of Sumatra lurks in the yellow fog that creeps up the river and envelopes the East End in its shroud.

Unfazed by fog, unconcerned about giant rats and unafraid of ruffling a few upper class feathers, Hawker plods doggedly on with an investigation that begins with a packet of condoms and ends in a pipeful of tobacco.

In 1881 Chicago, the idea of a female detective is virtually unheard of. But when famed crime buster Allan Pinkerton opens his agency's doors to a handful of women, one intrepid actress with her own troubled past is driven to defy convention and take on a new and dangerous role …

Since the age of eleven, when her mother was murdered, the life of the theater is all Lilly Long has known. Now twenty-two, she has blossomed into an accomplished Shakespearean actress. But after her innocence — and her savings — are taken from her by a seductive scoundrel, Lilly vows to leave the stage, enter the real world, and save others from a similar fate. Following in the footsteps of the country's first female detective, Lilly persuades Allan Pinkerton to take her on.

Lilly's acting skills are a perfect fit for her real-life role as a Pinkerton operative. But her first case is a baptism by fire as she is sent to the small town of Vandalia to solve the mystery of a pastor who disappeared with his family — and the church's funds. When Lilly arrives, she finds the mere mention of the reverend's name provokes enmity or suspicious silence. Shadowed by a second Pinkerton agent with an agenda of his own, Lilly begins to uncover Vandalia's sordid secrets. But she'll have to deliver the performance of a lifetime to survive the final act of this drama.
