Erica's husband, Detective Patrik Hedström, has his worst suspicions confirmed as the mind-games aimed at Christian become a disturbing reality.

But, with the victims themselves concealing evidence, the investigation is going nowhere. Is their silence driven by fear or guilt? What is the secret they would rather die to protect than live to see revealed?

After returning to Befrey, the traditional English village she called home ten years ago, she's opened her dream yoga café, which doubles as both a yoga studio and a delicious vegetarian café. Even better, Keeley is dating handsome Detective Ben Taylor, and things are beginning to look serious.

Too bad things never seem to run smoothly for long. Eager to get involved with the local community, Keeley sets up a booth at the annual Belfrey Arts Festival, along with her nemesis, fellow small business owner Raquel. Preparing herself to play nice, she's shocked when Raquel's boyfriend, Town Mayor Gerald, is found dead after a public spat. Despite Ben's strict warnings to stay out of it, Keeley isn't going to let an innocent woman take the blame for the murder — even if it is glamorous, spoiled Raquel.

Now Keeley must balance a precarious murder investigation with the demands of her growing business and now-strained relationship. But when the killer takes a personal interest in Keeley, can she find the culprit before she gets bent out of shape?

Cat Catledge is a happy man. A self made multi millionaire at fifty, he has a loving wife and a beautiful teenaged daughter. And after years of hard work, he is taking his family on the ultimate dream sabbatical: a two year cruise to the South Pacific via the Panama Canal, aboard his custom built forty-three-foot yacht. He gets as far as Colombia.

Off that country's cocaine dusted shores, Cat's bliss — and his dearly loved family — are permanently shattered by an event so unexpected, so savage, and so tragically final that it leaves Cat completely devastated. Consumed by terrible guilt, he returns home alone, a broken man. Investigations by both the Colombian authorities and the U.S. State Department prove fruitless.

Then, late one night, Cat is awakened by the telephone and, from far away, over a static filled line, an achingly familiar voice utters a single, electrifying word.

Driven by a mixture of hope and anguish, Cat slips back into South America on a desperate search for the daughter he cannot bring himself to believe is dead. Aided by an Australian ex-convict, a beautiful television journalist, and a man known to him only as "Jim", Cat follows a trail of blood and graft, white powder and white slavery, and discovers in himself an unsuspected capacity for ruthlessness and cunning, and — even more surprising — a rekindled capacity for love.

The only thing Navy underwater archaeologist Undine Gray fears more than facing former SEAL Luke Sevick is never scuba diving again. But when a dive on a Cold War-era US Navy submarine ends with an accidental explosion, she's terrified of going into the deep, forcing her to beg the most experienced diver she knows to take her back to the bottom of the cold Salish Sea.

Luke wants nothing to do with the woman who destroyed his career a dozen years ago but finds it impossible to turn his back on her plea. Caught off guard by an attraction he doesn't want to feel, he's eager to be done with this mission of mercy. But when they dive on the wreck, he only gets sucked in deeper. Someone has been digging on the Navy sub … and it appears the explosion that almost killed Undine was no accident.

To find the truth, Undine must navigate murky waters and the unexpectedly hot undercurrents swirling between her and Luke. Worse, divers are searching for something lost in US waters during the Cold War, and they'll do anything to keep Luke and Undine from finding it first.

Dumpsters and dead bodies. Just an ordinary day for a P.I.

Tracy is not having a good day: first she falls into a dumpster and then she finds a body. A dead body. At least the suspect seems obvious. A cheating spouse Tracy's been tracking. The only problem is, he has an alibi — one provided by Tracy herself.

Tracy doesn't despair. With the help of her enigmatic boss, she sets out to uncover the truth that turns out to be more complicated than she had anticipated. And while she's at it, she might as well sort out her roommate's love life, have a fight or two with her ex-husband, and take up jogging. With or without the help of spandex sportswear and her boss.

All in all, an ordinary day for Tracy. Until the guns come out.

All three find themselves trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the thief and must find a way out before it's too late.

Most of the time, Defense Attorney Jerry Baker asked MacFarland to find the evidence he needs to get one of his usually guilty clients a lesser sentence or even off the hook. Most of the time, MacFarland does so because he trusts Baker's judgment about people. But this time, it's different. This time it's Jerry Baker who is accused of murder.

Jerry Baker is the prime suspect in the murder of his co-counsel. The evidence looks bad: a gun that had been in Baker's desk was the murder weapon, Baker's prints are on the gun, and there is evidence that Baker and his co-counsel didn't see eye-to-eye on how to advance their case.

MacFarland can't believe his friend is guilty. But to prove Baker's innocence, MacFarland will have to find out who really killed the Lazy Lawyer.
