Click here to take a Look Inside Girl Waits With Gun.

Constance Kopp doesn't quite fit the mold. She towers over most men, has no interest in marriage or domestic affairs, and has been isolated from the world since a family secret sent her and her sisters into hiding fifteen years ago.

One day a belligerent and powerful silk factory owner runs down their buggy, and a dispute over damages turns into a war of bricks, bullets, and threats as he unleashes his gang on their family farm. When the sheriff enlists her help in convicting the men, Constance is forced to confront her past and defend her family — and she does it in a way that few women of 1914 would have dared.

— Girl Waits With Gun by Amy Stewart

It is it is 1899, and the Silk Trains — with their fragile cargo of silk, valued at three quarters of a million dollars — race across the continent to New York. If the thieves don't get to them first …

Broke and hungry, gentleman adventurer John Granville finds work guarding the trains. His job? — to keep the thieves away. Fleeing his past, Granville can't seem to find a future.

Until one of the would-be thieves is found dead in the rail yards. And Granville's friend and fellow gold-seeker Sam Scott is arrested for murder. With the Hanging Judge due back in town any day.

To find the killer, Granville dives into the seedy side of the city — the burlesque halls, gambling joints, brothels and opium dens that line reeking mudflats. Along the way he finds companionship in odd places and an ally in Emily Turner, the emancipated daughter of a very Victorian father.

Will Granville uncover the truth and find the killer in time to save his friend?

Spring 1921. The Great War is over, Prohibition is in full swing, the Great Depression is still years away. Wealthy families flock to the glittering "summer cottages" they built in Newport, Rhode Island.

Having sheltered in Newport during his misspent youth, attorney Adrian de la Noye is no stranger to the city. Though he'd prefer to forget the place, he returns to revise the will of a well-heeled client. Bennett Chapman's offspring have the usual concerns about their father's much-younger fiancée. But when they learn of the old widower's firm belief that his late first wife, who "communicates" via séance, has chosen the stunning Catharine Walsh for him, they're shocked. And for Adrian, encountering Catharine in the last place he saw her decades ago proves to be a far greater surprise.

Adrian is here to handle a will, and he intends to do so — just as soon as he unearths every last secret about the Chapmans, Catharine Walsh … and his own very fraught history.

This is a new ebook edition of a book published in hardcover by Hyperion in 1995.

The murder of Quin and Mike's old friend, Lou Hernando, takes them to the mysterious island of Tango Key. The primary suspect is Hernando's 17-year-old sidekick, Ross Blade, a refuge from a troubled family who found as real home with Lou in the cliffside house, a repository of secrets from a time when pirates roamed the island. Every major event in the old house is accompanied by unexpected rustlings and the faint scent of jasmine.

Quin and Mike discover that Lou left behind a trail of heartbroken women. But the object of his erotic obsessions was a woman whose image adorns the main room of the house: Luz, the mistress of the bones, a former slave who had been brought to Tango Key from Cuba. Only by digging into this woman's history can the identity of Lou's killer be found.

The monks of the Discarnate Brotherhood prefer their "famine bread" on the more sawdusty-side of unpalatable — curious customers. And they're not the only mortifiers of the flesh preaching hunger as the solution to Melbourne's troubled masses.

Someone's peddling a particularly potent herbal "diet tea" that almost does-in Corinna's two young shop assistants; a body turns up in the park, dead of malnutrition; Corinna's mother arrives unexpectedly, ejected from her commune for forcing her own extreme dietary views on the collective. There are a lot of people with food issues making life pretty complicated for a plus-sized baker who just wants to make the perfect muffin.

They find him on the beach, shooting bullets into the sand.

His name? Jeremiah Cooper, the son of the bullheaded high school football coach. Slight of build, soft of voice, he's got all kinds of torment lurking behind his eyes. But despite Garrison Gage's best efforts, he can't pull the kid out of his shell. Then someone turns up dead at the local community college, and Jeremiah's fragile world shatters.

Add a crisis in Gage's good friend's life, an ongoing feud with his adopted daughter about her life choices, and a hauntingly beautiful FBI agent with secrets of her own, and it's a lot more drama than a half-retired private investigator with a bum knee wanted. Whatever happened to quiet rainy nights sipping bourbon, watching the sun sink beneath the waves on the Oregon coast, and trying to think of a ten-letter word that means grumpy and glad about it?

But before Gage can even write the word curmudgeon, he's pulled deeper into Jeremiah's world — a world of sex, secrets, and a sadistic evil that preys on human weakness.

Magnus McFall was a comic on the brink of his big break when the world came to an end. Now, like other survivors of "the Sweats," the mysterious plague that has decimated the planet, he is a man on the run.

Thrown into unwilling partnership with an escaped convict named Jeb, Magnus flees the eerie desolation of de-populated London to make the long journey north, clinging to hope that the sickness has not reached his family in Scotland. Traveling through a familiar landscape now fraught with danger, Magnus finds himself a stranger in a world ruled by men like Jeb — hard-hearted, practical men quick to make life-or-death decisions.

In a world re-written with a harsh code of justice, and a new set of rules where people barter for their existence with food and weapons, survival is the bottom line. But when Magnus and Jeb stumble across a murder during their journey, they will have to decide whether finding the truth about a single death can weigh in the balance against the need to survive.
