The Ninja's Daughter by Susan Spann, Amazon Kindle format

Autumn, 1565: When an actor's daughter is murdered on the banks of Kyoto's Kamo River, master ninja Hiro Hattori and Portuguese Jesuit Father Mateo are the victim's only hope for justice.

As political tensions rise in the wake of the shogun's recent death, and rival warlords threaten war, the Kyoto police forbid an investigation of the killing, to keep the peace — but Hiro has a personal connection to the girl, and must avenge her. The secret investigation leads Hiro and Father Mateo deep into the exclusive world of Kyoto's theater guilds, where they quickly learn that nothing, and no one, is as it seems. With only a mysterious golden coin to guide them, the investigators uncover a forbidden love affair, a missing mask, and a dangerous link to corruption within the Kyoto police department that leaves Hiro and Father Mateo running for their lives.

After months between gigs, Chloe Carter's dishy boyfriend, Josh Driscoll, has just landed his dream job: executive chef at Simmer, Boston's soon-to-be hottest new restaurant. As Josh preps for a New Year's Eve grand opening, Chloe, on winter break from grad school, hooks him up with Food for Thought, an annual charity fundraiser. It seems like a win-win — Simmer will give the dining public a tantalizing taste of things to come, and Josh will showcase his culinary talents — until murder makes a late addition to the menu.

It's not the kind of publicity Chloe was looking for. Now wealthy club owner Oliver Kipper is dead, bludgeoned to death. The murder weapon is a state-of-the-art professional-grade food processor that, unfortunately, belongs to Josh. By opening night, the list of suspects, including Josh's ex-girlfriends, is almost as long as the line to get into Simmer. Suddenly, Chloe's risking her life to unmask a killer in a town where murder is becoming an acquired taste.

Lacey Flint has been living in a houseboat on the River Thames, and she's becoming a part of London's weird and wonderful riverboat community. Against her friends' better judgment, she's taken up swimming in the Thames, and she feels closer than ever to Detective Mark Joesbury, despite his involvement in a complicated undercover case. For the first time in her life, as she recovers from the trauma of the last few months, Lacey begins to feel almost happy.

Then, at dawn one hot summer morning while swimming down the river, Lacey finds the body of a shrouded young woman in the water. She assumes it was chance — after all, she's recently joined the marine policing unit, and she knows how many dead bodies are pulled out of the river every year, most the result of tragic accidents. But further investigation leads her policing team to suspect the woman's body was deliberately left for Lacey to find. Lacey's no longer a homicide detective, but as she begins to notice someone keeping a strangely close eye on her, she's inexorably drawn into the investigation.

Carrie O'Connor, the CIS fiercest field operative, is in Pakistan for an extremely secretive meeting with one of the local Taliban leaders. But she falls into an ambush that almost claims her life, and she begins to suspect a mole inside her team is betraying their covert operations.

As she starts her search for the traitor, Carrie is informed about a ruthless ex-KGB assassin, who may have been implicated in her father's disappearance in Moscow at the height of the Cold War. Carrie dives into this inquiry, and soon finds herself at the center of a decade-long intrigue. Trying to balance her feelings and rein in her emotions, she learns about her ex-partner, Justin Hall, who has gone rogue and is hiding among the lawless terrorist-infested badlands of Syria and Iraq.

Carrie is determined to dispel the cloud of uncertainty looming over her father's disappearance and eager to bring Justin, the former love of her life, back home. She embarks into what may turn out to be her most dangerous and heart-wrenching operation. Her deadly quest for justice will take her from the blood-soaked Syrian deserts back to Pakistan to settle the accounts once for all with the man who killed her father, and the traitor who backstabbed her and her team.

Instead, Diamond discovers something even worse — a civilian on a motorized tricycle was involved in the crash and has been lying on the side of the road for hours.
