Life shifts from boredom to murder for young, Gillian Crawford, a rich, gorgeous resident of Boca Grande, the quaint, resort village on Gasparilla Island in Southwest Florida. With its beautiful, white powdered beaches, crystal clear blue waters, and trophy size fighting tarpon, the barrier island is the quintessential getaway spot for those seeking peace and quiet, until murder and mayhem strike — then everyone's a suspect.

Gillian, recently employed by a CIA sponsored think tank, has returned home on leave. Her parents, mistaken targets of island drug runners, are deceased. Her closest relative is a reclusive billionaire, Jonathan Alistair Cromwell, owner of the colossal, five star Boca Grande Hotel. Transitioning from clandestine role playing to idyllic island life has been a challenge. She is bored. Her Mensa worthy IQ partly to blame. The town folk have pegged her as eccentric and detached. Her circle of friends is small: Sam Mitchell, the sheriff and ex-boyfriend; Hadley Stevenson, senior chef at the hotel and gadget guru; Father Francis Flannigan, the local priest and keeper of secrets; and new resident and father figure, Solomon Crawford. Neither Solomon nor Gillian like to talk about their past, which suits them both just fine. But when his catches up with him, she is targeted too. Suddenly her uncle's hotel is a hotbed for international guests, as Russian mobsters, Islamic extremists, Neo-Nazis, and a tall, dark, handsome stranger, all check in. Each on the hunt for what Solomon absconded with years ago: pink diamonds and a birdcage of enriched ore, enough for a dirty bomb or two.

Caught up in a ring of espionage and intrigue, Gillian must stay one step ahead if she's going to catch Solomon's killer. And then there's the treasure. What's an island without treasure?

If you think you've got problems, meet LAPD cop, Kate Sexton. She's just been promoted to the department's elite Robbery Homicide Division, along with her canine partner, Bernie, a first for the homicide unit. But things immediately go downhill when a famous singer's manager is shot and killed during one of Kate's mother's psychic séances. While Kate tries to balance her troubled relationship with her mother and an ex-cop, things get even crazier when the killer strikes again … and again … and then targets those closest to the investigation.

As she tracks the killer, things turn even more bizarre when Kate learns the suspect in the homicides is the leader of a blood thirsty cult out for revenge. To make matters worse, Bernie's sexual wanderlust is out of control, her best friend Natalie meddles in the case, and Kate's boss thinks she's leaking details about the murders to the press.

As the nineteenth century comes to a close, the illustrious Vanderbilt family dominates Newport, Rhode Island, high society. But when murder darkens a glittering affair at the Vanderbilt summer home, reporter Emma Cross learns that sometimes the actions of the cream of society can curdle one's blood …

Newport, Rhode Island, August 1895: She may be a less well-heeled relation, but as second cousin to millionaire patriarch Cornelius Vanderbilt, twenty-one-year-old Emma Cross is on the guest list for a grand ball at the Breakers, the Vanderbilts' summer home. She also has a job to do — report on the event for the society page of the Newport Observer.

But Emma observes much more than glitz and gaiety when she witnesses a murder. The victim is Cornelius Vanderbilt's financial secretary, who plunges off a balcony faster than falling stock prices. Emma's black sheep brother Brady is found in Cornelius's bedroom passed out next to a bottle of bourbon and stolen plans for a new railroad line. Brady has barely come to before the police have arrested him for the murder. But Emma is sure someone is trying to railroad her brother and resolves to find the real killer at any cost.
