A very theatrical serial killer is on the loose, and Laura soons realizes that there's a connection to the local art school.

Just as the investigation is shifting into gear, however, Laura faces another challenge: Ophelia is back, one year after she disappeared. Initially concerned about someone who seems to be tracking her, Ophelia soon throws herself into the task of helping Laura. But when she comes face to face with the killer, Ophelia realizes that simply turning her into the police might not be an option.

Publisher: ePublishing Works!

  

This title was listed for free as of January 20, 2015 at 7:00 AM ET.

On an icy February night, the body of Steven Pleasant, a prominent Portland, Maine physician, grows cold in his parked Mercedes. All signs point to a john killed by a disgruntled hooker: his pants are unzipped, wallet is gone, and the good doctor has a reputation for entertaining girls in his car.

But the deeper Detective Sergeant Joe Burgess digs, the muddier the case becomes. While juggling hookers, wives, ex-wives, fathers, stepfathers, dealers and doctors, a nurse on Pleasant's staff suggests another angle — disgruntled patients.

Now, ensconced in the darkness of a sleeping hospital, Burgess comes face-to-face with ghosts from his past and must decide what being a detective really means.

When Tudor explorers returned from the New World, they brought back a name out of half-forgotten Viking legend: skraylings.

But what do these seemingly magical beings really want in Elizabeth I's capital?

Mal Catlyn, a down-at-heel swordsman, is seconded to the ambassador's bodyguard, but assassination attempts are the least of his problems. What he learns about the skraylings and their unholy powers could cost England her new ally — and Mal his soul.

When Mal's dream about a skrayling shipwreck in the Mediterranean proves reality, it sets him on a path to the beautiful, treacherous city of Venice — and a conflict of loyalties that will place him and his friends in greater danger than ever.
