Avery will do whatever it takes to discover the illness's cause, and she vows to keep her heartbreaking history with Dr. Grant Jones in the past — even if reignited passion brings them dangerously close.

For Grant, ending this outbreak and regaining Avery's trust are vital. As their hunt to contain a lethal pathogen escalates, he'll put everything on the line to avert disaster. But will another insidious threat stop them both cold?

A film star begs Croft to find his missing wife and daughter …

Hollywood icon Roy Alonzo has just learned that in Los Angeles there is no such thing as a simple divorce. After years of bitterness and jealousy, his wife Melissa leaves him, taking most of his money, property, and five days a week with their only child. When Roy begins dating again, Melissa accuses him of sexually abusing their daughter, and disappears with her. Alonzo asks Santa Fe detective Joshua Croft to find them and prove his innocence, but there's a problem: Croft thinks Alonzo is lying.

Croft refuses to help the star — but a surprise visitor changes his mind. Norman Montoya, underworld kingpin of Santa Fe, is Alonzo's uncle, and he convinces Croft that the fugitives are in jeopardy. The women have been swallowed by an international conspiracy, and it will take brute force — not star power — to bring them back.

And when the danger around her intensifies to deadly levels, Mercy knows she must discover the truth behind her family's magic — before it destroys her.

I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella.

Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared. So, I've enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twins — the reclusive architects of America's most sensitive electronic networks — to help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her.

Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me. Hacking, espionage, sexy spy-men — it's a geek girl's dream come true. If it weren't for those gun-toting thugs …

Jerry and Pamela North's upstairs apartment has been empty as long as they can remember. It's an ordinary Greenwich Village abode, and the Norths are ordinary Villagers — which means they can't bear to go more than a few days between cocktail parties. So when Pamela decides to stage a soiree in the empty apartment, Jerry goes along begrudgingly. But what seems inconvenient becomes felonious the moment they find a dead man in the tub. He has been bludgeoned, stripped naked, and left to rot. The party is most certainly off.

Which neighbor was rude enough to leave a body in the upstairs tub? Though they should know better, Mr. and Mrs. North can't resist getting involved. Before they know it, they're right in the thick of a manhunt, and Greenwich Village will never be the same.

Name (noun): a word or set of words by which a person or thing is known, addressed, or referred to.

So what's in a name? It turns out to be quite a lot, as newly installed private detectives Dave Slater and Norman Norman find when they take on the case of an elderly man found dead in his home.

Tinton Police can't close the case quick enough, but Slater and Norman just know there's more to the story than first appears. As they delve into the past to find out the truth behind the seemingly innocent death of Joe Dalgetty, they quickly find themselves plunged into a web of deceit, lies, and danger which has spanned decades.

As if that wasn't enough, Slater is locked in an internal struggle between his love of police work and his friendship with Norman, and he's also determined to get to the bottom of another mystery — what happened to turn high-flying barrister Jenny Radford into a down and out living on the streets of Tinton? His secretive lodger still won't spill the beans, but Slater knows it's up to him to protect her from whoever is out to get her.

The question is, how will he manage any of this without the clout of Tinton Police behind him? And will Slater's and Norman's new venture weather the storm?

Michael Quinn, former cop and now private investigator, is determined to find and destroy this object with its long history of evil and even longer trail of death. He and Danni are drawn together in their search for the missing statue, following it through sultry New Orleans nights to hidden places in the French Quarter and secret ceremonies on abandoned plantations.

But Cafferty and Quinn know that their story won't end when this case is closed and the dead rest in peace once again.

In early 2002, six months after the World Trade Center attack, Hayden Stone, who took early retirement from the FBI, is working for the CIA. On his last assignment to Afghanistan, a colleague is killed and Stone blames himself for his death. A friend in the upper ranks of the CIA offers him an assignment to the South of France. Stone accepts, thinking this is exactly what he needs to get his life back on even keel: French life on the Côte d'Azur. Well, he's in for a surprise. He has little time for the Mediterranean ambiance, as two terrorists, acting separately, attempt to murder him. Meanwhile, Stone meets an old love, a contessa, who he had seduced and abandoned years before.

Through a series of setups and encounters, Stone learns that a brutal Middle Eastern terrorist is in Provence to deliver a strain of the Ebola virus to major U.S. cities. At the same time, the CIA and French intelligence have targeted a seriously ill al Qaeda functionary who is seeking medical attention in Nice. Complicating matters still, a Saudi prince and his son-in-law on a yacht off Villefranche are assisting this al Qaeda figure. They lease the contessa's palace so that, without her knowledge, doctors can administer to the functionary. Stone romances the contessa who loves him, but doesn't trust him and with cause, for he also has become fond of a young French researcher, who secretly works for French Intelligence.

But just as she starts unlocking the Ripper's secrets, she catches the attention of the local police, who believe she knows more than she's revealing, as well as from the Ripper himself, now bent on silencing her and her friends for good.

Caught in the crosshairs of a ruthless killer, Sarah races through Whitechapel's darkest alleys to find the truth … until she makes a shocking discovery that challenges everything she thought she knew about the case.

During the glory days of the Roaring Twenties, budding artist Francis Bacon heads to Paris to paint, love, and spy …

Francis Bacon was having a ball in Berlin — until his uncle Lastings disappeared, leaving Francis alone, broke, and wanted by the German police as well as the burgeoning Nazi party for a political murder he didn't commit. Luckily, for a young painter still learning his craft, there's no better place to find refuge than the cafés of Paris. In the City of Lights, Francis can perfect his French, complete his education, and — if he's lucky — escape with his life.

Strolling along the boulevard one lovely evening, he hears gunshots and sees a Russian émigré cut down by an assassin. Francis dashes into the night and flees to the countryside, but it's too late — the brilliant young painter is in trouble again. And when Uncle Lastings reappears, Francis will find himself back in the thick of a deadly game of international espionage.
