When high-flying criminologist Dr Kate Trevelyan is seconded to the Jurassic Coast to research the growing hostility towards migrant workers, she has no idea that someone is studying her every move. Or that her father would be killed in a suspicious house fire just days after her arrival in her hometown. The stakes are raised when the police announce a verdict of accidental death and quickly close the case, forcing Kate to follow her own line of investigation. Inquisitive teenage migrant Micki knows more than he is letting on, but he is too afraid of the violent threats and racial abuse that he knows he will receive should he come forward.

When glamorous property developer, Elaine Pierce, befriends her following her father's death, Kate's initial suspicions of the woman are confirmed when she discovers Elaine's influence over the police force, her secret liaisons with local gang members and, more importantly, her disturbing psychological state. Why is the property mogul so intent upon obstructing Kate's study into the riots that are threatening to destroy the very community that Elaine helped rejuvenate in the first place?

It's not until Micki is killed by the xenophobic demonstrators that the horrifying truth begins to reveal itself and Kate learns that a shocking family secret holds the answer to all her questions — one that will change her life forever. Can Kate navigate her way through the web of lies and deceit and identify her father's killer? Will the truth finally set her free, or will it do more harm than good?

With the perfect wife, two beautiful daughters and a successful business, Frank Douglas had everything to live for. But someone else had to die first.

If Daniel Alexander had not committed suicide, Frank Douglas would never have lived to see his forty-fifth birthday. Alexander's heart now beats strong and sure in Douglas's chest. The donated organ has given the successful Miami businessman a second chance but it gives him no peace.

Disturbed by nagging feelings of guilt and uncertainty, Frank sets out to discover all he can about the benefactor whose death gave him life. His search leads him to Rory Alexander — Daniel's beautiful, enigmatic wife-and to troubling questions and shocking revelations about the late man's affairs. Why, for example, have the profits from Alexander's seemingly successful business ventures mysteriously vanished? And why is Rory so unshakably certain that her husband was murdered?

A numbers man, Frank Douglas needs to have the figures add up — and that need is drawing him and a seductive, distraught widow across the length of a nation, and deep into something corrupt and twisted and deadly. And suddenly the new life he was granted is in serious peril, threatened by secrets, lies, human savagery and greed … and by the true dark nature of the heart that is now pumping the lifeblood through his body.

A Purple Door Detective Agency Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: J. Lavene

The Purple Door Detective Agency is hiring. Those without magic need not apply. Salary commensurate with experience. Apply at the agency. No phone calls or psychic links.

Sunshine Merryweather is a young witch with a passion for colorful clothes and good food. She is the owner/operator of the Purple Door Detective Agency. Her partner, John, was brutally murdered three days ago, and she won't stop until she finds his killer.

Aine is only interested in one thing when she walks into the building with the purple door — locating the last man alive in the branch of the O'Neill family she haunts as a beane sidhe. She has been asleep for 200 years in a ruined Irish castle and realizes that the world has moved on without her. She needs to find the O'Neill heir and encourage him to start a family or she will pass from existence when he dies.

Sunshine sees a potential partner when she looks at the powerful beane sidhe — they could be the next Dynamic Duo! But Aine isn't interested in Sunshine's schemes — until the witch agrees to help her locate O'Neill. Even then, it will be a short-term association at best from Aine's point of view. She has no need of witchcraft.

Neither woman is aware of the danger they face as an ancient assassin stalks the old port city of Norfolk, Virginia. It will take more than simple witchcraft or beane sidhe magic to stop the killer. They will have to work together and combine their talents.

But can Sunshine and Aine put aside their differences to stop the murders without tearing each other apart?

Publisher: Berkley

    

The eleven o'clock lady has always been one of garden club president Liz Lacy's favorite spring wildflowers. The plant is so named because the white blossoms don't open until the sun shines directly on them and wakes them up.

But another Eleven O'Clock Lady is never going to wake up again. Rona Jean Hancock — a telephone switchboard operator who earned her nickname because her shift ended at eleven, when her nightlife was just beginning — has been found strangled with her own silk stocking in a very unladylike position.

Gossip sprouts like weeds in a small town, and Rona Jean's somewhat wild reputation is the topic of much speculation regarding who might have killed her. As the Darling Dahlias begin to sort through Rona Jean's private affairs, it appears there may be a connection to some skullduggery at the local Civilian Conservation Corps camp. Working at the camp, garden club vice president Ophelia Snow digs around to expose the truth … before a killer pulls up stakes and gets away with murder.

A Frenchman and a German search for a killer in occupied Paris …

Police inspector Jean-Louis St-Cyr watches the German tanks roll into Paris from his office window. When Gestapo agents burst through his door, he is destroying confidential documents with the care that is his trademark. As the Nazis take control of the city, they allow St-Cyr to remain at his post, solving the everyday crimes which do not stop simply because there is a war on. He is assigned a partner, Bavarian detective Hermann Kohler, a bullish man who is as brutal as St-Cyr is refined. Though their politics differ, neither man is the sort to let a bad deed go unpunished.

Today their work takes them to a suburban forest, where a well-dressed young man has been found murdered and stripped of identification. Nearby lies an expensive beaded silk purse. Although it appears to be a crime of passion, its roots lie in the savagery that wartime nurtures and occupation lets run free.
