  In his 31st novel in the Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventure saga, Stinnett once more unites old characters with new, mixing cutting-edge technology with history in a tale of untold wealth, greed, and conflict. 
  The once pristine waters of Everglades National Park are being looted once more. Invasive pythons have taken over as the top predator. Water levels have dropped to an all-time low to maintain the agricultural industry. And a rusting hulk has been lying undiscovered for eighty years. Until Billy Rainwater stumbled upon it. 
  After several years, mountains of paperwork, and a healthy dose of South Florida “good ol’ boy” palm-greasing, Billy and his two closest friends, Jesse McDermitt and Rusty Thurman, have begun the tedious recovery of the U-320, a World War II Nazi submarine, which had been driven deep into the Glades by a great hurricane. 
  A fortune in Nazi gold is at stake, and the trio of long-time friends and adventure seekers don’t know they’re sitting on it until it’s almost too late. At the same time, but on a different front, evil stalks a middle schooler and Jesse has to find a way to bring the man to the kind of justice Jesse's known for. 
  Can the wealth of a great city be recovered and returned? Or will it sink into the muck along with the instruments of war which brought it? The stakes rise exponentially as lives are threatened, and the tranquil waters of South Florida once more erupt into chaotic violence.

  Robert, an Oakland cop, still can’t let go of Suzy, the enigmatic Vietnamese wife who left him two years ago. Now she’s disappeared from her new husband, Sonny, a violent Vietnamese smuggler and gambler who’s blackmailing Robert into finding her for him. As he pursues her through the sleek and seamy gambling dens of Las Vegas, shadowed by Sonny’s sadistic son, “Junior,” and assisted by unexpected and reluctant allies, Robert learns more about his ex-wife than he ever did during their marriage. He finds himself chasing the ghosts of her past, one that reaches back to a refugee camp in Malaysia after the fall of Saigon, as his investigation soon uncovers an elusive packet of her secret letters to someone she left behind long ago. Although Robert starts illuminating the dark corners of Suzy’s life, the legacy of her sins threatens to immolate them all. 
  Vu Tran has written a thrilling and cinematic work of sophisticated suspense and haunting lyricism, set in motion by characters who can neither trust each other nor trust themselves. This remarkable debut novel is a noir page-turner resonant with the lasting reverberations of lives lost and lives remade a generation ago.

  Kelly Sky didn’t expect much when she moved to the historic Azalea Plantation under the care of her guardian, Lizzie Higgins. But between her knack for stumbling into mysteries and her mischievous cat, Harry, “quiet” was never really an option. 
  When Kelly discovers a dusty photo album in the library, she’s drawn into the hauntingly beautiful history of the plantation—and its most famous resident, Elizabeth Higgins, a woman whose ghost might still be lingering among the azaleas. A hidden locket, a trail of mysterious azalea blossoms, and a family secret long buried in the attic set Kelly and Harry on a race to solve the puzzle before Halloween. 
  But not everyone at Azalea Plantation is thrilled about Kelly’s presence. Freddy Higgins, Lizzie’s scheming cousin, is determined to protect the family’s legacy—even if it means stirring up trouble. As tensions rise and secrets unfold, Kelly must untangle a century-old mystery with the help of some unlikely allies, both living and… otherwise. 
  With a Halloween party to plan, a ghost who won’t take no for an answer, and a cat who always seems to know more than he lets on, Kelly is in for one unforgettable October. 
  Can Kelly uncover the truth behind the locket—and her connection to Elizabeth—before it’s too late? 
  Perfect for fans of charming small-town mysteries, mischievous cats, and a dash of the supernatural, Harry’s Haunted Halloween will leave you enchanted and eager to uncover the next secret at Azalea Plantation.
