    In Due Time begins outside a Philadelphia courthouse when Ryan Coleman is kidnapped and delivered to a luxury yacht off the coast of Florida, where his billionaire mentor, Randy Hollis, has decided that Ryan will become his one and only heir to his legacy and fortune. Ryan thinks he has been framed him for the death of Lisa O, the world’s number one escort, despite his plan to save Hollis and himself from being disbarred and going to prison. This turn of events sends Coleman into a frenzy as he navigates his sudden rise to power while discovering that his best friend and wife are shacking up together. When tragedy strikes, Coleman is suddenly left to his own devices and must choose his path forward. Will he take the advice of his mother and a newly rekindled love story, or turn to the dark side as he witnessed with several masters of the universe in his orbit? While Ryan Coleman was once thought by everyone to be naïve and in over his head, easy to manipulate and even frame, in Book Two he becomes the rainmaker, at least until the end, when he ends up right back where he started.

    Murderpalooza, the premier thriller writers conference, is meant to be an exciting celebration of the genre and its preeminent writers. But when bestselling author and industry favorite Kristin Bailey is found dead in her hotel room, four rival authors—a midlister, an egomaniac, a has-been, and a newbie—also get targeted by an anonymous social media account and wonder if they're next. 
     
     
     
    First, they find themselves bonding to try to find out who's behind it. As the account taunts them, it slowly reveals secrets that each of them have connected to Kristin—secrets that make them a suspect in each other's eyes. Soon, they are turning on each other and silently accusing each as a killer. With time running out until the awards ceremony where the social media account has promised a big reveal, the only thing they know for sure is that no one is better at both creating and solving a mystery than the people who write them for a living.
