Sinopsis

A remote Scottish estate. A missing teenager.
When a young archaeologist discovers bones at the site of her Bronze Age Broch on Gallows Hill, the community of Kilbroch hold their breath. A post-mortem on the remains reveals that the body is that of teenager, Robbie MacBride, missing for more than a decade. The teenager was shot at close range, and his gamekeeper father falls under suspicion. However, not everyone is convinced.
The archaeologist, Laura, ex-detective, Callum MacGarvey and Robbie's grandmother continue to investigate, while Robbie's sister, the silent Ruthie, remains haunted by her inconclusive childhood flashbacks. Local landowner, George Strabane is arrested, Robbie's father is released, and it seems that old ghosts have been put to rest.
However, the truth is darker still and the tragic reason for Ruthie's self-imposed silence is finally revealed.

    A chance meeting on a moonlit Havana night. 
    An alluring Cuban pilot and a young American soldier. 
    Can they outrun the threat of nuclear war? 
    Lieutenant Charlie Parnell grinds through his daily routine in Army Intelligence at Arlington Hall Station, Virginia. He tracks Cuban movements through Havana newspapers and Cuban radio, but what he’s counting are the dreary days until his military discharge. When the colonel calls him up to the command post one day, the last people Charlie expects to meet are two suits from the CIA. Sure, Charlie’s a gutsy street-smart guy who speaks fluent Spanish and has debriefed his fair share of Cuban refugees, but he’s mostly a pencil pusher with a limp that’s kept him out of the field. What could the nation’s spy organization want with him? 
    As the scheme to unseat Fidel Castro unfolds, Charlie finds the plot runs deeper than the CIA has led him to believe. After the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion, strategic placement of ballistic missiles has heightened the threat of nuclear war, and Charlie fears he’ll end up in the danger zone with only one extremely risky escape route. 
    Skeptical of his CIA handlers, Charlie devises a backup plan. There’s a steep cost to that too, but it’s a gamble that could play out to his advantage in the end. Everything is on track until he meets an attractive Cuban pilot and her daughter. Before any of them know it, they’re running for their lives.

    A sweeping World War 2 saga in which a young German Jew flees Europe, emigrates to America, and joins the Army to fight Nazis 
     As the Nazis conquer Europe, Jewish teen Max and his parents flee German persecution to Holland, where Max finds true friends and a life-altering romance. But when Hitler invades in 1940, Max escapes to Chicago, leaving his parents and friends behind. When he learns of his parents' murder, Max immediately enlists in the US Army. After basic training he is sent to Camp Ritchie, Maryland, where he is trained in interrogation and counterintelligence.  
    Deployed to the OSS, Max carries out dangerous missions in Occupied countries. He also interrogates German POWs, especially after D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, where, despite life-threatening conditions, he elicits critical information about German troop movements.  
    Post-war, he works for the Americans in the German denazification program, bringing him back to his Bavarian childhood home of Regensburg. Though the city avoided large-scale destruction, the Jewish community was decimated. Max roams familiar yet strange streets, replaying memories of lives lost to unspeakable tragedy. While there, however, he reunites with someone from his past, who, like him, sought refuge abroad. Can they rebuild their lives… together?  
    This epic, suspenseful coming of age and war story is Libby Hellmann’s tribute to her late father-in-law who was active with the OSS and interrogated dozens of German POWs. 
    Sure to captivate readers of Kate Quinn and Kristin Hannah, Max’s War delves into events that occur during periods of extreme conflict when hate seems to be winning.

    THE PICTURE: The picture hung at the far end of the junk shop, its quality shin-ing as clear as a moonbeam through the detritus that surrounded it. Sadie thought at first that it must be a print, but closer inspec-tion proved it to be indeed a drawing, as the label affixed to it claimed.

    Love is the beginning of everything. And the end. 
    Haunted by dreams of the boy whose life she shattered and burdened by dark family secrets she's only just begun to understand, Private Investigator Winter Black is trying to keep her life from falling apart. With her husband on a yearlong break from the FBI, the bills are piling up, and Winter has no choice but to take on even the most mundane cases. Serving a summons should be easy. 
    Until the man she served is found dead the next day. His wife too. 
    The man, a local appliance store owner, faced financial ruin pending the legal case, leading authorities to suspect a murder-suicide. Winter doesn’t buy that he killed himself or his wife. In fact, she’d seen the anticipation in his eyes as they packed for a vacation together—hardly the behavior of a man about to end it all. When the employee behind the lawsuit goes missing, Winter is convinced. 
    Someone murdered the couple. But who? 
    As she digs deeper, the bodies start to pile up. People connected to the case are being picked off one by one, and Winter can’t shake the feeling that she’s getting closer to something dangerous—something that wants to stay hidden. Someone’s playing a twisted game, and Winter’s caught right in the middle. 
    With a target on her back. 
    The mystery and suspense continue with Winter’s Snare, the heart-stopping sixth book in the Winter Black Season Two series. It’s a reminder that love endures all things. Except murder.
