    Deputy Jayne O’Shea has long believed the village of Whispering Pines to be the perfect, peaceful Northwoods retreat. This season, however, serenity is in short supply. With unruly tourists disrespecting the villagers’ Wiccan ways, and a flock of crows wreaking havoc by tearing up gardens and dropping pinecones on people’s heads, the sheriff’s department is stretched to its limits. 
      
    Fortunately, there is a bright spot in the midst of the chaos. Jayne’s sister, Rosalyn, is about to host her first big event at Pine Time Bed-and-Breakfast – a cozy lakeside wedding. The setting is magical, the details flawless. Then the families arrive.  
      
    With their constant squabbles and endless complaints, it’s obvious this celebration will be anything but joyous. And when a body is found floating in the lake, Jayne must dig in to unravel the truth behind what really happened. 
      
    As she does, something becomes clear: there is still darkness hiding beneath Whispering Pines’ idyllic surface.

    Her voice enchants crowds. Her secrets will expose conspiracies. One mistake could cost her everything. 
    December 1941: As bombs fall on Pearl Harbor, singer Hattie James faces a personal nightmare when her sister Olivia vanishes. The kidnappers demand an impossible price—her father's classified list of undercover American and Nazi spies. 
    Wartime paranoia and family loyalty take Hattie to Washington D.C. with Maya and Commander Leo Bell to hunt an elusive, high-ranking mole in the War Department who is after those lists. Leo, a military intelligence officer with access to classified operations, becomes their crucial inside man, navigating the treacherous corridors of power. Meanwhile in Rio de Janeiro, Hattie’s father Karl slowly recovers from near-fatal wounds under her mother's watchful care as Nazi agents close in on his location. 
    As war declarations echo across radio waves, these fragile alliances become Hattie's only hope of untangling a conspiracy that threatens both nations. As Hattie inches closer to the truth, she discovers that exposing the traitor might save her sister—or destroy them both. 
    An enthralling wartime thriller, perfect for fans of Julia Kelly and Kristin Harmel.

    As the nation's oldest serving detectives, we know more about London than almost anyone. After all, we've been walking its streets and impulsively arresting its citizens for decades. Who better to take you through its less savoury side? 
    We'll be chatting about odd buildings, odder characters, lost venues, forgotten disasters, confusing routes, dubious gossip, illicit pleasures and hidden pubs. We'll be making all sorts of odd connections and showing you why it's almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in London. 
    With the help of some of our more disreputable friends, each an argumentative and unreliable expert in his or her own dodgy field, we'll explain why some streets have genders, why only two Londoners got to meet Dracula, how a department store and a prison played tricks on your mind, when a theatre got stranded in the past, how a building vanished in plain sight, what excited Charlotte Brontë about the city and where the devils hide in London. 
    We hope to capture something of the city's restless spirit by wilfully wandering off course, and it goes without saying that we'll bluff and bamboozle you along the way but that's all part of the fun. History is what you remember. London is what you forget (and we've forgotten a lot). So please do join us on this magical mystery tour of our city. Who knows where we'll end up?
