Synopsis

In a Savannah courtroom, the clash of legal arguments echoes the ceaseless rhythm of the Atlantic.  Amber Townsend, a maritime lawyer haunted by a near-drowning, defends Coralia, a mermaid princess whose very existence is on trial.  Accused of disrupting shipping lanes, Coralia’s real crime is hailing from Aquamarina, a hidden city of bioluminescent coral and ancient magic.  Opposing them is Martin Pineda, a lawyer whose chilling composure masks a predatory secret: he's a kraken shifter, an ancient entity whose hunger for power threatens Aquamarina's very existence.Bound by her kingdom's laws of secrecy, Coralia can offer only cryptic warnings, her voice a haunting melody of the deep.  Desperate, Amber seeks counsel from Victoria Whitehead, an ostracized oceanographer whose knowledge of the sea's hidden truths reveals the devastating consequences of Pineda's ambition.  Simultaneously, Coralia's betrothed, Kaelen, a merman prince with a warrior's heart, defies Aquamarina's laws, forging alliances with underwater races and preparing for a desperate last stand.As Pineda tightens his legal noose, manipulating marine life and corrupting scientific data, Amber's own past trauma resurfaces.  The fear of drowning becomes the fear of failing Coralia, of condemning an entire civilization.  Driven by a desperate need to understand, Amber delves into ancient maritime texts, deciphering the coded language of the sea and uncovering the legend of the Tidecaller, a mythical figure capable of commanding the ocean's currents.The courtroom transforms into a battleground of legal arguments, subtle magic, and ancient power.  Guided by the ocean’s whispers and Coralia's fragmented warnings, Amber uncovers evidence of Pineda’s manipulation, exposing his true motives and the devastating ecological impact of his greed.  But will it be enough to save Aquamarina?In the climax, a fierce hurricane mirrors the courtroom tempest as Pineda corners Coralia, demanding she reveal her city’s location.  Channeling her newfound connection to the sea and the forgotten lore of the Tidecaller, Amber unleashes a daring counter-strategy.  She doesn’t merely defend Coralia; she indicts the shipping industry's reckless expansion, exposing Pineda’s true form and revealing the kraken's insidious plot.  "The Mermaid’s Maritime Lawyer: A Trial of Tides" is a thrilling blend of legal drama, magical realism, and ecological suspense.  Dive into a world where the courtroom clashes with the mysteries of the deep, and the fate of an entire civilization rests on the shoulders of one extraordinary lawyer.  This is just the first ripple in a rising tide of change, a battle for the soul of the sea.

    Eighteen months after Hillary suffered a personal tragedy, she is throwing herself into her work to try to get over it. 
     
    Former soldier Gareth Proctor joins her team and finds himself quickly growing to enjoy his new environment. 
     
    The first cold case he works on is the murder of Andrew Feeley. 
     
    In 2012, this twenty-one-year-old was found dead in the woods near his home, killed by a single stab wound to the chest from his own knife. 
     
    Andrew was extremely unpopular. He was a drug dealer, pimp and bully. His stepdad was one of the main suspects, as they hated each other and often came to blows. Other suspects include Toby Truman and his mother Debbie. Andrew was responsible for getting Toby hooked on drugs. 
     
    Given Andrew’s criminal background, his murder is thought to be drug-related. 
     
    But Hillary’s not buying it — she knows it’s personal. And a search of the Feeleys’ garden turns up some chilling evidence.

    A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.  
    My husband is dead.  
    I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.  
    My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.  
    So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?  
    The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, unputdownable, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.
