  Welcome to Briarton, Ohio. Population: Just a sliver over 2,100 people. Briarton is located in Southern Ohio--the gateway to Appalachia. The people in this small village, in a county where farming and poverty are the main occupation, move at their own pace. They hunt, they fish, they farm - but their secrets run deeper than the fishing holes that dot the countryside. Dalton Edwards, an agent with the DEA is about to uncover a few of those secrets, when he's assigned to Briar County on a low-priority assignment by his boss . . . as punishment. 
  His boss says it's a pot-growing operation, but Dalton thinks it's much bigger than that. Before his assignment is over, eight family members will be murdered under circumstances that Dalton knows have nothing to do with a hydroponic weed operation--or a custody dispute. The mass murder makes international news, Dalton is determined to find the murder (or murderers) and expose the guilty to seek justice for the slain. It won't be easy, and in the end, one more local will perish. Dalton will not rest until those responsible are held accountable. 
  This is a True Crime Fiction, but inspired by what people refer to as "The Pike County Massacre," which took place in Pike County, Ohio in April 2016. All characters contained in this novel are purely fictional, and conclusions drawn are purely a product of the author's imagination.

  🦙 Alpaca farm owner and fiber artist Al Pacino is preparing for the annual Alpaca Breeders Expo when the farm's most demanding client—a notorious luxury fiber buyer with impossible standards—is found dead in the shearing barn, a rare silver huacaya alpaca standing guard over the body. The police suspect a tragic barn accident, but Al notices the alpaca's fiber has been deliberately contaminated and the victim's quality control reports contain coded messages about fiber fraud. With her farm under investigation and the alpaca community humming with anxiety, Al must herd together the clues. Assisted by her farmhands and the handsome textile geneticist analyzing fiber DNA, Al uncovers a scheme involving alpaca identity switching, fraudulent fiber grading, and a sophisticated operation diluting premium fleece with inferior wool. From suspicious micron counts that reveal blended fibers to DNA markers that don't match the breeding records, every silky lock tells a story. But when Al discovers the victim was systematically downgrading small farms' premium fiber to buy it cheaply for luxury brands, she realizes the killer is protecting small breeders from exploitation softer than any alpaca fleece. With the breeders expo approaching and the real fiber fraudster still spinning lies, Al must comb through the evidence before her own farm gets permanently sheared.

  Delaney Nichols faces off against an elusive arsonist in the seventh Scottish Bookshop Mystery, The Burning Pages, from beloved author Paige Shelton. 
   
   
   
  One winter's night, bookseller Delaney Nichols and her coworker Hamlet are invited to a Burns Night dinner, a traditional Scottish celebration of the poet Robert Burns. She's perplexed by the invitation, but intrigued. The dinner takes place at Burns House itself, a tiny cottage not far from the Cracked Spine bookshop but well hidden. There, it becomes clear that Delaney and Hamlet were summoned in an attempt to make amends between Edwin, Delaney's boss, and one of the other invitees, who suspected Edwin for burning down his own bookshop twenty years ago after a professional disagreement. 
   
   
   
  But after the dinner, there's another fire. The Burns House itself is burned to the ground, and this time there's a body among the ruins. When Hamlet is accused of the crime, Delaney rushes to prove his innocence, only to discover that he might actually have a plausible motive . . .
