  Julia Garcia isn't just breaking barriers as the first woman sergeant in the San Amaro State Police; she's shattering them. Despite being the most educated officer on the force, her career aspirations seem out of reach amidst the monotony of solving petty robberies and domestic disputes. Adding insult to injury, her male superiors dismiss her, perpetuating a culture where female officers are an afterthought. 
  But when an American resident disappears while hiking in the Baja desert with friends, Julia's unique blend of skills and fluency in English thrusts her into the heart of a gripping, high-profile case. As the search intensifies, Julia's instincts scream that something far more sinister lurks beneath the surface. Determined to unravel the truth, she must navigate a labyrinth of deceit and danger, drawing upon her intellect and training to decipher fact from fiction. 
  In a Mexican male-dominated world where skepticism meets every stride she takes, Julia faces her toughest challenge yet. Will she have the courage to trust her instincts, defy the odds, and uncover the chilling reality lurking in the shadows? 
  Ross’s characters are well-rounded and engaging. Readers will enjoy—and learn from—this page-turning thriller and will undoubtedly look forward to Ross’s future San Amaro mysteries.

  'powerful' Booklist
  'riveting' Publishers Weekly
  '[Zimler is] a master craftsman, and this book is Art… a riveting murder mystery… spectacular' India Today
  After his Jewish family fled the Catholic Inquisition in Portugal, Tiago Zarco lives a tranquil existence in colonial India, enjoying secret sojourns with his sister into the heady festivities of the local Hindu culture while evading the ruling Portuguese authorities.
  But as he comes of age in sixteenth-century Goa, Ti struggles to keep the far-reaching influence of the Inquisition from destroying his family and pulling him apart from the Hindu girl he loves. And when an act of betrayal sees his father imprisoned, he is forced to hunt down the traitor and make an unimaginable choice, triggering a harrowing journey that will show him the depths of human depravity and the poisonous salvation of revenge.
  At once passionate, furious and hopeful, Guardian of the Dawn is both a saga of horrifying religious persecution and a riveting, tender multicultural love story.
  'Richard Zimler's style is so limpid and encompassing that you begin to find your bearings in 16th-century Portuguese-occupied Goa faster than you may have thought possible.' The Guardian
  'remarkable' Times Literary Supplement
  'An exciting adventure story' The Independent

  I was never a girl to drool over the hockey players at our academy—they’re all egotistical jerks. But since my father is the coach of Scotia Storms, everywhere I turn, there’s a player—in more ways than one. 
  I’m smart enough to know they don’t just avoid me because I’m the coach’s daughter. They avoid me because I’m a nerdy drama student with no game. 
  With winter break upon us, I plan to escape to Florida, to where no one knows my past. Or that I’m the butt of every hockey player’s joke. It’s true, I overheard the hurtful bet no player had the balls to take. 
  Not that I’d hand over my pesky V-card to any of them. Nope, I plan to take care of that problem on a beach down south. 
  Until the storm of the century throws a monkey wrench into my plans, and I find myself snowed-in with a smoking hot Southie. I figured he was the perfect guy to help me with my pesky problem—until my stupid heart got involved. 
  How could I avoid it when he was sweet and kind, and so different from the guys at the academy? 
  I begin to dream about our future, until the storm breaks and I realize he’s everything I never wanted and I’m everything that can destroy his future.
