  Alec never expected his first assignment as a Collector for Solitaire to test more than just his strength. 
  Standing nearly seven feet tall and armed with martial arts training, Alec is used to his size and presence doing most of the work. But when he’s sent to collect a debt from a frail woman named Terry, he quickly realizes this isn’t the straightforward job he anticipated. 
  The scene is set for conflict, with Alec prepared to use calculated force—until an unexpected challenger steps forward: Terry’s uncle, a fast and skilled defender willing to fight for her. Their tense standoff escalates when a thrown knife turns the tables, leaving Alec questioning not only the ethics of his new role but also the hidden depths of Solitaire’s operations. 
  With his first job ending in chaos but somehow deemed a success, Alec learns that in Solitaire, winning isn’t always about strength—it’s about navigating the murky waters of loyalty, morality, and the unexpected twists of fate. As Alec earns his card as the Two of Spades, he finds himself drawn further into a world where nothing is as simple as it seems. 
  Fast-paced, action-packed, and layered with moral dilemmas, The Two of Spades is a gripping addition to the Solitaire Series that fans won’t want to miss.

  A shocking confession. A prolific killer. A legal minefield.
   
  Marko Bauer and Allee Smith thought defending James Innis on a simple charge would be straightforward. But when he confesses to a murder, it’s clear that this case will be anything but easy. Bound by the law, they can't expose him, even when he leads them to the body. Desperate to escape the ethical trap they've fallen into, Marko and Allee search for a loophole to report him, weighing the options of dropping the case or outright defying the rules. But every move they make seems to pull them deeper into his sinister game, and Innis’s chilling arrogance shows them just how dangerous he truly is.
   
  When another victim mysteriously disappears, their ethical dilemma escalates. With each disturbing clue, the full scope of Innis’s plans becomes clear: he’s orchestrating Marko and Allee’s every move, and no one in their lives is safe.
   
  Upholding their professional ethics may come at a price too steep to pay, as the cost begins to threaten not only their careers but the lives of those they love.
   
  Will they break the law to stop a murderer… or risk becoming his next victims?
   
  From Wall Street Journal bestselling author James Chandler and attorney Laura Snider comes Bodies of Proof, the second book in the Smith and Bauer Legal Thriller series. Perfect for fans of John Grisham and Michael Connelly.

  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.
