  A man on the run. A traitor on the loose. One last chance to set the record straight. 
   
  After months on the run for an assassination they call justice, David Shaw and Natalie Hale have built a new life in the shadows. But when a hit squad tracks them down in the Caribbean, it's clear their enemies aren't done with them yet. Someone with deep connections wants them dead—someone with the power to erase them for good.

  From the Caribbean to Washington, D. C., and deep into the criminal networks of the Mediterranean, Shaw and Natalie are chasing one goal: exposing Roark's true allegiance. But with time running out, they may only have one last shot to stop him before he wreaks havoc on an unprecedented scale. 
   
  In The Defection Protocol, explosive action meets razor-sharp realism in a high-stakes military thriller where one unstoppable hero fights against all odds.

  🎀 Quilt shop owner and strip piecing expert Ruby Rollins is celebrating the launch of her new jelly roll collection when the fabric company's quality control inspector—known for rejecting innovative designs—is found dead in her shop, tangled in a massive unrolled jelly roll of her newest fabric line. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Ruby notices the fabric strips have been deliberately misaligned and the victim's inspection reports contain color-coded rejection notes that form a pattern. With her fabric line launch in chaos and the quilting community watching, Ruby must unroll this mystery strip by strip. Assisted by her quilting team and the handsome color theorist analyzing fabric dye lots, Ruby uncovers a scheme involving manipulated colorways, stolen gradient designs, and a plot to sabotage emerging fabric designers. From suspicious strip widths that reveal manufacturing defects to color sequences that don't follow the intended pattern, every rolled strip tells a story. But when Ruby discovers the victim was systematically rejecting unique fabric collections to steal the designs for a rival company, she realizes the killer is protecting creative innovation more valuable than any pre-cut bundle. With the quilt market approaching and the real saboteur still rolling out deception, Ruby must straighten out the truth before her own designs get permanently scrapped.

  Missing twin sisters. A chilling revelation. Will this be the case that breaks the Cold Case Squad? 
  Twenty years earlier, a set of female eighteen-year-old twins went missing in the Bay Area. There were no news reports or national coverage. The original investigators had barely touched the case, and like so many other cases of missing teens, were quickly labeled runaways, and the file sat on the shelf. Baffled by the lack of attention for the sisters, Martina insists it will be Hirsch and the Cold Case Squad’s next case. 
  Undeterred by the lack of prior research, the team dives into the case, employing methods of investigation and forensic technology not available twenty years earlier. This could be the case where time is actually on their side. When the team catches their first big break, the discovery of one sister’s remains and a lead on the second, they shift the case from missing persons to homicide. 
  With the news, Martina and Hirsch dig deeper into the women’s lives before they disappeared. With a no-stone-unturned approach and DNA results back from the lab, they soon find a shocking connection to one of their own. Concerned the information could jeopardize getting justice for the victims’ family, Martina and Hirsch now must work in the shadows in order to find answers to what happened all those years ago. 
  Will Martina and Hirsch be able to expose the truth without endangering themselves, their jobs, and the future of the Cold Case Squad? 
  How She Fell is the 7th installment of the twisty, fast-paced Martina Monroe crime thriller series.

  Móric Jókay de Ásva was born on the 18th February 1825 in Komárom, then in the Kingdom of Hungary but now part of Slovakia.  
   
  Due to his timid and delicate constitution he was educated at home until the age of 10 and then sent away to complete his studies at the Calvinist college at Pápa. 
   
  At 12 his father died, and he was pushed to honour him by replicating his career as a lawyer.  He studied hard and completed the curriculum at Kecskemét and Pest.  He won his first case as a newly graduated lawyer. 
   
  But he found a career in law to be dull and, encouraged by the positive reaction to his first play, he moved to Pest in 1845.  There he published, first in a newspaper, and then as a novel ‘Hétköznapok’ (‘Working Days’).  It was acclaimed as a masterpiece.  To add to his promise he was appointed as the editor of Életképek, the leading Hungarian journal. 
   
  In 1848 he married the actress, Róza Laborfalvi.  That same year Europe was awash with revolutions and Jókai, a moderate Liberal, enthusiastically supported the nationalist cause and its decision to depose the Habsburg dynasty.  The attempt failed. 
   
  He was now classed as a political suspect and threw himself into his literary career, writing dozens of novels, many of them masterpieces, stories, essays and the like.  In total he wrote several hundred volumes, many of them in the local Magyar language which helped arrest its declining relevance in society.  
   
  By 1867 the political temperature had cooled, and he entered parliament as well as becoming the editor a government journal he had founded.   His skills were much admired and helped the government navigate through several difficult matters.   
   
  His wife died in 1886 but although grief-stricken he continued to work and to write.  
   
  In 1897 the king appointed him a member of the upper house.  Two years later he caused a minor scandal by marrying the young 20-year-old actress, Bella Nagy.  At the time he was 74. 
   
  Mór Jókai died in Budapest on the 5th May 1904.  He was 79.
