  I wondered what crime a professional killer could commit that his closest friends would find unforgivable. 
  It is the mid-1980s and Barbara Kemp shatters another glass ceiling as she becomes the US babysitter for Charlemagne, the premier freelance specialist team used by Western governments for black operations conducted without fingerprints. She arrives in-country for her first assignment in support of an allied government. 
  An American officer is being used as bait to lure a deep-cover IRA explosives expert into the light where Charlemagne will eliminate him — if they do not annihilate each other first. Barbara must deal with mystifying lunacy in the dangerous men around her while she struggles to find a way to save the American bait, the operation, and the team itself. 
  Will this promotion be the end of Barbara’s career? Or the end of her life? 
  Lion Tamer is the fourth novel in K.A. Bachus’s fast-paced Charlemagne Files series chronicling the lives of a team of deadly Cold War intelligence operatives over three decades.

  To find a murderer, you need a motive . . . 
   
  THE DETECTIVE 
  DS George Cross has always wondered why his mother left him when he was a child. Now she is back in his life, he suddenly has answers. But this unexpected reunion is not anything he's used to dealing with. When a disturbing case lands on his desk, he is almost thankful for the return to normality. 
   
  THE QUESTION 
  The body of a monk is found savagely beaten to death in a woodland near Bristol. Nothing is known about Brother Dominic's past, which makes investigating difficult. How can Cross unpick a crime when they don't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk? 
   
  THE PAST 
  Discovering who Brother Dominic once was only makes the picture more puzzling. He was a much-loved and respected friend, brother, son – he had no enemies. Or, at least, none that are obvious. But looking into his past reveals that he was a very wealthy man, that he sacrificed it all for his faith. For a man who has nothing, it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder. But greed is a sin after all . . .

  I skipped around a small stack of pylons while my deputy cousin unloaded more of the same from the back of the sheriff's pickup. I beamed at Robert Carlisle, not because I adored him. Quite the opposite. I couldn't stand the wretched little piece of loathing with his seventies-esque bush of a black mustache or his pompous superiority. 
   
   
   
  No, I grinned and waved out of sheer delight at his less than enthusiastic expression as he grunted his way through hefting a rather heavy looking barricade onto the sidewalk. 
   
   
   
  "Exercise is good for you," I said as I kept going without offering to help. 
   
   
   
  "Your ass could use some lately, Fanny," he shot after me. 
   
   
   
  He did not just call me fat and Fanny in the same sentence. 
   
   
   
  Fiona Fleming has no intention of getting involved when Mayor Olivia Walker hosts a parade for the celebrity couple whose fame she's been using to promote their town. But when the local ski lodge can't accommodate and Willow Pink and Skip Anderson end up staying at Petunia's, Fee is not only front row center to a murder, she's trapped in her own bed and breakfast with the suspects when the frenzied media descends on Reading looking for the story of a lifetime.
