    One man’s treasure is another ghost’s unfinished business. 
    When local fortune hunter Delly Harper takes a fatal nosedive off a cliff, everyone in Mooselick River calls it an accident. Everyone except Delly—who’s now haunting Everly Dupree with a list of suspicions and one very big request. 
    Turns out Delly named Everly’s dad executor of his estate: a crumbling farmhouse, a chunk of overgrown land, and a rumor about buried gold that’s been circling town for decades. While her dad dives headfirst into treasure-hunting mode, Everly’s stuck trying to figure out who wanted Delly dead—and why. 
    Then another body turns up, and this one is definitely no accident. 
    As Everly follows a trail of secrets through old rivalries, family feuds, and long-forgotten scandals, she starts to realize this isn’t just about gold—it’s about payback. And someone in town will do anything to keep the past buried. 
    Good thing Everly has a shovel.

    Can you die in virtual reality? 
    Summer 2048. The world's top athletes are jostling for the final places at the Olympics while ruthless cybercriminals are plotting to disrupt the games. 
    Cameron Silvera, aka the SimCavalier, one of the world's most renowned hackers, is part of the team holding the line against chaos. When a technical glitch and a data breach point to rigged betting and cyber theft, Cameron dives deep into the underworld of the metaverse, rubbing shoulders with the very criminals she hunts. But she's not alone - someone is hunting her too. 
    Her arch-nemesis Tenuk is wrestling with divided loyalties. His estranged father wants him to rejoin the family firm. Sapphire Straits is the largest gambling organisation across the real and virtual worlds, and it’s now dabbling in cybercrime.

    As the clock ticks towards the Olympic opening ceremony, Cameron must go back into the underworld, using every ounce of her skill and cunning to stay out of the grasp of Tenuk and his rogue AI sidekick. The lives of her family and of the athletes caught in the crossfire are at stake, in every reality.

    Seven days until the killer strikes again – but who is next? 
    DCI Warren Jones is deep into the investigation into an apparent murder-suicide when another case is thrust onto his desk. Winnie Palmer, missing for two months, has been found dead, her body stripped and propped against a tree in the woods.

    The busy summer tourist season is winding down in Busman's Harbor, Maine, but Julia Snowden senses trouble simmering for the Snowden Family Clambake Company. Shifty David Thwing—the "Mussel King" of upscale seafood restaurants—is sniffing around town for a new location. But serving iffy clams turns out to be the least of his troubles . . .  
     
     
     
    When Thwing is found sleeping with the fishes beneath a local lobsterman's boat, the police quickly finger Julia's brother-in-law Sonny as the one who cooked up the crime. Sure, everyone knows Sonny despised the Mussel King . . . but Julia believes he's innocent. Proving it won't be easy, though. It seems there's a lot more than murder on the menu, and Julia needs to act fast . . .
