    A bad day with coffee is better than a good day without it. 
    Running a private investigation business in the seaside town of Firefly Bay should be a pretty easy job. One where I call the shots—figuratively speaking because to put clumsy little ole me in charge of a firearm is just asking for trouble. After a hectic few months, all I’m after is an easy day, where my cases add up to nothing more strenuous than deciding if tonight’s takeout is pizza or tacos (or both). 
    Should have known my day was going to go to hell in a handbasket when someone switched out my coffee for decaf (seriously, who does that?) and my main squeeze, Captain Cowboy Hot Pants, aka Detective Kade Galloway’s ex-girlfriend and internal affairs investigator, Savannah Mcintosh, turns up to work a case. 
    Before I can say café latte, Galloway’s dodging my calls, I’ve got a raccoon on my hands who’s decided mi casa es su casa, my ghostly best friend has a crush to die for, and local teenager Kira Melendez has turned up missing. 
    So much for an easy day. I have a sneaking suspicion my life is about to become a whole new level of crazy. 
    Join Audrey Fitzgerald in the Ghost Detective series, a paranormal cozy mystery featuring a cat, a ghost, and a murder to solve.

    An action-packed Ryker thriller from million-copy bestselling author Rob Sinclair. 
    'With action torn from tomorrow’s headlines, Angel of Death is an unmissable read!'– Alex Shaw 
    Ismail Karaman is one of the deadliest terrorists in recent history. So why is he free to float around the Persian Gulf on his luxury yacht? 
    Ex intelligence agent James Ryker thinks he knows why, and the answer lies at the corrupt heart of the SIS. Ryker isn’t one to let the bad guys get away with murder, but Karaman has many enemies, and one in particular will make all their lives much more complicated… 
    They call her the Angel of Death – a former agent whose last encounter with Karaman cost her everything, and left her in a Lebanese prison cell. Now she’s free, and with nothing else to lose, she’s determined to get her revenge… whatever it takes. 
    Ryker and the Angel may have the same target, but that doesn’t mean they’re on the same side. Who will reach Karaman first? And who will still be standing when the bodies pile up?

    🛶 Caterer and antique collector Maisie Gravy is hosting a vintage dinnerware exhibition when the event's snobbish curator—a notorious perfectionist with a taste for rare porcelain—is found dead in the banquet hall, floating face-down in an overflowing antique gravy boat. The police suspect a slip-and-fall accident, but Maisie notices the gravy boat's spout has been deliberately widened and the victim's appraisal notes contain coded marks about ceramic forgeries. With her catering business sinking fast and the antiques community in hot water, Maisie must stir through the murky details. Assisted by her kitchen staff and the handsome ceramics expert analyzing the altered porcelain, Maisie uncovers a scheme involving antique forgery, insurance fraud, and a sophisticated operation altering museum-quality pieces. From suspicious glaze inconsistencies that reveal modern repairs to clay compositions that don't match the stated era, every ceramic clue tells a story. But when Maisie discovers the victim was systematically "authenticating" forged antiques for a lucrative insurance scam, she realizes the killer is protecting collector integrity more valuable than any porcelain piece. With the exhibition gala approaching and the real forger still pouring on the charm, Maisie must ladle out the truth before her own reputation gets permanently waterlogged.
