  Charcuterie chef Katie Aubrey is overjoyed when asked to create charcuterie boards for the summer fashion show at the prestigious Hidden Boulders Community in Cave Creek. However, the challenge for Katie isn't designing the complex cured meat and cheese platters but rather, how to deal with Edith Ellory, the annoying food critic ghost who pesters her while she works. Lamentably, that becomes the least of her worries when the fashion show coordinator is found dead in the food pavilion clutching a handful of Katie's pancetta rosettes. 
   
   
   
  Toxicology reports indicate food poisoning, and Katie's charcuterie shop immediately falls under suspicion, even though none of the other meats showed any hint of foul play. 
   
   
   
  To make matters worse, the victim had a long and unpleasant history with one of Katie's employees. To save the shop's reputation and vindicate her employee, Katie needs to ditch her white apron and don some decent walking shoes before she becomes the next victim.

  The propulsive new John Adderley case and follow-up to the award-winning, international bestselling Scandi noir thriller The Bucket List 
   
  Alicia Bjelke has always been “the other sister.” She is the coding genius behind a wildly successful dating app she started with her sister, Stella, but because Alicia’s face is disfigured, she’s created a life in the background while beautiful Stella is  
  the face of the company. When Stella is found dead, Alicia’s life changes utterly as she becomes the focus of the investigation. 
   
  The case is assigned to former FBI agent John Adderley, living in Sweden in witness protection and battling demons from his past life. As John investigates the case, he learns that Alicia and Stella have always had a difficult relationship. The  
  deeper John delves into the sisters’ past, the clearer it becomes that Stella’s murder may be just one piece in the puzzle of a larger crime. As John follows the trail, the old life he thought he left behind in the States begins to catch up with him. 
   
  With a deft mix of masterful suspense and psychological depth, authors Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström deliver a heart-pounding new entry to the John Adderley series. As with The Bucket List, Mohlin & Nyström’s award-winning  
  debut, The Other Sister is an ambitious Scandinavian crime thriller that is compelling, richly textured, and gripping from start to finish.

  When Brian Foley is charged with the murder of his next-door neighbour, the fastidious Arthur Cranham, it seems the case against the blustering showman is cut and dried: prints, DNA, CCTV footage - there can't be any doubt. After all - Brian and Arthur have famously been at war for years. But Jack and Sarah are convinced that the police have it wrong. With time running out, can they prove Brian's innocence and find the real killer?

  The last thing Danny wants to see published is his obituary 
  The year is 1975. Danny Jacobs is an ambitious, young American journalist who’s just arrived in Bombay for a new assignment. He’s soon caught up in the chaos of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s domestic “Emergency.” 
  Willy Smets is Danny’s enigmatic expat neighbor. He’s a charming man, but with suspicious connections. As a monsoon drenches Bombay, Danny falls hard for Sushmita, Smets’s beguiling and clever lover—and the infatuation is mutual. 
  "The Emergency," a virtual coup by the prime minister, is only the first twist in the high-stakes drama of Danny’s new life in India. The assassination of a police officer by a Marxist extremist, as well as Danny’s obsession with the inscrutable Sushmita, conspire to put his career—and life—in jeopardy. And, of course, the temptations of Willy Smets’s seductive personality sit squarely at the heart of the matter.  
   Democracy is fragile and the lines of loyalty and betrayal often cross and cannot be untangled.  
   Perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Steve Berry
