Yet another collection of linked short stories from Oppenheim. By chance a young man and woman meet and set up an agency to aid Scotland Yard, but is romance in the air? This story deals with a young man and a young woman who make an informal partnership in criminal investigation.
Real love, much like the justice system, is messy. Fresh out of jail, Russell Siriano, boss of the Siriano Organization, is kidnapped. He was supposed to be safe in U.S. Marshal Kelly Chambers’s custody. Now it’s her responsibility to solve the strange crime. Using the lessons Kelly’s “Uncle” Frank taught her, she knows she must track down the perpetrators before the Siriano family finds them first. While Kelly navigates media embarrassment and accidentally falls for the only reporter willing to hear her side of the story, rival crime boss Pablo Jimenez takes control of the Siriano Family's neighborhood. As Pablo seeks to establish himself as a leader, second-in-command Flavia Sanchez fears Pablo is forcing them in the wrong direction. He's made the first move in a war they're not prepared to win. Close by, Maurizio “Maggie” DiMaggio was only back to sniff out a rat, but with his mentor missing, the loyal henchman vows to bring his boss home. Will Maggie call off the search when a dark secret comes to the surface or will unconventional justice take down Russell Siriano before anyone else has a chance? “Trouble Weighs a Ton,” the much anticipated follow-up to "Too Late to Say Goodbye" in the Tulsa Underwood Trilogy, is a gritty and suspenseful crime novel about family and fatherhood. It answers the question: How far are people really willing to go for the ones they love?Ver livro
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Born in the crushing poverty of Las Víboras, Mateo "El Corto" Villareal carved an empire from dust and blood. From an abused boy to a logistical genius for the ruthless Sonora Federation, his ambition knew no bounds.

Or will his bloody reign end in a concrete tomb, a forgotten echo in the unending narco war? "El Corto" is a hard-hitting crime saga of power, betrayal, and the devastating cost of an empire built on shadows.Ver livro
Would you destroy your best friend to save your husband...if he's done the unspeakable? Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared. But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara's husband is nowhere to be found. As the investigation shakes the town to its core, and Tara's husband is charged with the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband's innocence or protecting Ginger's past. Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all. A twisty psychological thriller that is at once a chilling murder mystery, a heartbreaking family drama, and an ode to the bond of friendship. Perfect for fans of Verity, Lisa Jewell, and The Last Thing He Told Me. "Crane succeeds at painting families and friendships in vivid detail; women will see their tussles and triumphs in these pages, and will relish the twists and moments of brave camaraderie and bold revenge." - BooklistVer livro
When the local authorities ask Ruby Simpson to help them find a thief in the small town of Castle Cove, she doesn’t have much of a choice.

But Charlotte needs a place to lay low with her younger sister, somewhere her parents won’t find her and the locals won’t ask too many questions. Getting involved with the cops, especially Deputy Jared, isn’t a smart thing for a reformed con artist to do. But Charlotte has to make a choice: raise her little sister on the right side of the law or put food on the table. What the real Ruby doesn’t see in her crystal ball won’t hurt her, right?
