  Ally, an aspiring actress, is about to give up on getting her big break. But then, after another disappointing audition, a charismatic scene partner says he has a fun gig for her. Soon, Ally is making easy money working for a guerrilla-marketing outfit called The Set Up. Now she’s getting lots of practice pretending to be someone she’s not—but each job seems more suspicious than the last. 
    
  Marshall is a washed-up journalist, teaching a summer class at the university and struggling to keep his students (and himself) focused on his planned lessons. Someone has been leaving copies of his old articles on his lectern every morning, forcing him to revisit the story of a decades-old tragedy and mistakes he’s made … both personal and professional. 
    
  Web, a quirky loner, has always been ready to pick up and go at a moment’s notice. In fact, he’s very good at not being noticed, at least not unless he wants to be. That’s been helpful in his years working for The Set Up, but the new hire’s questions are starting to make Web feel less confident about his work as a con man. 
    
  What is The Set Up, and who’s playing whom? The search for answers leads Ally, Web, and Marshall from the glitz of the Strip to the grit of Sin City’s strip-mall suburbs, and from an abandoned Unification compound to a deadly bar mitzvah. As their paths converge, this unlikely trio uncover the shadowy power dynamics and shifting personalities that shape a city.

  It’s lonely at the top. And deadly at the bottom. 
  Sexual harassment isn’t the type of case Private Investigator Winter Black usually takes. But it’s a welcome distraction from whoever’s been sending creepy, anonymous text messages to her phone and set up cameras to spy on her home and office. And after her new client reveals that one of her female coworkers hanged herself after fending off their boss’s sexual advances, Winter suspects there’s more to the story. 
  When another woman disappears, she’s certain. 
  Posing as an employee, Winter sets her sights on uncovering the truth at the climbing equipment company, starting with the powerful and well-connected boss who seems intent on showing her the ropes—in more ways than one. But when an employee's body is discovered at the bottom of a gorge, strangled by self-tightening rock-climbing knots, it's clear there’s a killer on the loose, and he knows exactly what he’s doing. And his victims aren’t random. 
  With employees dropping like flies, Winter must uncover the madman behind the murders before she becomes the next victim caught in the killer’s web. 
  The mystery and suspense continue with Winter’s Peak, the fifth book in the Winter Black Season Two series, a gripping thriller that will tie you up in knots. If you give someone enough rope, they’ll eventually hang themselves. Or you.

  Mary Minor “Harry” Harristeen is on the hunt for a killer with a deadly green thumb when a day in 
  the garden turns fatal in this exciting new mystery from Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky 
  Pie Brown. 
   
  Spring arrives in northern Virginia, and as the ground thaws and the peonies begin to bloom a bright magenta, 
  the women of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church prepare for a Homecoming celebration like no other. Harry, Susan Tucker, 
  and their friends are busy planting flowers and trimming hedges to get the church grounds in shape for the big day. 
   
  But a note of a menace mars the beautiful spring: The brewery owned by Janice Childs and Mags Nielsen, two 
  members of the gardening committee, gets robbed, with hundreds of dollars in merchandise taken off their delivery 
  trucks in the dead of night. Is this the work of a random thief? Or is something more sinister afoot? 
   
  When Jeannie Cordle drops dead at a charity auction, poisoned by a fatal weed, Harry’s worst suspicions are 
  confirmed: a killer lurks in their midst, one with a keen understanding of poisonous plants. Although she can’t yet 
  prove it, Harry knows the murder is related to the thefts at Bottom’s Up Brewery. 
   
  With help from her feline sidekicks, Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, as well as Tee Tucker the corgi and sweet puppy 
  Pirate, Harry sets out to find the weed in St. Luke’s garden—and stop a killer before they can strike again.
