  A sentient cloud whose arrogance leads to its own demise. A rich uncle who discovers a possible solution to climate change, but is not who he appears to be. A phantom killer who uses other people (and their cars) to commit murder. Balloons that predict the future. Paranormal investigators at the beach. Wolfmen who hunt bears for sport. A Cinderella story at a retirement home. Celebrities forced to make movies for eternity in a simulated world. A girlfriend who believes we reside in the mind of God.  
  Part noir, part humour and part horror (often all three). First Things Last is a book you might have to read twice to find your way out of.

  Teddy Lint is the kindest private investigator on the planet, committed to seeing the best in everyone he meets. The detective agency he runs out of a Los Angeles strip mall with his brother Ralph has seen a strange case or two before, but never anything like this. A man claiming to work for the CIA hires the Lints to find a shipping container of radioactive Agent Orange that vanished over fifty years ago. He insists someone is planning on using an army of drones to drench L.A. with the deadly chemicals before the week is out. 
  The Lint Brothers enter a maze of bizarre suspects, from nefarious ad executives, to anarchistic Boy Scouts, to a toga-clad militia fighting for exclusive rule by women. The propaganda-obsessed society that seems to be running the world is probably worth looking into as well. The power of empathy collides with the dangers of disinformation as Teddy fights to save the people he loves. Our beloved detective doesn't give up easily, but any Angelenos with an aversion to death by herbicide might want to dust off that umbrella, just in case . . .

  A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.  
  My husband is dead.  
  I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.  
  My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.  
  So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?  
  The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, unputdownable, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.

  Bruce Morgan is worried. His wife and fellow investment broker Melissa has just texted him--begging him to come up to her office. When he arrives, he finds her surrounded by four of her colleagues--three men and one woman--and they are livid over her recent insistence that they diversify their clients’ portfolios...with cannabis stocks! Now, their clients are angry, management is angry, and their careers are in jeopardy. Livid? Frankly, her colleagues are enraged.
   
  Now, Bruce Morgan is scared.
   
  These people want justice. They want restitution. And, after a brief huddle, they announce that a bare-bottom spanking be administered to Melissa by all of them. Naturally, the three male colleagues want her clothes to come off first.
   
  Now, Bruce Morgan is confused.
   
  With his wife now undergoing the most humiliating experience imaginable, he should feel sorry for her. And he does. It's just that, well, their sex-life has been more or less nonexistent ever since Melissa began obsessing over her work. So, the opportunity to witness this very arousing spectacle is overriding his compassion and making him very aroused, indeed.
   
  And the "thoroughness" of Melissa’s colleagues in "evening the score" quickly brings the spectacle to an almost unimaginable level of humiliation. And titillation.
   
  Now, Bruce Morgan is thrilled.
   
  Guilt-ridden to the hilt, this frustrated hubby is nonetheless becoming so aroused seeing what his wife is being put through that, well, he just can’t resist joining in on the fun!
   
  This is Book #6 in J.C.'s latest series: "My Wife--Submissive at Last"--a collection of titillating tales featuring horny, hard-up, and harried husbands who find themselves in newfound positions of power and dominance over their demanding, controlling, and sexually conservative wives.
