  Ever since childhood, the ocean has called to Mia Rossi. It wasn't until she uprooted her life with her family to move to Long Beach, a shore town located in Long Island, that she realized how powerful this calling truly was. A calling that brought Claire Benicek into her life one fateful day. 
  While Claire Benicek's life crumbles around her after her 7-year-old son is kidnapped from directly under her nose, Mia must come to terms with the mysterious pull of the waves that crash at her feet as she stands on the shore. Those waves that echo through her mind, weaving mysteries, telling her secrets that she can't possibly interpret...can't possibly ignore. When she is dismissed by everyone else in her life, including the police, about her strange beliefs, Mia must take matters into her own hands...especially when it could mean the lives of two innocent boys. When messages in bottles exist and when seashells whisper, we must heed their calls. 
  Mia and Claire are two women brought together by bizarre circumstances, but their friendship might be just the thing that saves them both.

  When private investigator Ivan Monk takes a case set in a public housing project, he finds himself facing the police and volatile gang members—and a murder charge. 
   
  Heat is building in the Rancho Tajuata Housing Projects, and not just because it’s summer in L.A. An immigrant family is firebombed and killed in their apartment.  
   
  Rage threatens to explode. The pressure is on to solve the murders quickly, lest more death and destruction follow. 
   
  At the request of the controversial onsite security force, P.I. Ivan Monk is called in to investigate. In tracking down the killer, Monk delves into a tangled history involving the Rancho, going back to the aftermath of the 1965 Watts riots and decades of bureaucratic corruption and racist policy decisions that affected South Central. As Monk navigates the complexities of Black and Brown conflict in the neighborhood, he finds himself at odds with the law, disillusioned with his friend and mentor, and, after a fierce fight with some thugs, under indictment for murder. He must race to not only clear his name, but prevent another bad night from falling on the Rancho for good.

  Between taking care of her family and assorted Standard Poodles, Melanie is also working as a special needs tutor for Howard Academy, a private school in Greenwich, where her younger son attends kindergarten. This year, the headmaster has come up with an idea for a school fundraiser. All students will participate in a town-wide treasure hunt, with grades competing against each other. 
   
   
   
  Tokens shaped like pumpkin spice muffins have been hidden in downtown stores. Students will scramble to collect as many as they can in exchange for prizes. At first all goes smoothly, and the uptick in foot traffic to the stores is a win-win . . . Until the pet supply shop owner lodges a complaint. When Melanie stops by to smooth things over, she instead finds the man dead, a knife in his back, and his loyal, ever-vigilant Chow Chow locked in the storeroom. 
   
   
   
  Over the headmaster's objections, Melanie is once again drawn into an investigation. It doesn't take her long to gather a list of suspects, from neighbors balking about the number of rescue Chows the man was fostering in his home, to the landlord who'd filed an eviction notice against him, to the bitter ex-wife who is happy he's gone. With the fundraiser soon drawing to a close and celebrations imminent, Melanie will have to follow every clue—before the biggest prize is staying alive . . .
