  After ninety-three well-lived years, Violet MacAskill is ready to simplify her life. Her eccentric solution? She’ll throw a decanting and decluttering party at her family home—a Scottish Baronial manor near the seaside town of Inversgail. She sets aside everything she wants or needs, then she invites her many friends in to sip sherry and help themselves to whatever they want from all that’s left. Janet Marsh and Christine Robertson, two of the women who own Yon Bonnie Books in Inversgail, enjoy themselves at the party. Not everyone who attends has a good time though. Wendy Erskine, director of the Inversgail museum, is found dead, and rumors swirl about food poisoning from a local food truck. Then Violet tells Constable Hobbs that a tin of rat poison is missing. And when Hobbs’s own grandmother comes under suspicion for murder, he enlists the women from Yon Bonnie Books, and the race is on to find the murderer. But where do they begin? Are there clues in the “Shocking Stockings” exhibit at the museum? Will the antique scrapbook pasted full of trivia about arsenic and bygone poisoners offer a solution? Or does the answer lie closer to home—is one of Violet’s friends truly toxic? Poisonous games are afoot in Inversgail and the women of Yon Bonnie Books are playing to win.

  But Jill's excitement turns to shock when she comes by to pick up her dress for the party and discovers a dead body in the shop.

Somebody in South Cove is dressed to kill—and if Jill's not careful, she may not live to wear her wedding gown . . .

  In a bloody, brutal raid, Abbot Blathmac is slain on the steps of his monastery for refusing to give away the location of the sacred relics of St Columba, the missionary who first brought Christianity to Scotland. Following a night of rampage and mayhem, one Viking wakes up the next morning to find himself alone, hungover, and abandoned by his crew mates. He can't swim, there are no boats, and the only surviving monk on the island has taken his sword. With only his wits, he must survive long enough not only to rejoin his Viking comrades, but also to find the location of the elusive relics that brought him here in the first place. 
   
   
   
  Rooted in the real history of Iona and its early monks, Columba's Bones is an utterly unique and thrilling book, exploring the clash of early Christianity and paganism, and expanding into a sharp, witty meditation on philosophy, redemption, shame, violence, love, transcendence, and reality.

  Former special agent Kade Black knows his adversaries well. He's shadowed terrorists, spies, and mafia bosses. 
   
   
   
  But he's never had to confront all three at once. 
   
   
   
  Kade's latest clue has him watching a new dead drop serviced by the late GRU operative, Sergei. But this drop is inactive. No sign of use. 
   
   
   
  Another intelligence agency has arrived in Sergei's wake. Far from a clandestine operation, agents of the PRC are moving around in the open. Forcing their way into small town politics and flirting with criminal enterprise. But to what end? 
   
   
   
  The answers will expose a very different gap along the banks of the Delaware River. An intelligence gap. One that puts global security at risk. 
   
   
   
  With the identity of a key conspirator in Sergei's operation close at hand, Kade will need to root out the bad actors, dead or alive. For that, he'll need the help of friends and foes alike. 
   
   
   
  But has this shadowy cabal already exacted their deadly toll?
