Sinopsis

The Abbotts travel to Texas and their dachshund finds a dead body in a mystery starring “one of the more interesting married teams of detectives” (Thrilling Detective).   When Jean Abbott arrives in Dallas to join her private investigator husband, Pat, she’s disappointed to discover that their dog, Pancho, is not welcome at the hotel. She finds a temporary place for him with the daughter of Pat’s wealthy client, oilman Iles Dollahan. Then little Pancho comes across a corpse on the secretive family’s property—and the Dollahans put the pressure on to presume the death an accident so that it will be swiftly forgotten. With no obvious suspects to suggest murder, that could be a possibility—until Pat finds a will that changes everything . . .  Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries “Lively and exciting.” —The New York Times   “Well-plotted and mystifying.” —Saturday Review   “Quite good.” —The Miami News

Rise of Ruth The - The Legacy...

C.J. Wilson

Born from science yet shaped by defiance, Ruth Rossiter has always lived in the shadow of contradiction. As a child, she unravels the secrets of a family she never knew—one bound by power, divided by ideology, and haunted by a battle over the life-extending drug, Gnia-itra. With each revelation, her world expands, forcing her to reconcile the impossible: a mother who fought against the very science that made her existence possible and a father who defied fate to bring her into the world. 
As she pieces together her origins, Ruth wrestles with the weight of two legacies—one of justice, one of privilege. But in a society built on control and exclusion, knowledge is dangerous. 
This second installment of The Legacy Series follows Ruth’s transformation from a child caught between worlds to a young woman forging her own destiny. As she learns to navigate power, deception, and the ghosts of those who came before her, she unknowingly takes the first steps toward a future that will redefine the world—becoming a leader in the fight for change.
