  Why We Lie examines the unexpected consequences of those who tell the truth about abuse and those who lie, and asks the question: is the truth always worth the cost? 
   
   
   
  Authored by former BigLaw litigator, two-year DC federal court clerk, Amy Impellizzeri's Why We Lie exposes the core of the #metoo movement in the legal/political realm—where powerful men have long been given a pass on criminal behavior, and victims have been discounted even within their closest circles. 
   
   
   
  Rising star politician and lawyer, Jude Birch, is clearly keeping secrets about his past from his wife. Jude has been the bystander of a seemingly gang-related shooting, but as the secrets kept since law school unravel—with the help of a zealous news reporter and the Capitol Police—his wife realizes he might not have been an unintended victim after all. Meanwhile, she makes every effort to clamp down a past marked by abuse and lies, and even a false accusation that still haunts her.

  A rushed rescue mission doesn't go as planned for retired Marine Jesse McDermitt and the crew of Gaspar's Revenge. The two kidnap victims are rescued, but they'd rather be taken back to the Jamaican drug runners who were hired to kill them than return home to laid-back Beaufort, South Carolina, and give the man who wants them dead the chance to hire someone more competent. 
  Crisscrossing hundreds of miles of open Atlantic Ocean, with a weather eye on a powerful hurricane, Jesse and his crew come up with a plan to lure out the man behind the double murder plot. A high speed run from the Out Islands to the South Carolina coast is fraught with peril. However, Jesse knows that the real danger lies in the sleepy little coastal town not far from where he was once stationed. 
  When southern politics, power, and money collide, double crosses are the name of the game. Guns blaze and big diesel engines roar, in the spooky marshes of the Lowcountry, as an innocent child's life hangs in the balance.

Only one man possesses the unparalleled genius to retrieve it—the brilliant eccentric Auguste Dupin in The Purloined Letter. But the journey doesn't stop in the parlor of pure logic. You will also brave the crushing, inescapable wrath of the ocean's deadliest whirlpool in the nerve-shattering survival tale, A Descent into the Maelström, and journey through fantastical Arabian nights in a biting, satirical continuation of Scheherazade's epic legend.

  🇬🇧 You won't be able to put down this latest instalment in the Fairbanks and Flynn Mysteries, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Benedict Brown and T. E. Kinsey 🔎 🔪 
  Three women hide in Big Ben, only two come out alive… 
  2 April 1911 is census night, when suffragettes hide overnight in parliament to force census takers to record it as their address – the only way women can have a place in government. 
  Coral Fairbanks, suffragette, actress, and artist’s muse, is among the women who break into parliament. What she doesn’t know is that Guy Flynn, artist and Scotland Yard detective, has been ordered to guard it that night. 
  When a suffragette hiding in Big Ben is poisoned, suspicion falls on the residents of two grand houses in Mayfair. The Kesbys are avant-garde artists, the Ashcourts are aristocrats fallen on hard times. 
  Once again, Fairbanks and Flynn put aside their differences to investigate an astonishing case of deception and murder. 
  A new historical mystery set in Edwardian London featuring the iconic detective duo Fairbanks and Flynn. 
  While this novel has the same detective duo as the other books in the Fairbanks and Flynn Mystery series, it can be read as a STANDALONE 
  Praise for Michelle Salter: 
  'A fabulous, well-written, mystery that holds all the promise of much more to come... The Iris Woodmore mysteries are fast becoming some of my favourites.' M J Porter 
  'A joy to read! Such a well-researched mystery. I absolutely loved the unconventional heroine, 1920s setting, engaging characterisation and poignant ending, all of which provide a captivating start to the Iris Woodmore cosy mystery series.' Anita Davison

  Jenny Weston and her mother, Dora, have been receiving strange midnight visits. The town of Bear Falls, Michigan, has its own elusive and highly secretive poet, Emily Sutton, who has lived her life cloistered away with her sister in a house at the edge of Pewee Swamp. But now, Emily has started leaving scraps of poetry in Dora’s little free library, and Dora makes it her mission to befriend the sheltered woman. 
  Meanwhile Zoe Zola—almost famous author, little person, and the Westons’ quirky next-door neighbor—is hard at work on a new book, this one about the inner life of Emily Dickinson. And once again, Zoe’s literary work starts making uncanny connections with the events in her own world as Emily Sutton reemerges into society. But Zoe begins to suspect things aren’t anywhere near normal at Emily’s swamp house or in the lives of the people she claims have abandoned her—until looking further into the poet’s half-truths leads Zoe and Jenny to a horrible murder. 
  The chaos surrounding the ensuing investigation grows even more hectic with Emily’s increasingly erratic behavior, the arrival of a young woman searching for her missing poet uncle, and yet another betrayal in Jenny’s love life. 
  And only poetry can set the truth free.
