  🎨 Natural dye artist and botanical expert Indigo "Indy" Bloom is preparing for the annual Artisan Market when the market's organizer—a ruthless synthetic dye manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, face-down in a vat of her signature indigo dye. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Indy notices the dye bath has been chemically altered and the victim's fabric swatches contain color patterns that form a coded message. With her dye studio condemned as a hazardous site and her reputation fading fast, Indy must extract the truth from this colorful mess. Assisted by her natural dye collective and the handsome chemist analyzing the contaminated dye bath, Indy uncovers a scheme involving industrial dye sabotage, stolen botanical recipes, and a plot to discredit natural dyers. From suspicious pH levels that reveal tampering to plant materials that don't grow in the victim's region, every hue tells a story. But when Indy discovers the victim was systematically stealing ancient dye recipes from indigenous communities to patent them for corporate profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more valuable than any chemical formula. With the artisan market days away and the real villain still stirring the pot, Indy must fix the colors of truth before her own dye business bleeds out completely.

  Four novels in one volume, featuring a British doctor who investigates symptoms and suspects with equal dedication . . . This collection of crime thrillers stars Dr Cathy Moreland, who manages not only her own practice and her bipolar disorder, but also investigations into murder, and includes:Shooting Pains When a patient visits Cathy with a disturbing story of marital tension and a bruise on her arm, she’s understandably concerned. But Fiona, despite confiding her fear of her husband, refuses further help. After Fiona’s husband asks Cathy to sign his gun licence form days later, and then someone is killed with the gun, Cathy must sort through her suspicions and find out what’s been happening behind closed doors.Clinically Dead During a condolence call to medical secretary Sara Wiseman, Cathy finds it odd that Sara seems more upset about the recent suspicious death of her boss at the hospital than about the loss of her own mother to Alzheimer’s. But she’s far more alarmed when Sara’s husband says he suspects Sara was having an affair with the dead doctor—and fears that was the least of her transgressions . . .Lethal Resuscitation A medical conference becomes a murder scene when Cathy checks in at a country hotel for an advanced life support course—and the equipment meant for saving lives is instead used to kill a bad-tempered doctor.The Vanishing Patient Cathy is taken aback when an irate patient claims his ailing wife has been kidnapped by one of her colleagues using a false name. Is someone impersonating a doctor, or is Adam Steer delusional? But the more she looks into the bizarre story, the more she starts doubting her own sanity. Can she make sense of the events around her before everything spirals out of control?
