  "At the end of your quest, at such a time you think you have the answer, you must look under the last stone, which will be in the palm of your hand," the mysterious Sheikh told her. Brazilian journalist Stefania DiMaggio neither wants, desires, nor relishes her first assignment. A dead end worthless project on a subject she hates. Reluctantly, she teams up with the dashing Thomas Houghton, the Duke of Radcliffe, who is keenly interested in her project for his own purposes. They follow leads throughout Europe and back to Brazil. Slowly but surely the corpses start piling up behind them. The duo cheat death at each turn as Stefania resists her growing affection for Thomas. Their activities don't go unnoticed by Svetlana Greschenko of Russian intelligence, who follows their every move. But the answer to the riddle eludes Stefania, what did the Sheikh's cryptic words mean? As Stefania digs deeper, and collects the pieces to an unbelievable puzzle, she realizes she's stumbled onto perhaps the greatest secret of the twentieth century, a secret which the Vatican, the Russians, Thomas and his family desperately never want to see the light of day. Stefania puts pen to paper on the eve of a summit at the Vatican to resolve the war in the Ukraine. Does Stefania trade her blockbuster story for Thomas' heart, or does fate intervene?

  After a successful first season of Domestic Partners chronicling the renovation of their historic Craftsman Colonial, Peter and JP are taking on a renovation of a local Tudor Revival inherited by identical twin brothers Terry and Tom Cash. But linoleum floors and a pink-tiled bathroom aren’t the only unwelcome surprises awaiting inside the house . . .  
   
   
    
  Just as the show is set to start filming, Peter and JP discover Tom Cash dead at the foot of the house's staircase. And when the police ruling changes from accidental death to homicide, the list of suspects grows fast. Could the killer be the crabby next-door-neighbor, the Realtor ex-boyfriend, the bartender ex-boyfriend, the other, much younger, ex-boyfriend, or even renovation-reluctant brother, Terry? And what's that awful smell coming from the basement? Now Peter's mystery writer skills, and JP's experience as the former star of a cop show, will be put to the test—as will their relationship while they uncover the secrets of the house and its owners. With a killer on the loose, this is one fixer upper that may prove deadly . . .

  Short story "The Blue Cross" is Chesterton's first Father Brown mystery.
  It introduces the characters Flambeau and Valentin. It is unique among the Father Brown mysteries in that it does not follow the actions of the Father himself, but rather those of Valentin.
  Brown has been committing acts to draw the attention of the police (throwing soup, knocking over apples, smashing a window) and leaving an obvious trail for them to follow. Valentin takes this opportunity to emerge from hiding with the policemen and arrest Flambeau. Both Flambeau and Valentin bow to Father Brown's superior detective skills.

  Cocaine Cowboys - A Young Jesse...

  After undergoing many weeks of training during the harsh winter months in the frozen north, Jesse McDermitt and Rusty Thurman are ready for some time off, their last leave period in their first year in the Marine Corps. 
  Only this time, it’s not palm trees and sunny tropical beaches they’ll be unwinding at, but diving in the frigid and treacherous coastal waters off the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the famed Graveyard of the Atlantic, thought to hold great wealth in the cold embrace of her murky depths. 
  The perilous banks, with their constantly shifting cuts, both far offshore, and in Pamlico Sound, have been the stronghold of piracy for centuries and thousands of ships lay in their watery graves there. Modern pirates don’t plunder merchant vessels for gold, sugar, and silks, but instead preyed on all sorts of boaters around the Sound, even drug traffickers. 
  When Jesse and Rusty, along with another Marine, run up against the ocean thieves, an unlikely partner joins in the fight to tip the odds. 
  The OBX has a history as deep and dark as the ocean that surrounds it. And all too often, man-made storms cause just as much havoc as the hurricanes which have lashed her shores.

  Accepting This Vision As Fate Would Be My Ruin. 
  I may be an immortal psychic, but having a vision that the Horseman of Death will rise and claim my soulmate’s life really puts a crimp in my style. I mean, I just got him back. 
  Apollo has to know I’ll do everything in my power to stop it. 
  But no matter what I do, I can’t seem to push my abilities to give me specifics. Each time I try, it’s like my energy is siphoned and it takes me days to get back on my feet. Neat-o. 
  Add on top, we’re trying to keep the Gemini Twins, Colton and Cat, from self-destructing–or worse, getting taken by Sentinel. 
  Unfortunately, my rag-tag team is having problems of their own, so they’re zero help. Everything around me is falling apart and I can’t let it happen. 
  Come hell or high water, I will find a way to hold this group of misfits together–and good luck to anyone who tries to stand in my way.
