  The name of Dunstan Vardis had become almost legendary in the underworld since his escape from prison five years ago. In some secret and mysterious way he had developed a sure-fire method of hiding wanted criminals. Every killer in the underworld came to Dunstan Vardis for protection. 
  “Just a minute, Mr. Klaw!” a photographer begged. “Stand still for a second, will you?” 
  The man raised a bulky camera to his eye and sighted through the periscope. He had his finger on the lever to click it down. Before he could do so, Stephen Klaw took his right hand from his pocket. There was an automatic in it. Without wasting a fraction of an inch of motion, Klaw fired from the hip. 
  The shot echoed and re-echoed like thunder in the vaulted train-shed. The slug smashed square into the camera, driving through the box and embedding itself in the photographer’s skull. 
   * * *  
  Tepperman was one of the high-output pulp author of the 1930s, able to deliver readable, action-packed fiction stories like clockwork, securing his place in the hall of fame of pulp writers.

  When Bruce Claremont quit his job working on a thoroughbred breeding farm and vanished, his sister Corey asks barn manager Steve Cline for help. So Steve slips into Bruce’s world, and the more he learns, the more he suspects that Corey may never see her brother again. Because all is not as it seems in this pastoral setting where secrets and jealousies and obsessions are the norm, and the present seems to be repeating its fiery past. If Steve’s not very careful, he just might get burned . . .  
  From Publisher's Weekly: Ehrman's knowledge and exposition of life on a horse farm is most impressive and enjoyable.  
  From Booklist: Ehrman skillfully ratchets up the suspense en route to a surprising conclusion that nonetheless makes perfect sense. That is to say she fully engages the reader, then leaves him or her satisfied. What more could you ask of a mystery? 
  From The Daily Oakland Press: “COLD BURN is a terrific, engaging novel full of bits of horse breeding arcana, and a more complex and realistic view of life and death - and birth - than can usually be found in the standard mystery novel.”

  When Winifred Page attends the Christmas-themed bridal show for a preeminent designer—solely to fulfill her role as best friend and maid of honor, mind you—she is stunned to find herself relishing the details of soft lace and the spectacular blown-glass display dangling overhead. Her delight doesn't last long, though, as Fred's aversion to everything fashion makes her jealous of her corgi, Watson, no doubt napping at home under the cozy Christmas tree. 
   
   
   
  The romance and elegance of haute couture doesn't fade to a sublime end, however, as the show comes to a dead stop—literally, for one Estes Park merchant—with a cry of murder as a body is discovered in a lace-strewn dressing room. 
   
   
   
  Untangling relationships wrapped in secrets and lies is anything but a simple sashay down a runway. But Fred and Watson are determined to fashion the truth from the scraps they uncover to ensure justice and to return their cozy town to silent nights and white Christmas dreams for the holidays. 
   
   
   
  (This culinary cozy mystery includes a recipe for heavenly espresso chocolate babka.)

  She came home to celebrate. She never made it to the front door. 
  Zoey Monroe planned to surprise her mother, PI Martina Monroe, with one final Friday movie night before her wedding—a cherished tradition since childhood. But after landing in the Bay Area, Zoey vanishes without a trace. Her phone goes dark. And Zoey is gone. 
  Desperate for answers, her panicked fiancé turns to Zoey’s stepsister, Selena. When the search yields nothing, Martina springs into action, rallying her team, the local police, and her former cold case partner, now-retired Detective August Hirsch. 
  It quickly becomes clear—this was no random abduction. It was sophisticated. Calculated. Personal. 
  As Martina and Hirsch dig into old case files, hunting for anyone with a score to settle, a shocking twist throws the investigation off course: the kidnappers finally make contact—but not with Martina or the police. The message is delivered to Zoey’s future mother-in-law. 
  What secrets are the Ashfords hiding? And could they be the key to bringing Zoey home—or sealing her fate? 
  With the wedding day fast approaching and time running out, Martina races to untangle a deadly web of past sins and buried truths. But the deeper she digs, the more one thing becomes clear: This wasn’t about Zoey. This was revenge. 
  A gripping psychological crime thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner, Karin Slaughter, and Mary Stone.
