Summary

Detective Cadillac Holland is asked to find out why someone is trying to buy an entire neighborhood in New Orleans' poorest part of town during an election year. The Lower Ninth Ward has always been at the bottom of the list for improvements and services by the City Council, who seem a little too comfortable with the number of rebuilding projects that have suddenly sprung up in a part of town nobody previously cared much about. Gentrification isn't illegal, but it threatens to once again displace people who only recently made their way home after Hurricane Katrina. What Detective Holland finds threatens to stir the waters in Louisiana's most famous political swamp, and Cadillac soon finds there are harder things to fight than alligators.

    The shadows of the past are never far away . . . Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow is doing his best to ignore the madness of York's annual Viking Festival when duty calls. The body of a wealthy businessman, who was playing the role of the Viking king, is found slain by his own ancient sword. The murder scene looks staged, but before Shadow can compile a list of people to question a second body is found. Shadow doesn't have to look far for suspects—the victims were by no means model citizens. John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure, who shuns company, but is a keen observer of all he meets. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. He prefers to work alone but is ably assisted by the eager Sergeant Jimmy Chang. Together, the two men navigate a web of corruption and family drama to solve the murders before the killer can strike again.

    Take in the wild beauty of Santa Catalina Island with tour guide and eclectic gift shop owner Whitney Dagner. On the itinerary: dramatic Pacific coastlines, diverse marine life, and murder!Since returning home from mainland California and finding her groove with the family tourism business, Whitney Dagner's daily routine has become a wonderfully chaotic adventure. She and her nimble kitty, Whiskers, often find themselves at the center of the action on Catalina, from staged treasure hunts to gossipy birdwatchers. But before Whit can get too comfortable in the place where she grew up, a gift shop order leads to a stunning discovery—someone's dead body . . . One of Whit's best boat tour clients, Leo Franklin was young and newly engaged when he unceremoniously took his own life. Only it doesn't seem like that's what really happened—not after the suspicious activity displayed by his family's old rivals at the scene of his death. As a bitter, generations-long feud between Leo's kin and the local Ahern clan comes to a head, Whit and her police diver not-so-ex-boyfriend must lead a dangerous investigation into years of scandal and bad blood to figure out who's innocent . . . and who's covering a killer's tracks.

    Bitterwood’s new department chief, Doyle Massey, had a lot to prove to investigator Laney Harvey. Her take-no-prisoners attitude and his devil-may-care personality were destined to clash. Yet when three girls go missing in the Smokies, including Laney’s sister, their priorities have to change. With lives in the balance, the two suddenly find themselves on the same side against a ticking clock. 
     
    Their biggest obstacles? The weather and one snow-covered mountain. Not to mention an attraction that’s proving difficult to ignore. It isn’t the time for creating any kind of lasting relationship. But with danger lurking around every jagged turn, taking such a chance might be a case of now or never.
