    When private investigator Daisy Fortune is approached by an uber-wealthy, mysterious woman to discover who murdered her fiancé on a yacht in the Mediterranean, Daisy is skeptical. Her client seems guilty, yet Daisy, a brilliant but floundering P.I., needs this case. As Daisy immerses herself in the opaque world of the mega-rich, she comes to learn, after a series of shocking twists, that the beautiful people hide the darkest secrets of all.
    
     “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”

    NEED YOU is Book #1 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
    
    Daisy Fortune never wanted to be a private investigator, but when her father had a stroke, she felt obliged to carry on the family business. Her P.I. business is on the brink of bankruptcy when an uber-wealthy client offers an extraordinary fee to clear her name. To do so, Daisy will have to immerse herself in the world of the mega-rich—a world Daisy knows nothing of.
    
    Red flags abound as Daisy finds herself pulled deeper into the web of lies and dark secrets of the world’s wealthiest.
    
    Secrets they will do anything to protect.
    
    Daisy, though, is brilliant and tenacious, and as she steps into the role, she begins to realize she has her father’s gift. Unearthing the truth becomes a passion for her and she learns she will stop at nothing to do it—even if it means risking her own life.
    
    A page-turning private investigator thriller, the DAISY FORTUNE series is a riveting mystery, featuring a brilliant detective and packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    A group led by American Alan Mackenzie daringly escaped from communist Hungary during the brutal Soviet repression of the popular uprising of 1956. 
    Twelve years later, at the height of the Cold War, Alan and two of the Hungarian participants, Frank and Maria, are reunited to help organize the defection of a high-ranking East German official who can identify communist moles in the American government. The resources of the American intelligence agencies could not be used to find moles within their own ranks; therefore, the President and the Secretary of State decided to find help elsewhere. 
    Under difficult conditions, the defector is extricated, concealed in an American tour group of vacationing movie technicians and small-time actors traveling by bus through Austria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and Poland. 
    The operation is flawlessly planned, and yet something goes wrong. The disappearance is discovered within a few hours. Due to the high rank of the missing official, the police investigation turns overnight into a massive manhunt involving the tour passengers in an increasingly dangerous contest of wits with the feared Stasi, the East German secret police. Under pressure from their highest party leaders, the frustrated Stasi escalate their search into obsessive, desperate actions.

    France’s favorite gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, returns in The Hollow Needle! 
    Lupin is back to his trademark intricately plotted crimes, stealing from the wealthy with stealth and style. He easily evades the best efforts of Inspector Ganimard and the English detective Holmlock Shears, but when it comes to Isidore Beautrelet, an amateur detective still in high school, Lupin may have met his match. Beautrelet becomes quite the thorn in his side, and he may even be clever enough to thwart Lupin. 
    But even Beautrelet may not be the greatest threat to Lupin’s schemes: it may be instead the woman who has stolen his heart … the woman to whom he has promised to give up his life of crime. Will he be able to keep his word? Or will the riches of France prove too tempting for this gentilhomme-cambrioleur?

    Her business plan doesn't call for sleuthing—but murder changes everything.</B. 
     
     
     
    Professional organizer Crystal Ward has nothing against publicity—as long as it's the truth. But a local reporter is putting Crys in the headlines for her role in solving crimes, not clearing out clutter. Now she's receiving requests for services that aren't on her website, and the spotlight is wearing on her family. 
     
     
     
    At least something good comes out of the unwelcome attention: Crys reconnects with an old friend, Eva, who hires her to sort through historical documents found in a Victorian house she wants to flip. Then a dead body turns up in the parlor, and Eva confesses she's been receiving threatening notes. 
     
     
     
    Crys knows to draw the line on the services she's willing to provide, but this is about friendship, not business. With the reporter hot on her trail, Crys tries to maintain a low profile as she sorts out the secrets. But good intentions aren't enough. Will this client once again lure her into an appointment with a killer with no place to hide? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
