    A bad day with coffee is better than a good day without it. 
    Running a private investigation business in the seaside town of Firefly Bay should be a pretty easy job. One where I call the shots—figuratively speaking because to put clumsy little ole me in charge of a firearm is just asking for trouble. After a hectic few months, all I’m after is an easy day, where my cases add up to nothing more strenuous than deciding if tonight’s takeout is pizza or tacos (or both). 
    Should have known my day was going to go to hell in a handbasket when someone switched out my coffee for decaf (seriously, who does that?) and my main squeeze, Captain Cowboy Hot Pants, aka Detective Kade Galloway’s ex-girlfriend and internal affairs investigator, Savannah Mcintosh, turns up to work a case. 
    Before I can say café latte, Galloway’s dodging my calls, I’ve got a raccoon on my hands who’s decided mi casa es su casa, my ghostly best friend has a crush to die for, and local teenager Kira Melendez has turned up missing. 
    So much for an easy day. I have a sneaking suspicion my life is about to become a whole new level of crazy. 
    Join Audrey Fitzgerald in the Ghost Detective series, a paranormal cozy mystery featuring a cat, a ghost, and a murder to solve.

    In this thrilling espionage fiction debut, an American journalist in Ghana is pulled into a dangerous struggle for control of the world's fiber optic cables. 
     
    Journalist Danielle "Dani" Moreau has spent a lifetime trying to outrun the privilege she was born into. Fresh off a personal tragedy, she lands in Ghana to uncover corruption in the local oil industry. But when she crosses paths with James Aidoo, an idealistic young Ghanaian whose father is a local populist politician, Dani remembers what drew her to journalism in the first place: you go looking for a story, but when the real story appears, it's never the one you expected.Dani soon finds herself chasing a scoop that involves an American operative with a violent past, a Ghanaian double agent, and a fight between the United States and China over one of the world's most dangerous and least-known technologies: fiber optic cables. Underwater tubes as thick as a garden hose, the cables snake along the seafloor carrying the world’s information at the speed of light from one continent to another, and the fight to control them is increasingly visible on the world's front pages. Amidst this world-changing struggle, Dani and her new associates will be forced to make deadly choices that impact each other and their own lives in ways nobody expects.

    One week before the swanky, vino-drenched Flight of Fancy Charity Auction in Sonoma, California, someone decides that blending grape varieties just isn’t thrilling enough and goes full-blown murder mystery. A shady character—who apparently had a side hustle crafting counterfeit bottles of extremely pricey wine—ends up very dead. And by "very dead," we mean unrecognizable: wallet gone, car missing, computer swiped, and face… well, let’s just say the killer took “faceless” quite literally. 
    Enter Sarah McKee, our wine expert and (probably) the only person who can sniff out a wine’s origin and potentially a murder victim. But instead of a solid lead, all she finds is a crumpled piece of paper in the dead guy's pocket—a bunch of random numbers, circles, and checkmarks that looks like the world’s least fun Sudoku. 
    Then, as if one mysterious murder weren’t enough to pair with a nice Merlot, a second victim shows up. This time, the murder weapon points directly at Sarah’s good friend Zach Sullivan, who’s already knee-deep in his own woes: thanks to his dad’s gambling habits. And to make matters worse, Zach’s the only one with even a whiff of motive for offing both victims. 
    Determined to clear Zach's name, Sarah teams up with a smokin’ hot sheriff who follows the rulebook like it's his life’s work. Together, they sift through Sonoma’s secrets, hoping the counterfeit crew behind this wine scheme will slip up before they get corked themselves. But as they uncover the twisted plot, Sarah realizes the list from the pocket isn’t just a grocery list of fine vintages—it’s the key to unmasking the whole operation. 
    Now, the question is: can Sarah connect the dots, reveal the killer at the auction, and clear Zach’s name before they’re all served up with a sinister side of danger? Grab your glass—it’s about to get bubbly.
