  Edge, a shadow organization made up of the most powerful figures in Galway society, exists to rid the city of criminals and abusers who have evaded the law. Long wary of the organization, the Vatican is not pleased when rumors start swirling that one of the Catholic Church's own priests has joined its ranks. And who better to ask to intercede than the whiskey-swigging ex-cop who always seems to have one foot in the pub and another among Ireland's clergy? 
   
   
   
  Lately, Jack has been spending his days sitting at the bedside of a man he put into a coma and taking care of a little dog named Trip, bequeathed to him by a dead nun. Then an envoy to the Archdiocese shows up at his door, asking Jack to go speak to a priest named Kevin Whelan and dissuade him from any involvement with Edge. Jack accepts the mission, but the next day Father Whelan is found dead, hanging from a rope in his own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Would Edge really kill one of their own? And if not, who else would be bold enough to take on the most powerful organization in the city? As more Edge members are murdered, the Vatican grows alarmed that someone even worse will take their place. It's up to Jack Taylor to nail the culprit before Edge is dissolved completely and Galway is thrown into chaos.

  Meet SAGE POE—witch, supernatural consultant, and woman who really should have stayed home for that romantic picnic. She thought the biggest danger in a peaceful meadow would be mosquitoes and bad s'mores. She thought wrong. 
   
  When a viral YouTuber turns up dead from "equipment failure" that screams sabotage, Sage finds herself investigating a community where everyone's got secrets and grudges run deeper than their Instagram feeds. 
   
  Armed with magical abilities that are more useful for detecting lies than preventing murder, a family of equally sarcastic witches, and enough supernatural drama to fuel a reality show, Sage must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. 
   
  Enter SHERIFF EMMET QUILL—small town lawman who's gotten surprisingly good at dealing with magical mayhem and the woman who brings it wherever she goes. He may not fully understand her world, but he's learned to trust her instincts . . . and her ability to tackle killers in burning buildings. 
   
  As the van life community turns into a deadly game of survival, Sage realizes that in a world where your safety equipment might be your murder weapon, trust is the most dangerous luxury of all.

  Bohemians of the Latin Quarter

  Henry Murger

  As much as any other work of literature, Henri Murger’s 1851 collection of witty sketches Scènes de la vie de bohème shaped the later romanticized image of the bohemian artist: independent, insouciant, exuberantly lustful, devoted to Art for Art’s sake no matter how cold and hungry the artist might be. Four young Parisian artists, Schaunard the composer, Marcel the painter, Rodolphe the poet, and Colline the philosopher, form an informal Bohemian alliance dedicated to Art and the joy of Life. Pretty and faithless young mistresses come and go from their beds, most notably Mimi, Phémie, and Musette, while the young artists do their best to foil their creditors and feed their bellies on the way to artistic glory. Resisting the conforming forces of Success and Society is their greatest challenge, and in the end the question is: Does a time come at last to give up the joys of Bohemia? ( Expatriate)

  Molly Pink and the Tarzana Hookers have to read between the lines when a bookstore event turns fatal. 
   
   
   
  There's never a dull moment for amateur sleuth Molly Pink. Without warning, her infant granddaughter has been dumped in her lap for babysitting duties, her son has reluctantly enlisted her help investigating a potential investor in his business, and now she has to manage a high-profile bookstore event for a former Hollywood columnist who's dishing the dirt in a juicy tell-all. And when the author collapses and dies in the store just as she's about to reveal an incriminating tidbit, the police suspect foul play and zero in on Molly as the likely culprit. 
   
   
   
  Getting herself off the hook won't be easy, but Molly and the Tarzana Hookers are convinced that whoever did the deed wanted to silence the author before she could expose their dark secret. As the police continue to needle Molly, certain she's trying to pull the wool over their eyes with her claims of innocence, she's also in over her head in a mommy group run by Hollywood power couples—all of whom may have something to hide. As she finally stitches together the loose ends and figures out the killer's identity, they decide it's time to silence her too, and Molly has to think fast before she makes a quick trip from her granddaughter's cradle to the grave . . .

  An ancient brotherhood meets annually in the back room of a swank Manhattan restaurant, a fraternity created in secret to celebrate life by celebrating its dead. But the past three decades have not been kind to the Club of 31. Matthew Scudder—ex-cop and ex-boozer—has known death in all its guises, which is why he has been asked to investigate a baffling thirty-year run of suicides and suspiciously random accidents that has thinned the ranks of this very select group of gentlemen. 
  But Scudder has mortality problems of his own, for his is a city that feeds mercilessly on the unsuspecting—even the powerful and those who serve them are easy prey. There are too many secrets here, too many places for a maddeningly patient serial killer to hide … and wait … and strike.
