The Blue Sky Meeting the Grey Ocean - In the Darkness Secrets Hide and Danger Lurks

Harsh Mahilang

Sinopsis

When Raymond Arturo, a renowned art collector, is found dead in the dimly lit corridors of a prestigious gallery, it sets the stage for a chilling investigation. Three detectives—Pakiza, Yesh, and Dastan—are drawn together to solve the case, each bringing a unique perspective to the mystery. As they examine the crime scene, Pakiza’s sharp eye uncovers something unusual about the victim's body, while Yesh focuses on the surrounding artwork, sensing a deeper connection between the paintings and the murder. Dastan, ever the charismatic investigator, takes a different route, speaking with the gallery’s owner in search of hidden clues.

The case takes an unexpected turn when the detectives learn that Arturo had recently acquired a mysterious painting, the last piece he obtained before his untimely death. Hidden within the brushstrokes of the artwork lies a cryptic message—“The secret lies within the brushstrokes. Seek the artist's muse to reveal the truth.” As the detectives delve deeper into this strange clue, they discover a link to a long-forgotten ancient cult, whose symbol is eerily present at the crime scene.

As the investigation intensifies, the detectives uncover a world of art, ancient mysteries, and dangerous secrets, where deception is painted in every corner. The deeper they go, the more they realize that nothing is what it seems. Each brushstroke and every hidden message brings them closer to a truth that may be too dangerous to uncover. In this world of deception, can the detectives uncover the truth before it’s too late? The Art of Deception is a thrilling, fast-paced journey into a world where the line between reality and illusion is dangerously thin, and the stakes are higher than ever.

The Incumbent Coroner - A...

Paul Austin Ardoin

A beloved mayor. A seedy motel room. And a murder that shakes the town to its core.
Coroner Fenway Stevenson thought she was beginning to find her footing in Estancia. The coastal California town still sees her as an outsider—especially with her powerful father pulling strings behind the scenes—but she's starting to earn the trust of her team. Then the mayor is found dead in a run-down motel room, and everything changes.
The crime scene is strange. The prime suspect, the mayor's adult son, has a murky past-and when his young daughter goes missing, the case turns from complicated to explosive. Fenway's instincts tell her something is off, but the pressure to close the case is mounting fast.
As she digs into the investigation, Fenway finds herself stonewalled by those who once supported her. Political tensions simmer beneath the surface, and her father is quietly pressuring her to back his preferred candidate for the next coroner election.
With a missing child, a community on edge, and a case that refuses to make sense, Fenway must separate truth from illusion and stay focused-before another life is lost.
Taut, layered, and full of sharp turns, The Incumbent Coroner is the second pulse-pounding entry in the Fenway Stevenson Mysteries. With a tough, principled heroine at its core, this small-town mystery series blends forensic intrigue, simmering secrets, and emotional depth into a page-turner that keeps readers guessing.
------------
"Fenway Stevenson's latest mystery had me really turning those pages! The smooth prose kept me interested not only in the outcome, but the characters themselves. Ardoin is a fantastic writer."
—Carlie Lemont, author of Murder at a Discount
Ideal for fans of LJ Ross, Anne Shilolo, Willow Rose, and Blake Banner.
