Synopsis

Sasha Frazier was born to run—and built to win. With Olympic gold within reach, her speed has become the pride of a nation desperate for glory. But behind every record she shatters, shadows gather. Whispers of a buried drug test, a mysteriously vanished teammate, and a mother’s legacy that isn’t as clean as it seemed.
 
Returning to the spotlight after years in exile, Sasha is determined to reclaim her name and outrun the weight of a past that refuses to stay buried. But when a sudden call throws her back into the high-stakes world of international athletics, she discovers that medals aren’t the only things being traded behind closed doors.
 
Each lap takes her closer to the truth—and further from the safety of ignorance. As the lines blur between loyalty and betrayal, performance and manipulation, Sasha must decide who she is without the stopwatch... and whether winning means crossing the finish line or walking away from it forever.
 
The faster she runs, the more the truth closes in.
 
Is she chasing victory—or running from guilt?

    Growing, growing, gone… 
    Penrith, in the heart of the Lake District, is not the kind of place you can easily vanish. 
    Certainly not when the members of the Penrith Bingo Club are trying to track you down. But even stalwart sleuth, Amita Khatri, and her son in law, Jason, are foxed this time when a local woman tells them her husband, a mild-mannered academic has gone missing. 
    And he’s not the only person to disappear. Soon Amita, Jason, and irascible retired copper, Frank, are searching for more people – and some missing money to boot. 
    From the veg patches of Penrith to the shores of Ullswater, as Jason and Amita comb the Cumbrian countryside for clues, they soon realise they’ve stumbled a case where planting the evidence takes on a whole new meaning. And unless they can unearth some answers soon, they might be the next people to disappear… 
    In The Garden Club Murders, Jonathan Whitelaw delivers a top-notch detective story. This latest mystery novel is a blend of domestic humour and cosy thrillers, making it one of the best stories to pre-order. 
    For fans of Peter Boland (THE VANILLA KILLER an absolutely gripping British mystery full of twists), Hannah Hendy (A Terrible Village Poisoning), Richard Osman (The Bullet That Missed), Penny Blackwell (Murder at the Bonfire), and Richard Coles (Murder Under the Mistletoe).

He offers to record his first CD and send him on tour, as long as Cree can keep coming up with the hot tips at the track. 
    Things are looking good for Cree until he discovers Win’s connections to the mob and his violent response to anything that doesn’t go his way. And when things inevitably go bad, Cree discovers that in life and in gambling there is never really the next sure thing.

    As the first anniversary of her marriage to Vice President Nick Cappuano approaches, Lieutenant Sam Holland is dreaming of Bora Bora—sun, sand, and a desperately needed break from the DC grind. But real life has a way of intervening, and Sam soon finds herself taking on one of the most perplexing cases of her career.  
    Government worker Josh Hamilton begs Sam to investigate his shocking claim that his parents stole him from another family thirty years ago. More complicated still, his ""father"" is none other than the FBI director. When a member of Josh's family is brutally murdered, Sam begins to question how deep this cover-up goes. Is it possible the revered director was part of a baby-napping ring and that others involved are also targets? 
    With a killer intent on deadly revenge and her team still reeling from a devastating loss, Sam's plate is full—and when Nick and their son, Scotty, take ill, is her dream of a tropical anniversary celebration in peril too?
