  Holmes receives a letter from a man named Nathan Garrideb of 136 Little Ryder Street,[2] in which the writer asks for help in finding someone else who shares his unusual surname. He has been informed by an American, John Garrideb of Kansas, that if he can find another Garrideb he stands to inherit a large fortune. 
  The American visits Holmes and Watson at 221B Baker Street, and is not pleased that Nathan has involved a private detective. John Garrideb, who claims to be a lawyer, spins a ridiculous story about Alexander Hamilton Garrideb, a millionaire land tycoon he had met in Kansas, years earlier. Hamilton Garrideb was said to have bequeathed his $15 million estate to John, with the proviso that he find two more men of the same surname to share it with equally. John says he has come to England to seek out people with this name, having failed to find anyone in his home country. So far, he has found only Nathan.

  Power is the deadliest weapon of all.
  When a U.S. nuclear submarine disappears in the North Atlantic, the President wastes no time declaring a national emergency. Rights are suspended. Fear is weaponized. The nation is told the crisis is unavoidable—and necessary.
  But aboard the missing submarine, Commander Darius McCann and ship superintendent Amy Russell uncover a chilling truth. The mission has been manipulated. Orders don't align. And the supposed threat bearing down on American soil appears carefully engineered rather than accidental.
  As panic grips the country, two NCIS investigators on land begin pulling at threads the administration insists must remain buried. What they discover points not to an external enemy, but to a President willing to manufacture catastrophe to consolidate power, silence opposition, and extend his control at any cost.
  With millions of lives hanging in the balance, McCann and Russell are forced into an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk plunging the nation into chaos—or remain silent and allow a corrupt leader to reshape America through fear.
  Set against the claustrophobic tension of a submerged battlefield and the ruthless machinations of the White House, Silent Waters is a gripping political techno-thriller about deception, power, and how easily democracy can be drowned when lies rise to the surface.

  "At the end of your quest, at such a time you think you have the answer, you must look under the last stone, which will be in the palm of your hand," the mysterious Sheikh told her. Brazilian journalist Stefania DiMaggio neither wants, desires, nor relishes her first assignment. A dead end worthless project on a subject she hates. Reluctantly, she teams up with the dashing Thomas Houghton, the Duke of Radcliffe, who is keenly interested in her project for his own purposes. They follow leads throughout Europe and back to Brazil. Slowly but surely the corpses start piling up behind them. The duo cheat death at each turn as Stefania resists her growing affection for Thomas. Their activities don't go unnoticed by Svetlana Greschenko of Russian intelligence, who follows their every move. But the answer to the riddle eludes Stefania, what did the Sheikh's cryptic words mean? As Stefania digs deeper, and collects the pieces to an unbelievable puzzle, she realizes she's stumbled onto perhaps the greatest secret of the twentieth century, a secret which the Vatican, the Russians, Thomas and his family desperately never want to see the light of day. Stefania puts pen to paper on the eve of a summit at the Vatican to resolve the war in the Ukraine. Does Stefania trade her blockbuster story for Thomas' heart, or does fate intervene?

  If you live in the Pacific Northwest, get ready to run for your life . . . 
  In the face of a massive earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific Northwest, a respected geologist must make two gut-wrenching decisions. One could cost him his reputation, the other, his life. 
  Is the Northwest overdue for a huge quake and tsunami, or will the region remain safe for hundreds of years yet to come? No one knows… or does someone? 
  Dr. Rob Elwood, a geologist whose specialty is earthquakes and tsunamis, is having nightmares of "the big one" that are way too real to disregard. His friend, a counselor and retired reverend, does not think Rob is going nuts. To the contrary, he believes the dreams are premonitions to be taken seriously. No one else does, however, even after a press conference. 
  Some live to regret it, most don't. 
  Rob's drama becomes intertwined with others--a retired fighter pilot trying to make amends to a woman he jilted decades ago and a quixotic retiree searching for legendary buried treasure in the rugged coastal mountains of Oregon. 
  All are about to live Rob's nightmare. 
  "Riveting, scary, and entirely believable . . . a compelling, page-turning thriller with the ring of truth." Jerry Thompson, author of Cascadia's Fault

  When Juno Browne purchased a car for her lover, Daniel Thorncroft, she was not expecting that the previous owner would lock a dead body in the boot. Who the dead man could be is a persistent question, as is the whereabouts of the seller, Amber Horrell. While Inspector Ford and the Ashburton police are on the case, Juno's insatiable curiosity and concern for the missing Amber lead her to start sleuthing on her own. It turns out that the Horrells, Amber's family, are notorious in this corner of Devon, with an ancient murder and vanishing red diamond in their past and a shady antiques business very much in their present.
  
  With a second murder, Juno's involvement in the investigation becomes more complicated and the line between reality and fiction also become blurred. But the truth, she discovers, is far more complicated than it seems.
