    They took everything from her. Now she has nothing left to lose… 
     
    With the scars of her last case still fresh on her skin, DI Jamie Johansson is piecing together a puzzle that’s been buried for twenty years. It killed her father, and now she’s determined to finish what he started and expose the corruption threaded through every street of Stockholm. 
     
    When a series of violent incidents rock Jamie’s fragile existence in Sweden, she’s faced with a choice — drop the case, or have her loan to Stockholm Police terminated. 
     
    Jamie must let go of everything she once believed in, and call in all the favours she can to find a chink in the impenetrable armour of the shadowy Imperium Holdings. They aren’t above extortion, bribery, murder, or anything else. And they don’t like it when people ask questions. Jamie wouldn’t be the first determined detective they’ve silenced, but she may be the last. 
     
    From gritty, blood-soaked city streets to desolate and deadly frozen tundras, this case will take Jamie all across Scandinavia in pursuit of the men responsible for shattering her life. They thought they weakened her by prising her from the protection of the Stockholm Police, but really, they just cut the chain around her neck… 
     
    Jamie Johansson is out for blood. Old Blood. And she won’t stop until she gets it.

    Sometimes it takes a cat to catch a killer 
    There’s something special about Max. He may look like your regular ginger flabby tabby, but unlike most tabbies he can communicate with his human, reporter for the Hampton Cove Gazette Odelia Poole. Max takes a keen interest in the goings-on in their small town, by snooping around with his best friends Dooley, a not-too-bright ragamuffin, and Harriet, a gorgeous white Persian. Their regular visits to the police station, the barbershop and the doctor’s office provide them with those precious and exclusive scoops that have made Odelia the number one reporter in town. 
    But when suddenly the body of a bestselling writer is discovered buried in the last Long Island outhouse, and a new policeman arrives in town to solve the murder, it looks like things are about to change in Hampton Cove. Detective Chase Kingsley doesn’t take kindly to nosy reporters like Odelia snooping around ‘his’ crime scene or interviewing ‘his’ suspects. And to make matters worse, he’s got a cat of his own: Brutus, a buff bully, who likes to lay down the law. Soon Brutus isn’t just restricting access to all of Max’s usual haunts, but he’s getting awfully friendly with Harriet, threatening to break up the band. 
    Now it’s all Odelia, Max and Dooley can do to try and solve the murder, in spite of Detective Kingsley’s and Brutus’s protestations, and show the overbearing cop and his bullyragging feline how things are done in Hampton Cove. Will Odelia find the killer before Detective Kingsley does? And will Max prevent Brutus from moving in on his territory and taking over the town? Find out in Purrfect Murder, the first book in the popular Mysteries of Max series.

    A standalone novel from Stuart Woods, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stone Barrington and Holly Barker series... 
    Murder is not a spectator sport. 
    Chuck Chandler has choked on more than one occasion—first as a pro tennis player at Wimbledon, then as a womanizing coach at posh tennis clubs around the country. Now at Key West's Old Racquet Club, Chuck gets involved with the wrong married woman—the enticing Clare Carras, married to an enigmatic older man—and soon he is in way over his head. 
    Enter Tommy Sculley, a retired New York homicide detective who has just joined the Key West force, and his young green partner, Daryl Haynes, who turns out to be smarter than he looks. Up to their necks in an investigation of a bizarre apparent homicide, the two detectives barely keep afloat in murky waters. Events take them from the Florida Keys to Los Angeles and back, as a plot emerges that involves not only the dangerous Clare, but a furious West Coast mob boss determined to get back what is his at any cost.
