  The first Callie and Cash thriller is now available in trade paperback! 
  For fans of Scott Turow, Lee Child, and Raymond Chandler 
  “Weissbourd has created an entire genre—Seattle Noir… I devoured the novel in a single night and I think you will, too.” —Jacob Epstein, writer and executive story editor, Hill Street Blues 
  Celebrated restaurateur Callie James is stunned when her estranged ex-husband, French investigative reporter Daniel Odile-Grand, strolls into her restaurant on what could have been any Seattle evening. After fourteen years, the story he tells is even more unlikely than his sudden appearance. As she throws him out into the darkness, her nightmare begins. Daniel is deliberately hit by a car, hurled through the front window of her restaurant—broken, bloody and unconscious… 
  Reluctantly, Callie hides him. Returning to her restaurant, she is greeted by two assassins insisting that she produce Daniel or pay deadly consequences. Overwhelmed, and hopelessly out of her depth, Callie hires the only man she knows who can help her: Cash Logan. Callie can’t imagine relying on Cash, a soldier of fortune… and her former bartender, a man she had arrested for smuggling ivory through her restaurant two years earlier, a man who still hasn’t forgiven her.  
  After a devastating attack on her restaurant, with danger in plain sight, Callie and Cash face kidnappers, murderers, weapons dealers, and treachery at every turn. Ultimately, Callie is forced to change— to become authentically self-aware—with stunning consequences.

But the real culprit has a grudge that's been simmering for years. And unless Krissy can uncover the truth before the killer's rage boils over again, it won't just be her business in hot water—her life will be on the line too . . .

  The first book in the "outstanding" British police procedural series—the basis for the long-running BBC series featuring the Yorkshire detective duo (The New York Times). 
   
   
    
  Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
   
   
    
  Mary Connon froze out her husband, Sam, long ago. She likes the attention of other men—like the fellow members of Sam's rugby club. Naturally, when she's found dead in her sitting room with a hole in her head, Sam is a suspect. If only he hadn't suffered a dizzying scrum injury that's left everything a blur. He isn't sure that he didn't kill her. But Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, Peter Pascoe, are looking outside the unhappy home. Because it seems everyone within spitting distance of the suburban femme fatale—from prying neighbors to spurned lovers to jealous wives—wanted Mary dead. As the field of play expands, so do the motives . . .
