The wife of British sleuth Patrick Dawlish is plunged into a nightmare in this home-invasion thriller from the Edgar Award–winning author. Patrick Dawlish is well-known among London law enforcement, though he’s always worked outside of the system. Now an odd blend of private eye and farmer, he has no reason to change the way things are, which is why he plans to turn down the job that’s being offered to him: Scotland Yard Commissioner. But while he’s in the city, his wife, Felicity, is home alone in their rural cottage—at least for a while. When an injured boy collapses on their land, Felicity has no idea he’s not alone. While she tries to help, their house is taken over by a gang of armed criminals, who think Felicity knows more than she does. Luckily, an earlier call she made to Dawlish aroused his suspicion that something is wrong. He jumps in his car to make the two-hour drive home, not knowing what horror awaits him . . . It’s a good thing Dawlish had just declined that job offer, as he’s always been more dangerous when he can go it alone. And when someone he loves is threatened, there’s no law he wouldn’t break . . .
A treacherous murder rattles the Japanese embassy in London. The in-house secret service agent turns to Sherlock Holmes for help in quickly solving the case before it provokes a diplomatic crisis.
Catrin and Rhys travel to Windsor Castle for their third medieval mystery together...
August 1284. On the heels of King Edward's triumph over Wales, the high point of his reign thus far, he receives the worst news possible: his eldest living son and heir to the throne of England has died. Concerned that his victories in Wales, and even more the means by which he came by them, have brought the wrath of the Almighty down upon his house, King Edward sends Catrin and Rhys to Windsor Castle to investigate.
But although they find victims and villains aplenty, their far greater test—of friendship, loyalty, and allegiance—is managing the expectations of a grieving king, who fears his son was murdered—and fears even more that he wasn't.

But the way they're taunting me from the top of the well feels too personal. They say if I want to live, I have to tell the truth.If I want to hold my little girl again, I have to figure out who put me down here and what secret they claim I'm keeping. But how long until I have only one last breath?

Dog Rising is a short story set in the world of Neil Plakcy’s golden retriever mysteries—a charming series with heart and fur!
Set hundred years in the future, history professor Christopher Cousins believes he’s contracted a mysterious plague which is somehow related to the orbital Gates that allow light-speed travel through the solar system. But the governments and corporations of the solar system are willing to do everything they must to suppress the existence of it. What’s more, those with the plague can hear and see strange things no one else can. As he investigates, he falls in with a group of dissidents (or are they terrorists?) who, like him, want to uncover the truth–which may be the biggest secret humanity has ever kept.
