Beschreibung

The party girls of London are being targeted in a nefarious plot in the first Patrick Dawlish mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author.   For a big bruiser of a man, Patrick Dawlish is as nimble as can be when it comes to solving crime. And all of his physical and intellectual strength will be needed when his life takes a decidedly violent turn . . .   First, Dawlish realizes he’s being followed. Then, Diana Lefroy, heiress to millions, appeals to him for help. She’s being blackmailed by someone who has already killed two other local socialites whose deaths were ruled as suicides. After a good friend’s assault and a shooting, Dawlish is warned by Scotland Yard not to take matters into his own hands. The problem is, when Dawlish takes the reins, he gets results. And whoever is putting the fear of death into London’s most wealthy women is about to learn that lesson well.

    (Previously released as "Where the Crawfish Swim.")  
    Welcome to Briarton, Ohio. Population: Just a sliver over 2,100 people. Briarton is located in Southern Ohio--the gateway to Appalachia. The people in this small village, in a county where farming and poverty are the main occupation, move at their own pace. They hunt, they fish, they farm - but their secrets run deeper than the fishing holes that dot the countryside. Dalton Edwards, an agent with the DEA is about to uncover a few of those secrets, when he's assigned to Briar County on a low-priority assignment by his boss . . . as punishment. 
    His boss says it's a pot-growing operation, but Dalton thinks it's much bigger than that. Before his assignment is over, eight family members will be murdered under circumstances that Dalton knows have nothing to do with a hydroponic weed operation--or a custody dispute. The mass murder makes international news, Dalton is determined to find the murder (or murderers) and expose the guilty to seek justice for the slain. It won't be easy, and in the end, one more local will perish. Dalton will not rest until those responsible are held accountable. 
    This is a True Crime Fiction, but inspired by what people refer to as "The Pike County Massacre," which took place in Pike County, Ohio in April 2016. All characters contained in this novel are purely fictional, and conclusions drawn are purely a product of the author's imagination.

    Prequel to the Elioud Legacy series 
    In the end, you don’t need a hero in the field. You need a team. 
    A year after high-risk missions to stop terrorists, arms dealers, and criminals, CIA officer Olivia Markham no longer operates in the field. Instead, she runs a clinic for immigrants in a backwater Balkans capital. Olivia has also found a modicum of peace—and someone to love. Her career trajectory? A safe desk job at Langley. 
    Until the day terrorists attack the clinic, upending Olivia’s world and sending her back into active fieldwork. 
    Olivia, whose protective instincts often collide with her duty, now finds herself once again walking a tightrope between pursuing Agency operations and her own. When Captain Alžběta Czerná of Czech military intelligence calls for help to free a young trafficking victim, Olivia convinces Anastasia Fiore of Italian foreign intelligence to join their unsanctioned mission. 
    But Olivia has made more than one enemy during her short career—inside and outside of the Agency. Shocking allegations rocket her to the top of the CIA’s most wanted list just when a terrorist targets her. And more than her career is at stake. Much more. As Olivia sets out on what could be her final mission, Stasia and Beta initiate their own operational protocol for their friend. 
    Set a year before THE ELIOUD LEGACY series, THE GUARDIAN INITIATIVE tells the story of how Olivia Markham, Beta Czerná, and Stasia Fiore team up to aid the victims of their intelligence targets—regardless of the consequences.

Autumn leaves are falling, there's a hint of romance in the air, and there's a caramel apple pie in the oven (recipe included!), so curl up with a hot cup of tea and enjoy a cozy visit to mysterious New England!
