Sinossi

From an Edgar Award–winning author: A suspenseful tale of murder and espionage in wartime England. 
 
David Garth has been off in America, giving speeches on behalf of Britain’s Ministry of Propaganda. Upon his return, he’s surprised to receive an unsigned invitation to an address in Wimbledon . . . and even more surprised when he’s approached by two agents of Department Z. 
 
Mark and Mike Errol, agents of British intelligence’s secret detective squad, request Garth’s assistance on a mission that has already taken the life of one of their friends. Desperate for vengeance, the Errols are out to catch the cold-blooded killer known as “Frankenstein.” 
 
After finding his flat burgled and a body lying on the floor, Garth is willing to help the agents in hopes of clearing his own name. But this manhunt unearths a plot with international ramifications: to halt America’s assistance in World War II.

    Christmas in Mooselick River is all tinsel, twinkle lights…and murder. 
    After the year she’s had, Everly Dupree is ready for the holiday season—baking cookies, trimming the tree, guzzling eggnog, and indulging in one of her favorite traditions: the town’s annual Christmas lighting contest. 
    But murder never takes a holiday, and in Mooselick River, even Christmas comes with a body count. As displays are sabotaged, old grudges resurface, and bitter rivalries boil over, it’s starting to look like the lighting contest is about more than just dazzling decorations. 
    Then tenacious journalist Amber Hale turns up strangled with a string of Christmas lights, her corpse staged like a macabre holiday display—and her ghost becomes Everly’s newest problem. 
    The more she learns, the clearer it seems that Amber wasn't just chasing a headline. She was running from something—and if Everly isn’t careful, she’ll become the next holiday tragedy Mooselick River has to sweep under the snow.
