  In this “outstanding” thriller with “a complex and absorbing plot,” rival detectives investigate murder by digging into the past of their rural community (Publishers Weekly, starred review). 
   
  It’s a new year for Peak District detectives Ben Cooper and Diane Fry, and that means new murders to solve in the icy depths of a bitter winter in Edendale, Derbyshire. 
   
  It isn’t the easiest way to commit suicide, but the dead woman seems to have simply curled up in the freezing snow and lain there until her heart stopped. There was no one to observe her death but the foxes and the hares. Yet she is riddled with bruises. Cooper and Fry are put on the case but they have as much questions about the abuse the woman might have suffered in life as they do the circumstances of her death. 
   
  The unidentified body of a dead man is found by the roadside. And an intriguing young woman arrives in Edendale desperate to solve a decades old puzzle that has haunted her family: a Royal Air Force bomber crashed into Edendale, in the same spot where the frozen corpse was found, killing everybody on board except for the pilot, who supposedly walked away from the wreck and was never seen again. With colds and flus and holiday plans thinning out the ranks of the Edendale police force, Cooper and Fry are scrambling to find an explanation for the two recent deaths while being pulled deeper into the mysteries of the past. 
   
  “The best to date of this ambitious series. The plotting is solid, the local color vivid, and the thorny romance fun to follow.” —Kirkus Reviews

  New York Times–bestselling author Stephen Becker’s “breathlessly exciting” (Cosmopolitan) post-WWII adventure about an ex-marine on the run for his life.That summer they hanged a fat man at the Western gate as a warning and example to all.    Kao was a traitor, a thief, a pimp, a black marketeer—and Jake Dodds’s partner. So what if he traded stolen military supplies with the Japanese, Jake wants to know. He never cheated me. But 1947 Peking is a savage, cutthroat city, and the United States Marine Corps sergeant is too busy saving his own skin to put up a fight over Kao’s fate.   Jake served his country with honor in World War II, but when he knocks an American brigadier general through a barroom window, no amount of battlefield scars or combat medals will save him from prison. So he sets out across the Gobi Desert with a caravan of Kao’s illicit goods—and plunges into a world of violence and treachery that will take every ounce of his strength and intelligence to survive. Pursued by Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist Army and a bandit chieftain named Tiger’s Assistant Demon, Jake disappears into the mountains—but the chaos of postwar China is inescapable, and “peace” has never been a part of this two-fisted adventurer’s vocabulary.   Gripping and rich with cinematic detail, The Chinese Bandit will please history buffs and thriller fans alike and “keep readers turning pages through the night” (Los Angeles Times).The Chinese Bandit is the 1st book in the Far East Trilogy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

  Lincoln James Legacy: War Child is the long awaited sequel to Olivia's Hope released in 2018. War Child is not so much about war itself, in fact, there is very little actual war within the pages, but it is about surviving after the war. Even years and decades later. It's about good soldiers and innocent civilians, especially children recovering from the unseen wounds and deep scars left behind after witnessing the brutality of war. The insults of your mind and heart, seen and experienced, especially from the perspective of an innocent little girl. 
  It’s about wolves and sheep and the quiet, unassuming sheepdogs of the world that try to keep the wolves at bay. 
  It's about Love and Joy and the kind of Friendship that we all dream about and desperately desire. It's about loss and grief that no one is immune to. Some of us bear more of that burden than others. It’s about tradition and honoring those that have gone before you. It's about being completely content in your misery. Then, Life comes along and drags you kicking and screaming back into the sunshine. When the wonderful light first hits your eyes, you blink a couple of times because you aren't used to it. Then you smile and suddenly wonder, "Why did I wait so long?" 
  Murder, Romance, Weddings and War 
  Seth and Jenny ride the roller coaster of uncertainty and joy between having the twins, discovering their babies were already named and finally, finding out who the real mothers are? 
  Long ago, on a snatch and grab mission, Link and his elite Dagger unit stumbled across a starving, ragged little girl. Now, years later and living in America, Celia still can't shake the nightmares of the war. Empty and broken inside, she trusts no one. 
  Then, along comes Jesse, Link’s son. He is different from anyone Celia has ever met. Infuriating yet… interesting. Does she know that Jesse is the son of the man that saved her? When Jesse gets arrested for murder, can she ever trust him?
