  Arson and old lace. 
   
   
   
  When your not so very departed great-great-aunt relies on her old belongings to cling to her particular form of spectral life force, what do you do when some of them come up for auction in Tuscany? 
   
   
   
  Travel to Italy, of course! 
   
   
   
  But what Genie Darling expected to be a smooth, if expensive operation, soon becomes a haunting experience. 
   
   
   
  The auction house goes up in flames, there's a dead body, and her great-great-aunt Adriana's evening gown from Chanel is a pile of ashes . . . or is it? 
   
   
   
  So much for la dolce vita. And when it looks like the wrong man will be suspected of arson and manslaughter, it's time for Genie and her merry ghost sidekick to sleuth again!

  I thought I'd seen it all. Talk about your all-time wake-up calls … 
   
  Earth is teeming with alien larvae. 
   
  That reality has just crashed down on us like a ton of contaminated space rocks. 
   
  Every time I close my eyes, I still see the huge spider-like monster rising up. 
   
  I killed that one just in time, but we know that more could hatch at any moment. 
   
  Even worse … we know that if any of them reach their final form, they'll be indestructible. 
   
  Now, our only hope of saving Earth from this ticking time-bomb lies on the distant world of Eden. 
   
  The problem? We have reason to think the natives engineered this stuff. 
   
  If there was any other route forward, we'd be taking it. 
   
  We wouldn't be blazing this uncharted path to potentially hostile territory. 
   
  But with one card left to play in a game we can't afford to lose, I can't keep my mind from fixating on one unshakeable question: 
   
  Are we racing towards Earth's salvation … or on a one-way trip to oblivion?

  Her name is Rochelle, and she is only fifteen when she disappears. Her father is a secret service agent assigned to ex-president William Baron Clarke, and when he asks for help, Clarke calls the most capable tracker he knows: Robert Sand, the only black man to ever attain the rank of samurai. Sand combs the tenements of New York's East Village in search of the girl, finally learning what no father ever wants to hear: Rochelle is in the clutches of Pearl, the meanest pimp in town. 
   
   
   
  Called Pearl because of his exquisite taste in jewelry, he is no ordinary hustler. Kidnapping is his specialty, and the women he snatches for sale overseas are never older than eighteen. He is proud to call his business "white slavery," but his latest victim may be his last. Robert Sand is coming for him, and all the guns in New York won't be enough to protect this Pearl from getting scuffed.

  Evie's requests in life are simple. She wants her stolen memories restored and for her Aunt Birdie to live up to her promise to train her in the mystical ways of magic. It might be nice, too, if no one died anytime soon. Unfortunately, that hope is dashed when the mayor turns up dead in his boat on beautiful Lake Skipper. At least he died from natural causes. Or did he? 
   
   
   
  When Birdie does agree to start her witchy lessons, Evie's beyond excited, but she soon discovers that magically sweeping floors isn't the dazzling spell she'd hoped for. Still, all witches have to start somewhere, right? 
   
   
   
  Evie would like to keep the town's handsome police chief Caden at arm's length, but he seems to be the only reliable link to her forgotten summer. And she's not the only one with man troubles. When Aunt Birdie ends with not one, but two suitors, Evie fears her aunt's involved in a kitty love triangle, and everyone knows those don't end well. 
   
   
   
  It's another exciting and unpredictable adventure for Evie. As she searches for who might have committed the murderous deed, she uncovers clues to her own mysterious past, and she discovers that the fiery magic burning in her veins might be more than she can handle.
