Summary

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish is about to discover that during World War II, there’s as much intrigue on the home front as on the front lines.   The big, broken-nosed Patrick Dawlish has a history of matching wits against those who have outwitted the police. It’s practically become his chosen vocation when he’s not serving in Her Majesty’s armed forces. Dawlish’s requests to serve overseas have been rejected since he’s far too valuable in England.   This is how he finds himself on a train to London with friends Ted Beresford and Timothy Jeremy—three junior officers with the same mysterious orders to meet in the same mysterious room. Someone is attempting to sabotage negotiations between Ireland and England—and delaying much-needed wartime supplies. Within a day of reaching London, Dawlish and his men are faced with fires, explosions, and a shocking political assassination. And now, at least two countries will learn that it’s never smart to have Dawlish in the mix when he begins to take matters personally . . .

    “If you love a well-crafted urban fantasy, then this series is for you.” - Amazon Reviewer 
Almost everything was back to normal: governments had been restored, cities rebuilt, and the ancient gods’ existence remained a secret. Mostly. Only one thing was left to do: 
Rescue the witches trapped in Hell. 
Except Sera discovers the only way in and out of the underworld is to become immortal herself, the one thing in life she most definitely does not want to do. She must make the decision of a lifetime. As in an everlasting lifetime. 
Matters only get more complicated when she learns she’ll need to take Danae, the ancient vampire who created this whole mess, with her to Hell. Failing to bring her means the witches will be enslaved forever. 
If Sera fails, an even darker future than the one Danae had promised will be unleashed upon the mortal world. 
This time it will be Hell on Earth.

    The Grim Reaper is coming to the courtroom—where Daniel Pike and Ben Kincaid may face their final judgment. 
In Florida, defense attorney Daniel Pike is stunned when his legal files are ransacked and his lover, Maria Morales, disappears. In Oklahoma, semi-retired attorney Ben Kincaid is horrified when his connection to this apparent abduction endangers the people he loves most. Desperate for help, Pike seizes Kincaid and hauls him on a cross-country road trip to discover what happened to Maria…and why a killer is so interested in a California murder case. 
During the journey, Dan and Ben encounter Roswell aliens, San Diego cosplay, snowstorms, barroom brawls, assassination attempts, a cartel rubout, and an old acquaintance now behind bars. But someone dressed as the Grim Reaper is leaving a bloodstained trail of victims from one coast to the other. Every new clue points to a West Coast murder conviction—and a pending motion that might prevent a major injustice. Reluctantly, Dan and Ben agree to represent the defendant who might hold the answers they seek—or might make them the next victims. Will this be the capstone to their distinguished careers—or the final ride into the sunset? 
Enthralling for newcomers and fans, Partners in Crime launches a new Daniel Pike series and also features Ben Kincaid, the author’s first fictional attorney returning after more than a decade. If you like spellbinding courtroom drama, unexpected revelations, and jaw-dropping action, you’ll love William Bernhardt’s thrill-packed legal road trip.
