Sinopsis

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 . . .

    For generations, Hollywood has attracted all sorts of dreamers―and then has slowly crushed their aspirations. Elliott Gross is one such case; fresh out of college, he moved west from New York with hopes of writing for the silver screen and living a life of fame and fortune. A couple of years later, he's writing for an adult magazine and living in a garage. The year is 1994 and, with the rise of the internet, the era of print pornography is in its twilight, but Raunchy's owner has enough "catch-and-kill" secrets in the vault to ensure that his power will persist as long as his silence remains valuable. 
     
     
     
    When Gross is sent to write a profile on the company's newest starlet, he discovers that she has vanished seemingly without a trace. To find her, he embarks on a twisted journey through a business both seedy and carnivalesque. Rumors of a sensitive VHS tape held in the vault, which may hold the secret to Crystal's whereabouts, stir around Elliott and he stumbles into a corpse. Before his search can be concluded, Gross's position is terminated. Then he washes up at a celebrity-anchored New Age wellness brand and discovers a world far darker and more cruel than the porn industry. 
     
     
     
    Behind Sunset is a comic and noir-tinged tour through Tinseltown that uncovers darkness and lightness, in equal measure, from the most unexpected of sources.

    Would you destroy your best friend to save your husband...if he's done the unspeakable? 
     
    Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. 
     
    Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. 
     
    Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared. 
     
    But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara's husband is nowhere to be found. 
     
    As the investigation shakes the town to its core, and Tara's husband is charged with the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband's innocence or protecting Ginger's past. 
     
    Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all. 
     
    A twisty psychological thriller that is at once a chilling murder mystery, a heartbreaking family drama, and an ode to the bond of friendship. Perfect for fans of Verity, Lisa Jewell, and The Last Thing He Told Me. 
     
    "Crane succeeds at painting families and friendships in vivid detail; women will see their tussles and triumphs in these pages, and will relish the twists and moments of brave camaraderie and bold revenge." - Booklist
