  The murder of a moderator for a school competition spells trouble for Portland P. I. partners and moms Maya Kendrick and Sandra Wallage . . . 
   
   
   
  Twelve-year-old Rocco Fanelli is a spelling bee champ in the making. He's the odds-on favorite to win the local middle-school bee and go on to the regionals, the state, and ultimately the nationals. Which is why someone is trying to intimidate him to drop out with a threatening note in his locker. Rocco's concerned parents hire Maya and Sandra to uncover the culprit and ensure their son's safety. 
   
   
   
  But the competition turns killer when a high school teacher who's running the bee, clearly favoring certain students, is found dead in the school supply closet. Sandra had already confronted Ellie Lambert over unfairly grading her son Ryan—which now makes her a suspect. 
   
   
   
  She's not the only one who tangled with the teacher, however, and with suspects ranging from helicopter parents to the school custodian, Maya and Sandra will need to put their heads together to spell out who had the motive and opportunity to silence Ellie Lambert . . .

  Five years after witnessing murder on the Aegean island of Paros, Alistair Haston receives a call from Greece, from a man claiming to be his son's grandfather, but Alistair has no knowledge of a son... until now.  
  Desperate to find out more, Alistair heads to Athens to track down Amara, an ex-girlfriend. On arrival he is ambushed by MI6, who confirm the existence of his son Max, and reveal that he is the target of a kidnap plot by Greek mafia with their eyes on Amara's substantial inheritance. Shaken and determined to find Amara and Max, Alistair reluctantly agrees to help the British and Greek authorities. But there are so many questions to be answered. Is Max really his son?

  A magical talent show, a ghostly messenger and a devious murder. Elsie’s problems are piling up faster than the ‘treasures’ in Zippy’s hoard… 
  On the night of the Obsidian Moon, everyone in town’s on edge. It’s the one night of the year when ghosts can cross into the mortal realm—and believe me, they can hold a grudge. But when a dead body washes up in the pond, the cause of death is ghastly rather than ghostly. 
  The victim is someone from Colt Ridgeback’s past… and part of the reason he lives in his mountain cabin, isolated from the warmth of the town. When he’s named as a suspect, Elsie knows she has to clear his name—and bring him back into the fold. 
  But not even a murder is going to stop Professor Hissington’s Dragonsoul Academy’s Annual Talent Show. Elsie doesn’t have a talent (unless slamming an entire dozen hazelnut cream donuts counts? If so, just give her the trophy already) but she has a magic wand, the power of the All-Flame and a dragon familiar. But a gathering of all the young dragonmancers together with their familiars is risky business. It’s the kind of event that draws the eyes of the Obsidian Covenant… 
  Elsie’s also drawn the attention of someone—or something—else. A mysterious woman seems to know an awful lot about Elsie’s past, her family and her future. She conjures up a frightening vision, and Elsie doesn’t know whether the images can be trusted, or if it’s all a trap. 
  Can Elsie clear Colt’s name (and unburden his guilty heart), perform in the talent show and decipher the clues about her birth family? Or is this the time when everything is going to crash and burn…

  What’s scarier for Rust Belt PI Niccolo Fitzhugh? A dead body in the trunk of burning car or waking up in bed with prosecutor Alicia Linnerman after a blistering drunk?  
  Fitz’s life has been turned upside down since the death of his beloved wife Gracie. Outside of work, he’s holed up at home alone, drowning in his grief. But sex with Alicia has him thinking she believes there might be something more than being friends with benefits—something Fitz needs to shut down and fast. 
  When a stripper from one of Fawcettville’s topless joints turns down witness protection for testifying against a murderer, then comes up missing, it’s an easy conclusion the body in the trunk is hers.  
  Or is it? 
  Fracking has come to Fawcettville, and with it a boom-town rise in crime. One man’s search for his daughter may look like the act of a caring father, but Fitz has his doubts about the case—and where his relationship with Alicia could go.
