  There's a dead man on the floor. And somebody is knocking on the door! 
   
   
   
  Her trusty feline familiar, Rumpus, is passed out in the bathtub. It looks like a setup. 
   
   
   
  They weren't lying when they said middle age was full of surprises! 
   
   
   
  She can't go to her boyfriend, Jon. As Chief of Police, he'd have a nasty conflict of interest. The truth is that Ruby looks like the suspect. And there's nothing or no one on the good side of the law that can help her. So . . . she teams up with the mob. 
   
   
   
  That's right. She calls her nemesis, Benito Lombardi. Call it crazy, but she believes him when he tells her that he has too much respect and if he wanted her gone, he'd take her out openly. 
   
   
   
  Now Ruby and Rumpus have a whole new cast of characters who are helping them, and they're not all good guys. But they all have one thing in common. They need to find the killer who set Ruby up. Because this time she may have woken up drugged and groggy. 
   
   
   
  Next time, she may not be waking up at all!

  The Colony

  It is the summer of 1979. An English painter travels to a small island off the west coast of Ireland. Mr. Lloyd takes the last leg by curragh, though boats with engines are available and he doesn't much like the sea. He wants the authentic experience, to be changed by this place, to let its quiet and light fill him, give him room to create.
  
  He doesn't know that a Frenchman follows close behind. Masson has visited the island for many years, studying their language. He is fiercely protective of their isolation; it is essential to exploring his theories of language preservation and identity.
  
  But the people who live on this rock—three miles long and half a mile wide—have their own views on what is being recorded, what is being taken, and what ought to be given in return. Over the summer, each of them—from great-grandmother Bean Uí Fhloinn to widowed Mairéad and fifteen-year-old James, who is determined to avoid the life of a fisherman—will wrestle with their own values and desires. Meanwhile, all over Ireland, violence is erupting. And there is blame enough to go around.
  
  An expertly woven portrait of character and place, a stirring investigation into yearning to find one's own way, and an unflinchingly political critique of the long, seething cost of imperialism, The Colony is a novel that transports, that celebrates beauty and connection, and that reckons with the inevitable ruptures of independence.
