  Jacqueline Finch is a lifelong book lover, which is why it was a literal gift from the Universe when she inherited Three Tomes Bookshop. 
   
   
   
  But she's had a few adjustments to make along the way, including the fact that her bookshop seems to be a haven for literary characters to come alive and to stick their noses into things that aren't any of their business. 
   
   
   
  And then there are the three old ladies down the street, whose resemblance to Macbeth's Witches Three cannot be ignored. 
   
   
   
  Nevertheless, Jacqueline is happy and everything seems to be going well, even when she discovers that Dickens's the Artful Dodger has come to life. 
   
   
   
  She manages to keep Dodger under wraps until a young woman bursts into the shop claiming her husband is trying to kill her. Jacqueline springs into action, but it turns out the young woman wants a specific kind of assistance that Jacqueline has no idea how to provide. 
   
   
   
  Things get even worse when Cinderella shows up at the shop and the Artful Dodger falls for her . . . and neither of them have any intention of returning to their books. 
   
   
   
  Jacqueline's got her hands full, but with the help of the three crones and her two best friends, she's determined to muddle through.

  A thrilling literary fiction whodunit for fans of Delia Owens and Jacqueline Winspear 
   
   
   
  World War II is raging overseas, but life remains painfully quiet on the rugged New England fishing island of Fourth Cliff. With most of its able-bodied male inhabitants away in the service, the island is now home only to aged fishermen, concerned women and children, and second-rate soldiers guarding a low-priority military emplacement and camp for Italian POWs. 
   
   
   
  With her husband Archie, Fourth Cliff's beloved police captain, off fighting in the Marines, Mary Beth Swann steps into his role. Though a cop herself, she has to fight for the respect of Fourth Cliff's hardscrabble residents. And that's before a murdered POW surfaces in a fisherman's net, followed by more bodies. 
   
   
   
  Determined to find the killer, Swann must rely only on the help of a simple-minded deputy, a disgraced doctor, and a mob-connected mainlander to prove her worth to Fourth Cliff—and to herself. 
   
   
   
  In the tradition of Where the Crawdads Sing and the BBC's Foyle's War, Michael Oren's novel seizes the listener and doesn't let go until the very end.

  “Thriller writing at its best.” 
  --Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  
  LETHAL COMMAND (Book #3) is the third book in a gripping new action thriller series from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with LETHAL FORCE (Book #1).
  
  Former Army Ranger and ex-NASCAR driver Derek Vesper is used to high velocity, whether its wheels, wings or skis. Assumed to be KIA in a firefight, Derek, unknown to anyone, uses his unique skills as a secret government operator to work outside the scope of protocol and to embrace the most dangerous—and fraught—of missions….
  
  In LETHAL COMMAND (Book #3), extracting a North Korean defector from the world's most heavily fortified border was already a suicide mission. Now with enemy forces closing in, Derek Vesper must orchestrate an escape across impossible terrain using everything from farm trucks to freight trains. The DMZ has never seen a chase like this—and neither has the Yellow Sea that stands between freedom and capture.
  
  The Derek Vesper series delivers pulse-racing thrills and knife-edge suspense that seizes your attention with an iron grip. Featuring spectacular action sequences and mind-blowing twists, this series will propel you through a rollercoaster ride, from dynamite openings to jaw-dropping finales. Ideal for readers who love the works of Daniel Silva, Brad Taylor, and Vince Flynn.
  
  Future books in the series are also available!
  
  “Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down.”
  --Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  
  “One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
  --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
