    “Five Stars! The tale immediately drew me in, into the town, into the intriguing mystery, and into the people. A real treat to read." ~Deb, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer 
    Laurel Falls, N.C., 1985: I was done with being a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., tired of all the violence. So I packed up and moved to the small town of Laurel Falls, N.C. It looked like heaven to me—ancient mountains brimming with tall trees and songbirds, peace and quiet. Until I found the body. 
    The sheriff took the easy path, calling it a suicide. No way. I’d found that young woman, and I just knew she hadn’t taken her own life. I’d spent my whole career searching for the truth, and I wasn’t about to stop now. Trouble was, without my usual sources, how much of a murder investigation could I pull off? 
    But a special kid lived next door. Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world. Hey, I knew all about that. I’d never fitted in either, but eventually I’d found something I was good at. I figured he just needed a chance too. 
    And he got one when we teamed up to solve that crime. Along the way, we sure met some interesting characters—both bad and good. We had a plan, and we worked it hard to find that killer before we became the next victims. 
    Looking back, I should’ve known plans rarely pan out the way you think. ~Della Kincaid 
    If you love Jacqueline Winspear, Sue Grafton, and Cheryl Bradshaw (no relation to Abit Bradshaw that we know of), you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. 
    Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations.

    "The entwined stories and Amato's passionate narration will remain in listeners' minds long after the mysteries are solved." —AudioFile on In the Shadow of VesuviusIn the latest installment of Tasha Alexander’s New York Times bestselling series, Lady Emily must solve a string of high stakes “accidents” while trapped in a lavish villa in the Bavarian Alps.In the winter of 1906, Lady Emily and husband Colin are invited to the opulent home of Baroness Ursula von Duchtel in the Bavarian alps. Outside is a mountainous winter wonderland with a view of Mad King Ludwig’s fairy tale castle. Inside, the villa hosts a magnificent but eclectic art collection—as well as an equally eclectic collection of fellow guests, among them a musician, an art dealer, a coquette from the demi-monde, and Kaspar, the Baroness’ boorish son-in-law, whom, it begins to appear, someone wants dead. Almost forty years earlier, Niels, a young German lord, sings to himself in the forest surrounding those same alps, capturing the attention of a not-yet-mad King Ludwig. Niels and the king become fast friends, their relationship deepening into something more as their time together stretches on. But while King Ludwig is content to live out a fantasy where their responsibilities don't matter and the outside world doesn't affect them, Niels knows that their bliss cannot last forever... Decades later, Emily continues to investigate Kaspar's increasingly lethal “mishaps" when tragedy strikes, ensnaring the guests in a web of fear and suspicion. It’s up to Emily to sift through old secrets and motivations, some stretching far into the past, to unmask the killer.A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

    But Zeus's reign isn't just about power—it's about style, elegance, and high-stakes sophistication. 
    By his side is Destiny, his girlfriend and lover, whose beauty and cunning are matched only by her loyalty to Zeus. Together, they navigate a world where every move is a calculated risk, and every relationship is a fragile alliance. 
    Their lives are a mix of high fashion and deadly deals, blending the art of luxury with the ruthlessness of their operations.

    Zeus is the tactical mastermind, the silent force behind F.O.G.'s most daring exploits.

    As the F.O.G. expands its influence, threats loom on the horizon. Rivals challenge their authority, and law enforcement inches closer, driven by a relentless desire to dismantle their empire. 
    The stakes are perilously high, and as love and loyalty are tested, Zeus and Destiny must use every ounce of their wit and charm to stay ahead. 
    "Gods of Miami" is a dazzling tale of power, seduction, and ambition, set in a city that is as dangerous as it is beautiful. 
    In this world, the boundaries between elegance and evil blur, and only the most cunning will rise to divine h 
    eights.
