  Ice cream, you screamWelcome to my murder scene. 
  Sheriff Rebecca West and her team may have ended the Yacht Club’s debauched reign, but things on Shadow Island haven’t calmed down. In fact, it's taken on a more terrifying form. Sensationalist headlines accuse Rebecca of everything from conspiracy to corruption, but the real danger isn’t in the ink and whispers. Something worse has washed onto the shores of Shadow Island. 
  And it can kill in a single bite. 
  A local man has fatally overdosed on fentanyl at the ice cream parlor after polishing off a salted caramel cone. No history of drug use, no needles, no signs of addiction—only a body filled with poison. Rebecca suspects something far worse than a tragic accident. But how does fentanyl find its way into a dessert? 
  When a father and his two children are poisoned by fentanyl after eating at a local diner, Rebecca comes to a startling realization. A sadistic killer is playing a dangerous game of chance, turning routine moments into fatal traps. The island is no longer just haunted by its past—it’s under siege by a faceless killer, lurking in every bite, every sip, every breath. 
  Instead of a bullet, he’s randomly placing poison around town in a deadly game of Russian roulette. No one is safe. And any unsuspecting citizen could be next. 
  Shadow’s Doom, the horrifying seventeenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, is proof that the power to kill is the most addictive—and deadly—drug of all.

  The fourth installment in the Cross Security Investigation series pits Lucien Cross against a new nemesis as he fumbles to gain footing on his latest case involving underground gambling and unknown scammers.
   
  Alan Kershaw is Cross Security's typical client, a wealthy businessman with a problem. However, his problem isn't the kind Cross Security usually handles. Kershaw was scammed by an unknown entity after being informed he'd won an online jackpot. Kershaw's bank account was zeroed out, but it's not the money he wants back. It's his dignity.
   
  Lucien Cross is hesitant to take the case. Scams like this are usually orchestrated by overseas entities who have nefarious plans for the stolen funds and no qualms about leaving a body count. But business has been slow lately, so Lucien agrees to look into things.
   
  What he finds are more victims. All local. All scammed in a similar fashion. Is this an international issue, or one with ties much closer to home? With rival investigator Ace Darrow assisting on the case, Lucien may just have the backup he needs, or the newest member of the team could prove to be the final nail in his coffin.
