The Witch who Tipped the Scales - Felix and Penzi's Eleventh Paranormal Mystery

Katie Penryn

Sinossi

Deception within illusion as the cameras roll.
 
 
 
Can't Lady Justice see what's going on?
 
 
 
A new normalcy is returning to the little French seaside town of Beaucoup-sur-Mer. It is now considered safe to resume the production of the film about Henry VIII's visit to Francis I's renaissance palace at Cognac. White witch Penzi's friends, the A list couple, Izzy Tointon and her husband, Brent McGill, start the cameras rolling once more.
 
 
 
At first all goes well. The actors are happy to be back at work. Then the atmosphere amongst cast and crew deteriorates. Tempers fray. Innuendo and gossip are rife. The tension escalates to murder. White witch Penzi finds herself having to step in to replace the victim because the show must go on. Felix, Penzi's shapeshifting bodyguard, doesn't want her anywhere near the cameras, let alone the murderer whoever he may be.
 
 
 
However, Penzi stands by her friends and is drawn into solving the murder, putting all thought of personal danger aside in the fight of good against evil. Perhaps she won't find it so easy to tell the difference this time.

Skyfire

Mack Maloney

The threat of nuclear war keeps Hawk Hunter in the cockpit—from the author who delivers “desperate, raw, 200-proof action” (Stephen Coonts).   In the chaos that followed the end of World War III, Major Hawk Hunter took refuge in the arms of a woman named Dominique. As he waged war against the Soviets, fighting to restore the United States, the nation’s greatest fighter pilot and the woman he loved became the most famous couple of the Free World. But Hunter’s campaign soon tore them apart, and he was forced to send her to Canada, where his enemies claimed Dominique as their own. Drugged, tortured, and imprisoned, she waits helplessly—praying for his return. After leading a daring raid to rescue his beloved, Hunter announces his retirement, declaring that only a nuclear threat could get him back into the cockpit. But such a threat is coming—in the sleek black nuclear submarines now steaming toward the eastern seaboard, whose warheads threaten everything Hunter has fought to rebuild. Skyfire is the eighth book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.
