Erin and her faithful K-9 Rolf will have to plunge into the murky depths to hook their quarry. Meanwhile, her personal life is on a fine line between survival and disaster. With all eyes on her, she will have to balance her family, her job, and her increasingly dangerous double life infiltrating the O’Malley mob. 
  It’s a deep dive into another New York murder. It’ll take all Erin’s grit to pull the truth out into the light.

  On holiday on the Cornish Riviera, Hercule Poirot is alarmed to hear pretty Nick Buckley describe her recent “accidental brushes with death.” First, on a treacherous Cornish hillside, the brakes on her car failed. Then, on a coastal path, a falling boulder missed her by inches. Later, an oil painting fell and almost crushed her in bed.

  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.

As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take centre stage as an unlikely sleuth. 
  Her investigation draws her into the world of the local amateur dramatics society, a hotbed of rivalries, secrets, and larger-than-life egos.

  With the steadfast support of her eccentric clients, the Dead Actors, and her devoted friend Adam, Ginny must summon the courage to step into the spotlight and untangle a web of lies and deception. 
  A delightful whodunit brimming with wit, charm, and theatrical flair, Murder in the Wings is a cozy mystery that proves all the world’s a stage—and the stakes have never been higher.
