  And in Corey's world, nothing says Christmas quite like a frozen body. One that Corey must defrost in order to close out her next case. The discovery of the deceased's possible connection to Thayer inflames the still healing wounds of their recent trauma and sends them both reeling back into a world of uncertainty and turmoil. 
   
   
   
  With her best friend in tow and the police not far behind, Corey ends up in the unlikeliest of places—a church. Along the way hate and violence erupt while corruption abounds. But from the ashes new relationships are kindled, and even the darkest moments are no match for Corey and Thayer's love.

  On the frontlines of the battle of the bulge, otherwise known as trying on bathing suits in the communal dressing room at Loehmann's, freelance writer Jaine Austen makes a new friend—a wannabe actress named Pam—and gets a new job: sprucing up Pam's bare-bones resume. Their feeling of connection is mutual, so Pam invites Jaine to join The PMS Club–a women's support group that meets once a week over guacamole and margaritas. 
   
   
   
  But joining the club proves to be more a curse than a blessing for Jaine. Though she is warned that Rochelle, the hostess, makes a guacamole to die for, Jaine never takes the warning literally. Until another PMS member, Marybeth, drops dead over a mouthful of the green stuff. Now instead of dishing dirt with The PMS Club, Jaine has to dig up the dirt on the surviving members . . .

Now one of them needs her help because her husband's been accused of murder . . . 
   
   
   
  When her week begins, Rarity expects the biggest mystery she'll need to solve is how a rare first edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland ended up in her bookstore bathroom.

  As someone who's been given a second chance at life, Rarity wishes her friend Shirley a second chance at love. But Shirley has rebuffed her senior suitor Terrance out of loyalty to George, even though he no longer knows who she is. Except guess who's the second suspect? Shirley's caught between two men—and it's up to Rarity and the survivor sleuths to determine if one of them is capable of cold-blooded murder . . .

  Beyond the gate, destiny awaits … 
   
  An alien message is now humanity’s only hope. 
   
  Decoding the signal has given us one chance to stop the Anomaly, an evertightening cosmic noose, before it squeezes the life out of Earth. 
   
  The only problem is, the aliens’ single instruction sounds like a bona fide death wish. 
   
  They want me to step through their incredible quantum gateway, an enigma wrapped in starlight. 
   
  Believe me: if I had any other option, I’d be taking it. 
   
  But with the best data giving Earth a few days before the Anomaly consumes us, options are in short supply. 
   
  Suicide or salvation? I’m about to find out. 
   
  Because whatever I'll find on the other side, this all ends now …

  'A very good story that gets as close as possible to the reality of being a cop' 
  Peter, Danish police officer 
  When 23-year-old Allan Schleppegrell is accepted into police school, it's a dream come true. A chance to become a kind, compassionate police officer like the one he idolized as a child and to make the world a better place. 
  At the busy Station Charlie in downtown Copenhagen, Allan gets the opportunity to patrol with one of the station's legendary officers, who is strong, charismatic, and willing to get the job done by any means necessary.  
  As Allan is pulled deeper into the darker aspects of police work, he finds himself faced with the question: Does he really have what it takes to be a perfect cop? 
  "Allan immediately tore the door open, jumped out of the car, and held the guy by the back of his neck with one hand, grabbing him by the throat with the other. Fighting to get free, the guy shook his head, making his thin blond hair sway from side to side, but it was no use. Allan had gotten a good, firm grip, and he managed to push the guy up against a wall before he found himself staring into a pair of blue and unnaturally wide eyes. He felt the panic spread through his body, and the eye contact felt like it lasted an eternity. What was he supposed to do now?" 
  The author - Erik Djernaes Hansen 
  I've been a Danish police officer for more than 25 years, and in 2018 I finished a master's degree in criminology from Cambridge University. For several years I worked in Copenhagen as a uniformed officer or undercover investigating drug crimes. For the last 14 years, I've been teaching use-of-force training at the Danish police school. 
  Brutalization is my debut novel, and it's inspired by the American movie Training Day and my many years as a police officer. My intention was to wrap a serious point in a good story—enjoy.
