Sinopsis

At the heart of the Copenhagen Climate Summit, a desperate bid to save a dying planet, lies a chilling paradox: a killer who uses trash as their canvas. When renewable energy champion Dr. Jonathan Sparks is found murdered amidst a grotesque sculpture of crushed aluminum cans, waste management expert Kimberly Jensen’s world collides with Detective Nathan Brooks’s cynical reality.  Kimberly, plagued by eco-anxiety but gifted with an uncanny ability to decipher the language of discarded objects, sees a coded message in the carnage, a cryptic indictment of corporate malfeasance.A second victim, entombed in a tapestry of plastic bags, confirms a terrifying pattern.  The Zero-Waste Zealot, a shadowy figure seemingly born from the collective guilt of a consumerist society, has arrived.  As panic grips the summit, Kimberly and Nathan, an unlikely duo bound by the bizarre nature of the crimes, delve into a world of hidden agendas and veiled threats.  Their investigation unearths a network of powerful corporations and influential figures who profit from environmental destruction, their wealth built on the backs of a dying planet.Each gruesome discovery raises the stakes, blurring the lines between activism and extremism, as the Zealot’s chilling waste-woven messages escalate. The coded warnings point to "Gaia's Breath," a controversial geoengineering project with potentially catastrophic consequences, and a ticking clock begins to count down.  Caught in a web of deceit, Kimberly must decipher the Zealot's motives before becoming the next victim.  Can she and Nathan expose the truth before the summit—and the planet—implode?  Or will the whispers of our discarded world be silenced forever?

    It takes a thief … 
      
    "Le Chat" ("The Cat"), an infamous thief, has come out of retirement and is again liberating expensive jewelry from wealthy tourists on the French Riviera. Or is it a "copycat" who is stealing fortunes?  
      
    John Robie thought he had left his larcenous past behind. Once responsible for a string of daring thefts and escapes, he was caught and sent to prison just before the outbreak of World War II. Freed during the German occupation of France, Robie joined the French Resistance and received unofficial amnesty after the war ended. He retired to a simple life in the country where he befriended the local commissaire, Oriol, and tended his gardens. Now it's 1951, and someone has been at work using his old MO. When the police come to arrest him, Robie escapes to Cannes. There, he reconnects with his former comrade Bellini, who convinces Robie to help catch the copycat.  
      
    Disguised as a pudgy, middle-aged American businessman, Robie scouts the local nightclubs and casinos and tries to outthink the new thief. When he meets Francie Stevens, the daughter of a wealthy tourist, she becomes Robie's unwelcome ally, and together they hatch a dangerous plan to catch the thief at a gala party. But soon they both realize that Robie really is a thief at heart. With Oriol and the police on his trail, will he escape capture? Will the real thief be caught? And will Robie give up the thief?

    Number 10 in a best-selling series, which can be a stand-alone listen. 
    Reformed computer hacker Steve Levitan has built a new life for himself after prison, including a home with his fiancée and his golden retriever Rochester. It matters deeply to him, enough to risk it all to bring justice to a killer in his neighborhood. 
    When the clue-sniffing Rochester discovers a body during one of their nightly walks, Steve must look to his neighbors for suspects. Could a killer be lurking along the oak-lined streets? 
    Steve inherited his townhome from his father, and it's more than just a house to him-- it's the place where he recovered from the loss of two miscarried babies, the pain of losing his parents and the misery of his brief incarceration. Now that he has a new sweetheart, and a loving dog, protecting his home is even more important. 
    Could someone in the homeowner's association be sabotaging efforts to keep River Bend a well-maintained place to live? It's up to Steve and Rochester to dig up the clues to bring a murderer to justice, and protect the place they call home.

    The parents aren’t worried. Their son does this, they say. With a storm bearing down on the village, though, Jayne isn’t content to dismiss this as a case of a curious kid off exploring the woods.
