Synopsis

When politician Arne Gustavsen is found dead beneath the sailing club tower, the police suspect murder. But with a tangled web of political enemies, scorned lovers, and shady developers, everyone seems to have a motive.

Private investigator Olivia Henriksen thought she'd left amateur detecting behind—until her client Sebastian Moe becomes the prime suspect. Now she must navigate small-town politics, religious sects, and a dangerous property developer to uncover the truth.

But when her brother Oskar disappears and Olivia realises the killer is closer than she thought, her investigation becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse. With poisonous mushrooms, bribes, and a luxury villa in the French Riviera all playing their part, she discovers that in the world of Nordic politics, everyone has secrets worth killing for.

As bodies pile up and time runs out, Olivia must use all her wits to save her brother and expose a murderer who will stop at nothing to protect their carefully constructed lies.

The second book in the Island Mysteries series featuring the unforgettable Olivia Henriksen.

    Andreas and Elena moved into a spacious home they filled with treasures from their many travels, while Venky moved to a far smaller two bedroom condominium that he left mostly untended. This initiated a series of events at Angeles Crest University that not even the wildest of psychics could have predicted.  
    Chaos theory describes the butterfly effect — how small actions at one place can lead to unpredictable disturbances later on elsewhere. As a butterfly flaps its wings somewhere in the world, that imperceptible action initiates a cascading sequence of events that create a tornado far removed and an ocean away.  
    Venky's duplicity and machinations would lead to many consequences. A wide cast of characters — university professors, students, alumni and staff and their families, a venture capitalist, a detective, a medical examiner, and a Reiki practitioner — would have to deal with the fallout. 
    As for a major consequence of the butterfly effect, was it murder? Whodunnit?

    Expulsed Harvard student and ex-Special Forces operative Joe Brody is getting his life back together, living with his grandmother in Queens and taking what should be a simple job as a bouncer at a strip club where he can spend most of his night reading the classics. The only catch is that his childhood friend Gio Caprisi, now head of New York's Italian Mafia, relies on Joe’s extra-legal expertise when things get particularly nasty on the streets—where, in an agreement between Gio and the rest of the city's biggest crime syndicates, it's understood that Joe is the sheriff for an industry that doesn’t call the cops. 
     
     
     
    Most recently, New York's criminal underworld has been shaken by the disappearance of its most successful and desirable call girls, vanishing one by one from the brothels where they're employed. As a pattern emerges, what might otherwise appear to be a choice to pursue a new life comes to resemble something more troublesome—the work of a serial kidnapper—and when a woman turns up dead, the hunt for the predator behind it all becomes even more urgent. 
     
     
     
    To find the killer, Joe will have to plunge into the seediest fringes of Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs, populated with memorable characters that add humor and heart to this fast-paced caper.

    Join Chet the dog, "the most lovable narrator in all of fiction" (Boston Globe), and his human partner Bernie as they scramble to solve a case exposing the dark side of internet fame. 
      
    Chet the dog is less than enthusiastic about the Little Detective Agency’s next case. Chet and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, have been hired to find a missing person—only the missing person is a cat. Miss Kitty, an internet sensation, has disappeared, and Chet and Bernie have been hired to find her before her many followers realize something is wrong. 
      
    Miss Kitty belongs to Bitty, a sweet teenage girl who lives with her mom. Bitty and her mother are struggling financially, but the arrival of Miss Kitty and the chance discovery of her social media appeal has changed everything. Bitty now has sponsors, a high-powered agent, and all the tools needed to thrive online, and real money is flowing in. At least, it was. With Miss Kitty gone, the family's income is on the line. 
      
    The case presents a slew of challenges for Chet and Bernie. For one thing, a potential witness is a pig named Senor Piggy who may be in possession of an important piece of evidence. For another, it seems like a possible perp has been killed twice—and there's evidence implicating Bernie in the crime. 
      
    "If you want an action-packed mystery starring a PI with a Porsche and a dog who makes you glad to be alive, Cat on a Hot Tin Woof is the quintessential book for you."—Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author of Heat Wave
